WARBITS+ - VIDEO GAME MARKETING CAMPAIGN
This is a series of videos I wrote as the marketing campaign for Warbit+ by Risky Labs. These videos are a series of conversations between the hero trainer (Blip) and the antagonist trainer (Wave). Some are simply a character driven recruitment style videos to call the player to action, some are game feature explainers, others are designed to establish the tone and premise of the game.

Game synopsis/world writing
(HOUSE OF SPARTA, game pill studios)
General, the Spartans await your command. The Persian army has come before us with false claims they are Kings, Gods, and Immortals. But we know what they truly are, Tyrants who want nothing more than to take our freedom. But we are Spartans. We would rather die on our feet than bow to a false King. We were born of battle, trained from birth, we know only combat and honor.
We turn to you now to guide us, train us, help us build our camps and weaponry, so that we may defeat the Persian Empire at our doorsteps. We are outnumbered, but with your help we will make them regret the day they stepped foot at the doorstep of the greatest warriors who ever lived.
