As Neopets approaches its 25th anniversary in November, it stands at a crucial turning point. Once a leader in the virtual pet realm, the platform has experienced stagnation under various corporate owners over the years. Now under the leadership of CEO Dominic Law, Neopets is on the brink of a renaissance, rekindling its magic that captivated millions when it first burst onto the scene. The team is committed to modernizing the experience by exploring avenues such as mobile and tabletop games and merchandise to ensure Neopets evolves beyond its PC roots, adopting fresh developments while still evoking a strong sense of nostalgia. We speak to Dean Ravenola, who serves as Neopets' Narrative and Creative Director, bringing a tapestry of rich storytelling to the digital realm. With a diverse portfolio from video games to graphic novels, he has dedicated his efforts to weaving engaging storylines and fortifying the brand's narrative arc, preparing it for a global audience. https://www.justsaying.asia/ep-39-justsaying-with-dean-ravenola-narrative-and-creative-director-at-neopets/
