Summary
Summer Gadsby is a narrative designer with a BS in Computer Science: Computer Game Design from UC Santa Cruz and nine years of experience crafting character-driven stories, quests, and branching dialogue for games. Currently at Worldseekers Gaming and previously at Legio Vox Studios, she implements narrative content in Unity and Naninovel and coordinates closely with art, engineering, and design teams to ensure scenes and hangouts integrate smoothly. Her background spans narrative, gameplay, UI, and level design, plus programming and web development, giving her a practical cross-disciplinary edge when prototyping systems or writing lore. She has judged student games and mentored through detailed feedback, demonstrating a critical design eye and ability to communicate constructive notes. Colleagues value her collaborative approach in writers’ rooms and her willingness to iterate on quests based on playtesting and feedback. Based in Goleta, California, she combines technical fluency with an editor’s attention to branching narrative outcomes that sometimes reward players—and sometimes purposefully do not.
