Game Description
Set in a medieval world, the game allows players to build up their land with castles and buildings, craft armor, art and trade items and customize the player's character. The evil Wizard Faugrimm has trapped heroes and allies in a miasma called the Gloom.
The objective is to explore this unknown land around the starting territory and expand the player's kingdom into it. Form friendships with a varied cast of characters, find and raise fantastic creatures and immerse yourself in a world full of wonder.

I've been in love with Creative Writing and this was my first chance to exercise this professionally and challenge myself in the real world to do what I loved.
I was placed on the CastleVille team shortly after I joined Zynga based on my apptitude for Writing and Game Design keeping in mind the consistency and quality required for the game's mechanics and narrative goals.
