Brooke is a narrative designer and writer from Australia.
She has worked on award-winning games titles such as The Gardens Between, Paperbark, Florence, and Control. She currently works at Remedy Entertainment in Helsinki.
Brooke received the MCV Pacific XBOX Women in Games Creative Impact award for her work in the game industry.
Brooke assisted in the development of the story in our narrative-heavy mobile game. Her experience using the native elements of games to tell stories allowed her to quickly understand our problem space, identify areas that could be improved, and guide us toward new possibilities and fresh approaches. Brooke was a joy to work with - creative, patient and a strong communicator. We're excited about working more with Brooke on future projects!
Brooke led the narrative direction of The Gardens Between and the work speaks for itself. She deftly combines her understanding of storytelling and game design to craft innovative experiences. I found her input to be sharp, considerate of the complexities of the craft, and challenging. Brooke took on a variety of tasks outside of her comfort zone, and with her fierce intellect and great energy, she pushed herself to adapt, learn and grow. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Brooke and she is a delight to have on our team.
I have had the pleasure to work with Brooke Maggs on a range of projects with ACMI over the past few years and highly recommend her skills, talent and professionalism. At ACMI we have engaged her to present on narrative and narrative design to a range of audiences from school groups to academic conferences to general public seminars. Brooke shows an excellent ability to engross the audience and portray and pass on her in-depth and acute skills and knowledge.
