Spec Script for “Talking Tom & Friends” about an Alien Prince on the Run
When Outfit7 posted a job opening on their website for a “Narrative Designer,” I had a lot of fun creating a personalized project for my application.

Created a brand-new character to add to the Talking Tom & Friends universe
Wrote the script for a “Talking Tom & Friends” episode that introduces this brand-new character
Provided base outlines for two games based on said character
Meet Kyle, the Fugitive Alien Prince!
Kyle (K.Y.L.E.), which stands for “King of Your Little Earth,” is a prince from space who is on the run, and he needs the gang’s help to stay hidden where his alien parents can’t find him.
Young by alien standards but old by Earth ones, Kyle is inquisitive, impulsive, and used to getting what he wants, when he wants it. He wasn’t allowed to have many friends growing up because of the security risk, so when he meets Talking Tom and friends, he is eager to fit in.

An alien prince named Kyle lands on top of the garage and demands that Talking Tom and his friends help hide him from his intergalactic parents! The best way to keep an alien hidden on Earth is to teach them how to blend in…right?"
