About

Hi, I’m Javier Chaney—a narrative designer and cultural consultant with years of international game experience across Goat Games, Yotta Game Studio, and Magic Tavern. I build storylines, character dialogue, and world-building for mobile puzzle and action games, and I love cross-cultural collaboration to ensure authenticity for diverse audiences.

I’ve led language quality assurance for English localization, contributed to art direction, concept art, and marketing design, and I enjoy collaborating with design and art teams to maintain cohesive storytelling across gameplay and visuals.
