Welcome to my writing website.

I'm Tom Jubert, a freelance narrative designer and games developer based in London. My credits as Story Lead include Subnautica, The Talos Principle, The Swapper, and the Penumbra series. My writing credits include FTL, Driver: San Francisco and Binary Domain.

I've been making games since 2006. In that time I've been selected for Develop and Forbes' "30 Under 30" lists, brought home an IGF, and been interviewed in renowned industry publications like Gamespot, Develop and Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

Do you want to discuss a project, ask about games writing in general, or just having a natter? Why not get in touch?

Disclaimer: Google has forced me to convert this site to a new format, and I have not been bothered to go back through and correct all the mistakes, so sorry it looks a bit broken.

"Subnautica is a template for what open-world survival games should strive to be. It’s fantastical, fresh, and frightening from surface to seabed, with a story that kept on surprising me and a cast of sea monsters that quite literally haunted my dreams. It’s a testament to how enticing those secrets are that I’m willing to face my fears and plunge my submersible into the darkest corners of its unforgiving ocean again and again."

Some other ways to keep up with my movements are Twitter, LinkedIn and via my blog.

I work according to the contractual and rates guidelines set out by the British Writers' Guild of Great Britain; and I fight for creatives' rights to a share of the profits of their labour.
