Background & Brief

I worked on a small indie project called Four Moons – Tales of Occi as a writer and world builder.

Here, I helped to create the histories, religion, and lore for the main race of the game. To create a unique and believable religion, I drew inspiration from Confucianism, as well as historical events like the Bronze Age collapse, the Medieval Dark Ages, and the rise of the Catholic clergy. Using these influences, I crafted a religion centered around a mythical great hunt and a set of core philosophical tenets that the followers adhered to. The collapse of civilizations and the rise of religious institutions in history shaped how the religion in Four Moons evolved, just as ancient societies experienced shifts in power, belief systems, and societal structures.

I also collaborated with another writer to develop the day-to-day life of the people, creating an intricate political system composed of guilds, a dynastic monarchy, and a strict religious clergy. The blending of historical themes and fantasy elements allowed for a richer world-building experience, one that felt grounded in both historical cycles and unique mythologies. It was a highly satisfying project, and I gained invaluable experience in working collaboratively with other writers to bring the world of Four Moons to life.
