Writer & Narrative Designer

Greg Buchanan is a British writer and narrative designer for AAA, indie, and everything in-between. Since completing his PhD in identification and ethics at King’s College London, Greg has worked on a variety of bestselling, award-winning video games, including the acclaimed 30-hour story update No Man’s Sky: Atlas Rises and its subsequent release, No Man’s Sky: NEXT. Waypoint called the Atlas Rises story a “glimpse into the future of games” while GQ said it was the “most cohesive and intriguing tale that the game had delivered so far”. In early 2018 he was named in GamesIndustry.biz’s Top 100 list.

After recently releasing the popular Alexa narrative game The Vortex, Greg is currently working on Nanotale: Typing Chronicles (the follow-up to Epistory: Typing Chronicles) and several unannounced multi-platform titles. Greg is also a comics writer and novelist. He is represented by Sam Copeland at Rogers, Coleridge & White for an upcoming literary thriller.
