Kiln: Xbox Developer Direct 2026

For Xbox Developer Direct 2026, I edited the announcement of Kiln, Double Fine’s multiplayer game. The piece had to explain the game while preserving the team’s irreverent personality. Working closely with Xbox, I shaped the story around visual gags, clear gameplay ideas, and a playful musical rhythm. The first cut came together in roughly seven days, followed by refinements and a finishing handoff to Artifact.
