Beyond These Stars
As of March 2025, Laura is writing the city building game Beyond These Stars from Balancing Monkey games as the Senior Narrative Designer & Writer.
Driven to explore the mysteries of the cosmos, the denizens of Beyond These Stars risk everything to settle on the back of Kewa, a majestic creature who travels the stars.
Beyond These Stars is not just about developing a city and resources, but also about developing a relationship with Kewa.
Will players exploit Kewa’s resources for gain, no matter the cost? Will they try to live in harmony with Kewa?
With the narrative design, Laura has worked to create themes that examine and reward anti-colonial behaviour as well as environmentalism.
Beyond These Stars releases on 17 October 2026.
