Character Creators
An editorial engine for games & entertainment
The problem
Games and entertainment coverage is crowded; a niche editorial voice needs a real publishing engine, not just a blog.
What I did
Character Creators is where my games-media work resurfaced, 25 years after I built and ran Nurck.com (its own story in the Studio). I stood it up and run it: the CMS, the games database, the bylined editorial cadence, and the Twitch presence.
The layers
- Data modelA structured games database that the content draws on
- CMS / frameworkEditorial CMS with a bylined publishing workflow
- FrontendA community-driven publication built around character creators
How it works
A content engine with a structured games database and a regular bylined publishing rhythm across video games, movies, and TV.
What I learned
A publication is an engine, not a website. The CMS and data model matter less than showing up on a schedule, every week.
