Size Five Games has a history of making very funny, very well-written games. We’d like to bring that skillset to your projects.
Our next game, however, isn’t very funny. It’s just shaping up to be a more serious affair than our previous games, and that makes us a bit sad because there’s little we love more than writing comedy.
So we’ve opened ourselves up to the wider world, and are offering ‘narrative design’ services, which is a posh way of saying we’ll write funny words and dream up clever story ideas to make your game better.
We’ve been quietly working behind the scenes on a number of projects, from teeny-tiny one-man indie studio fare, up to big-budget existing IP. We can tailor our services to meet any need.
We’re not just writers. We have a long history of actually making games. We know what will and won’t work with your budget, and we have the experience necessary to provide exactly what your project needs. We’re not going to send you a load of overblown gumph you can’t possibly use.
We provide ‘overview’ story ideas, constructive criticism on existing projects, example dialogue, mission examples, character bios and more. Anything you need to help get a firmer idea on your game’s story.

Testimonials
“Size Five were supportive, professional and (above all) very funny throughout the entire process. Whether it was initial conversations, game design feedback or narrative design work, they overdelivered every time. We can't wait to get them back in the studio!”
— Niall Taylor, DrawAndCode
“Size Five was really great to work with. We had a nice chat first to determine what I was looking for and which direction to explore. Then pretty quickly they came back with a fancy document chock full of creative ideas. Together we explored the parts we liked and iterated towards a solid plot. Bouncing ideas back and forth like that really helped me find the best angle for the story I wanted to tell, and I look forward to further developing the framework they helped me create. Good stuff!”
— Tim Hengeveld, Project Lead
“Size Five were a delight to work with, from our initial conversations to the final delivery of story pitches. They familiarised themselves with an existing universe and quickly generated a whole host of funny creative ideas which immediately felt at home within the established setting. I'm extremely grateful for the experience that Dan and Ben have been able to share with me and the help they have given in developing exciting new designs.”
— Tom Simpson, Indie Dev
"We asked Size Five to put together a narrative concept to help turn a fairly dry set of mechanics into an interesting game ready for pitching. Dan and Ben did an excellent job, creating three separate highly imaginative concepts which were all incredibly funny and sparked a host of creative ideas on how to theme our game."
— Fraser McCormick, Grumpy Ferret
“I had so much feedback on so many aspects of my game that I'd never even thought about. You'll learn extremely valuable lessons from Size Five, and your project will be infinitely better for it. Do not sleep on the opportunity to have true industry professionals consult on your project.”
— Sean Robertson, Indie Dev
“Size Five went and above and beyond to carefully understand what we were trying to achieve and offer a variety of solutions that ticked every box. At all stages of the project, they were generous with their time and with their suggestions which demonstrated that they genuinely cared about the outcome of our project — it's all you can ask for.”
