I’ve worked as a writer on the Old World Blues mod for Hearts of Iron IV since January of 2025.

Most of my work has been going back and cleaning up or filling in old writing that has been left behind. This gave me a nice level of freedom while also limiting me by what came before. It has also been a great way to get used to writing in a voice different from my own as I have to match the writing that was established before I joined the team.

I’ve also done some work on the mod on new and original additions to the Old World project. This writing was especially fun because it was longer form, which I hadn’t done much of yet on the project. Being a new addition, this writing is also much more collaborative and scrutinized by others. I’ve appreciated it as I’ve gotten more used to receiving feedback and iterating.

Here is a link to some idea descriptions, short flavorful tooltips for different perks you can unlock as a faction. These are for the Broken Coast, a raider group that lives along the coast of Alaska.

And here is a link to my longer form work on some upcoming content. They take the form of “events” which serve as short stories or other pieces of writing to describe ongoing events.
These pieces are for a hivemind creature called The Fauna that can take over Honduras and possess humans!

I’d like to thank Sydney Hills for advice with writing the Fauna too. Putting me on using a historical thesaurus was life changing.
