I wrote a bit about writing character biographies :D

Specifically which two details can flesh out a character quickly and efficiently - something I mostly learned writing a lot of player and NPC characters for LARP

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.

Man I gotta say I know there's a full team but it's just incredible to see a game where your concepts/stylisation is literally being brought to life!

You see instead of using your literary powers for good you opted to create a game about a near future dystopian England and an epidemic that causes the entire world to quarantine, in this essay I will- 😂

HELLO. I AM IN A GAME.

This is what I've been working on for this last year, working with a small team inside Capy. Find Your Words is a short adventure game that highlights non-speaking kids and the ways they communicate. It also has me in a 3" inseam.

SHARE THIS OR ELSE.
