Overview
RKO Interactive is an independent video game development studio that specializes in virtual reality (XR/VR).
I worked as a Technical Writer and Business Communications Assistant at RKO Interactive. They are most known for developing Davigo, a VR vs. PC physics-based battle game.
My work was primarily based around the development of the VR Interaction Design Lab, an in-house sandbox game that allows for experimentation of physics simulations in VR—from fluids, cloth, ropes, soft-bodies, to destruction.
I was responsible for writing technical development logs that documented the technical developments of this game, in addition to funding documentation and spreadsheet data management.
Grant Writing
I produced application materials for a national funding initiative under CreativeBC.
I organized a competitive grant application for CreativeBC's Video Games Early Stage Growth Program, a provincial initiative awarding up to $50,000 for successful companies. I published a company biography, business plan, and a pitch deck, which included the following sections.
- Vision statement
- Strategic goals
- Purpose of funding
- Costs breakdown
- Expected outcomes
- Timeline/milestones
- Methods of tracking progress
- Policies for inclusive hiring
Data Spreadsheet Management
I managed data spreadsheets in Google Sheets, where I compiled information about international gaming events and funding opportunities. These spreadsheets were regularly updated (at least once a week) with information I would obtain through my own research.

Technical Writing
I wrote technical articles (dev-logs) to document my company's game development process.
I compiled clips, interviewed my developer team, wrote outlines of each developer's technical progress, and published final dev-logs on the company website. In total, I wrote forty dev-logs, and prepared thirty additional outlines. You can find all of the posts here.
