Hello! I’m James Seiji Nadiger. I love making games. I love writing stories. I love working with cool people.

I’m passionate about merging systemic gameplay with worldbuilding and character development to create special moments in both the player’s story and the game’s fiction. I use every narrative tool that games have to offer to deliver a rich and immersive AAA game experience. I’m currently a scriptwriter at Ubisoft Montreal.

I love comics!

I’m also a freelance comic book writer, looking for new opportunities in both franchise and creator-owned spaces.

I’d love to write a comic for you, so please connect with me on LinkedIn or send me an email.

Random facts about me:

  • I’m half-Japanese, on my mother’s side

  • Born in Vancouver, BC, currently living in Montreal, QC (yes, I speak French!)

  • I like to cook, started making ramen during the pandemic

  • While I absolutely love games, movies, TV, comics, etc., I love Lego because it’s the only hobby that doesn’t involve me picking stories apart
