Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

Download this asap.

There's a reason behind the reviews—Ambrosia Sky IS that good, and deserves all of the praise it is receiving.

Don't know what to gift someone in the upcoming holidays? Looking for a little treat? Instead of overpriced coffee, consider one of the greatest interactive stories.

I played the demo of this & think there’s something special here. For $15 I highly urge you to pick this up and take a look as it evolves episodically.

(disclaimer: I have friends on the team, but probably I would be more effusive if I didn’t because this is a model I want to see supported)

Our industry does have peer-voted awards, the most visible being DICE, Game Developers Choice Awards, BAFTA. There are scores of smaller developer-led awards too. We do have spaces to celebrate and uplift one another, please support and watch these shows! The teams work hard for the devs!

Well, tone of the ttrpg writing/designing contract gigs I was on just went up in smoke for reasons outside of my control. So, yeah if anyone has leads on a full time job; HMU in DM's?

In the meantime throwing means of support out. Again. JFC

I'm going to be honest it is unpleasant to work in the discipline within the games industry that people seem to have especially-reserved venom for. Nobody seems really intent on calling out, eg, video game sountracks they think are middling as if it's really important to yell about.

It’s National Author’s Day. A lot of people say these words. “I could write a book. Anyone can do that.” And yet, it’s only a tiny percentage who actually complete one.
Here’s to the authors. We need creativity/art/escape more than ever.
Well done you! You are appreciated.🥂❤️
