About

I’m Oğuzhan Açıkalın. Most people call me Ozzy. I was born in Germany in 1997 and I live in Istanbul. In 2019 I graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at Istanbul Medipol University. Games and stories are what I ended up doing.

I’m a self-taught narrative designer and writer. I co-founded InEv Games and InEv Creative, where I lead writing and narrative design. So far that covers Livber, a visual novel out on Steam, Kardiya, a narrative RPG in development, and two incremental games coming to Steam. I also do technical narrative design on Milord at iBright Games, and narrative and game design in Unreal Engine on Tales of the Trade, which is under NDA.

I write outside games too. I have a book, Batının Kubbesi (The Dome of the West), and a children’s book, İnciye Dönüşen Yıldız (The Star That Became a Pearl). I write for Kayıp Rıhtım, and from 2022 to 2024 I wrote news and reviews for Fantastik Canavarlar.

I have a soft spot for tabletop RPG settings. I build my own for FATE and run them at the table.
