“Rhianna is a passionate writer who is inspiring, gracious, thoughtful,
and trusting. It was my great pleasure to work with her over the course of
Tomb Raider. As the Lead Writer on the project, she breathed new life into
Lara Croft with her fantastic script.
“Rhianna was always helpful and insightful with her feedback on my work,
and was equally responsive to my own feedback to her. Our tight communication
loop ensured a smooth narrative flow, from script to game. The success of
Tomb Raider simply wouldn’t have been possible without her considerable
contribution and influence. Collaborating with her has been a truly rewarding
experience. I sincerely hope we can work together again.”

“Working with Rhianna on story and character is a real
treat — she has a complete understanding of the work
that needs to be put in to tell an interactive narrative, which is
important to us at Telltale. She’s professional, personable,
passionate, and productive and was able to work with our in-house
writing staff seamlessly. As a writer, I really hope to get the
opportunity to work with her again.”

“As writer and co-story designer Rhianna made a massive contribution
to the twisted humorous fantasy world of Overlord. Throughout the
project she displayed a huge amount of creativity, energy and flexibility
under time-critical circumstances. Rhianna also played an important part in
the direction of the voice recording helping the actors to capture
Overlord’s unique charm.”

“During a very difficult project, I found Rhianna and the way she worked
like a breath of fresh air. Super creative, easy to communicate with and
(most importantly for the game in question) very, very fast. Her versatility
as a script and story writer was second to none and she has an excellent
understanding of plot devices and character progression which really helps fill
out the fiction behind any game she’s working on. Add to that her availability
for recording sessions and her willingness to participate in the development of
ideas within the games she works on and you will soon see that she’s absolutely
the whole package. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“We established early on that we needed a scriptwriter involved
from the beginning, and we were very lucky to bring on board the fantastic
Rhianna Pratchett. Thanks to her, we quickly established who the characters
were, what they meant to each other and what the cause and effect of each
cut-scene would be, so that dramatically we could move the story on.”

“Rhianna worked very closely with us to develop not just the storyline
but more importantly the characters and universe of Mirror’s Edge.
She was very professional, easy to work with and always delivered on time
— even with short notice. She provided not just an insight into
writing and story-telling but also provided an invaluable female perspective
that was so important for Mirror's Edge. Rhianna is passionate not just
about her writing but also about games and that is a very rare combination
to find.”

“I had a great time working with Rhianna on Overlord.
She brought those unsavoury characters to life with some
wonderfully twisted writing, which was just what the project needed.
The dialogue was fit for a movie. She gave me the creative space
to play and voice sessions were made a lot more fun
thanks to her being in the co-director's chair.”

“Rhianna’s work is always of the lowest standard,
she is never on time and is constantly rude to staff!
Okay, actually we are huge fans of her work and have
never found her to be anything other than professional,
enthusiastic and talented.”

“Rhianna is a bright, skilled and professional writer
with both the drive and the talent to make positive contributions
to any project she is involved in. Every time we’ve worked
with Rhianna she has delivered work promptly and to a very high
standard. As she continually gains in skills and experience
she will undoubtedly achieve great things.”

“On our last RPG, Rhianna did a fantastic job
of transforming the intentions of our game designers
into easy to read entertaining dialog. She transformed
what was essentially a collection of words into high
quality polished phrases, and always delivered her work
on time within budget. When starting work on our new RPG,
I didn't hesitate to contact her again when we needed
work to be done on the storyline.”
