DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT…

"Cory was absolutely critical in helping the team ship several narrative-heavy titles -- including the ground-breaking Lone Echo and its sequel Lone Echo II -- while also helping several unannounced projects find their voice throughout pre-production. From macro-story-beats to scene direction to individual character dialogue, Cory did it all AND helped uplift more junior members of the narrative team too. Simply put, without Cory those games would not have reached high quality-bar they aspired to."

—Robert Duncan - Design Director, Ready At Dawn
"Cory is simply the best writer I have ever worked with in my 16 years long career. He has fantastic ideas and imagination, a unique sense of humor, and a deep understanding of video games."

—Istvan Zsuffa - Creative Director, Primal Game Studio
"I would recommend Cory without a second thought to anyone that is seeking great storytelling."

— Rudolf Diogo Mosca Klumpp - Producer, YAGER Development
"Cory’s knowledge of writing, character design and narrative flow is impressive [and] when combined with his natural creative talent, Cory produces compelling and inventive worlds for video games."

—Christopher Tudor Smith - Creative Director, Day 1 Studios
"In this business I am challenged every day with intricate stories and characters, and it makes a HUGE difference when the developer knows what they want. Cory is the kind of writer / designer that knew what he wanted, and was capable of explaining exactly what was right for the production! Cory is a real team player, and in my book, that is a big plus!"

—Chris Borders - Voice Over Director (Mass Effect, Gears of War, Bioshock Infinite)
"Cory is first and foremost an excellent storyteller. His solid writing skills were essential in adding the needed depth to characters, exciting gameplay moments, and great dialogue that kept the story moving along at a great pace. [He] has a vast understanding of the game development process and is able to work directly with each discipline to help with any number of issues that may arise by offering narrative solutions. He is highly adaptable in this sense as his solutions are quick, efficient, and thorough while maintaining the integrity of the story."
