Hey Bluesky! I’m Liv, an Aussie Community Manager and Game Writer living in Finland 🇫🇮

When I’m not at work or playing games, you’ll find me at a dance class, bouldering gym, or dnb rave. Music is one of my greatest loves ❤️

I’m forever a Sims 3 girlie, and proud Glee kid 🫡

Nice to meet you!!
Writing for Barrow was a blast! It’s a shame we won’t be able to release it in all its glory, but the team did such amazing work on this game and I’m super proud to have been a part of it 💚🪴
Introducing Barrow!

A Gardening FPS where your Grandma has opened a portal to a decaying underworld in her cottage town.

We were unable to secure funding but I'm excited to share what the team built.

My second single ‘Lose My Grip’ is out now everywhere!! I’m really proud of this one 🥹

It’s a song I’ve been trying to write for a long time. If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety, or you just like liquid dnb, it might be your jam 🫶

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟
