Nikola R. Petrov

I am Nikola R. Petrov

A professional game designer and writer based in Sofia, Bulgaria.

I've been working in the gaming industry for the past 6 years, holding the positions of Game Designer (Snapshot Games, The King of All Bards), Narrative Director (ZenART VR), and Gaming Journalist (EarlyGame.com, eSports.com).

Before the pandemic, I used to tour with my band Eriney.

I love creating thematic games with an emphasis on creative writing, world-building, and mechanics as metaphors.
