FAQ
How does the process work?
The secret sauce is caffeine! We will begin discussing the scope of your project through messages. Then, we can meet through a brief free call or a full 1 hour+ in depth consultation. Then, we can continue consulting through meetings or I can provide written work in any desired style or format.
What if I'm not satisfied with the final product?
Like aliens, it's technically possible... but highly unlikely! In the event the unthinkable happens, I have a generous two free revision policy to hone my delivery into just what you were looking for! If further back and forth is needed, further revisions can be added on.
Can you work within my budget?
I'm flexible, if time allows and the idea inspires! Depending on my current workload, I may be able to accommodate passion projects, indie games, and other noble startups for discounted rates!
How do you determine rates?
Supply and Demand! I have a base rate for consultations and charge by the word count for written works. These adapt based upon my current project encumbrance.
Are you available for long term projects?
Yes! If the idea is exciting and the rates are reasonable, I can sell my metaphorical sword for a long term campaign.
What do you enjoy most about storytelling and design?
I love seeing the hidden threads behind stories, the way that ideas seem to "click" together into a beautiful and elegant whole. Humans are natural story tellers, all of us, ever since we sat around campfires. I love to perform in this primal, deeply human activity.

I hate giving negative reviews. I booked a call to discuss some sticking points in stories / quests for a point and click adventure game. Unfortunately he did not give any usable advice. I had the same sort of call with two other people on fiver and they were better by a lot. The things he did come...

All the reviews about Shane are wrong because he deserves 6 stars, not only 5. Shane has amazing knowledge of the world and it is incredibly useful for concepting and coming up with novel ideas because he has so many places to pull inspiration from. He provided a lot of great playable ideas for our game...
