Shon Lizgold

Currently Seeking

Narrative Lead or Senior Writer roles / Indie titles with literary ambition.

Shon Lizgold is a 23 year old graduate of the Game Programming program at Humber Polytechnic. He has been playing video games since early childhood, with Heroes of Might and Magic III and Diablo II being the first titles to spark his passion. Always fascinated by interactive storytelling, his primary inspirations are The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and the rich lore of League of Legends (the world of Runeterra).

Shon specializes in story writing, world-building, and character development. For every major project he joins, he designs the core concept, establishes the overall theme, and crafts the narrative. By doing so, he ensures the entire team is aligned on how the game should look, feel, and play.

Craft / Three Pillars

Story World

A world should revolve on its own, and not around the player.

Character Life

Characters should not just be used as props to tell the story, but have a live they live.

Restraint

Creative ideas come from experimentation, limiting oneself is a way to achieve that.
