Jes Mahoney | Games Writer
I learned to type by playing adventure games
My father brought home a copy of Space Quest I not long after I was 2 years old. Transfixed, I watched him and, as the family lore records, I typed “buy robot” on my own after seeing him do it. I’ve been a fan of games, especially those that tell a story, for as long as I can remember.
When I grew up, I studied Filmmaking at the London Film Academy, which gave me a wonderful grounding in the art of visual storytelling. Since then, I’ve walked many paths, from working on film sets to archiving 35mm film elements to performing and directing Voice Acting.
Now it’s time for me to come home. I spent years in the indie space writing for Mobile Games, and now I’ve re-upped after studying Game Writing under Adrian Ropp (head writer of Hogwarts Legacy and Disney Infinity). I’m ready to make my first move into the AAA industry.
