Charli [AKA Charles] Battersby is a Game Designer, Journalist, and actress.
I wrote an Interactive Fiction video game for Choice of Games. It’s about cheerleaders who fight crime and solve mysteries in dystopian New York (And it’s semi-autobiographical too). You can play a free demo of Cheerleader’s Choice: New York Spirit right HERE.
I also wrote a swords & sorcery comedy for Choice of Games. You can play Kidnapped: A Royal Birthday HERE.
I am also known for my plays The Astonishing Adventures of All-American Girl & The Scarlet Skunk, and That Cute Radioactive Couple.
In the “Back When Times” I was the screenwriter and co-creator of the animated webseries The Storyteller: Fallout.
I have also written for sites including Chelsea Community News, and their sister site LGBTQ Community News. As well as Geek.com, Complex, and Joystiq.
I’m also an actress and a former cheerleader. I created a blog about being a Background Actress, or “Extra” in movies and TV shows. Have a look at Woman Number 2 on Substack.
Here are some sample chapters of my book about How game design helped me become a cheerleader. And how cheerleading helped me become a video game designer. Pompoms & Powerups.
