I wrote an article about dialogue choice as part of a narrative designer’s toolkit *aside* from branching, instead considering how choice can invite us to *perform* a character.

My case study is South of Circle’s beautiful fuzzy meaning-making (using symbols instead of words). 💜 Give it a go!

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.

It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Got upset about two specific no-lifers who stalk mine and my colleagues’ linkedins for any crumb of YouTube content, but remembered that I’m comparatively so much happier with my life and career than they are with theirs

Not we won an award. Congrats to the team. Loved working in Midnight and bringing that authenticity and representation to the South and Black stories.

"The games industry in particular is at the intersection of entertainment and tech...there are a lot of connections between the games industry and the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people."

Like ten years ago I made this comic/essay about masculinity…kinda wanna run that back because the discourse about manhood, male-hood, and the overall function of masculinity today has ripened enough that I MIGHT have something to say
