Giving this a little boost to make it clear I am also looking for freelance work. I've already spoken to some great peeps!

Happy to work with indies any size! Need help with some theming? Can't face writing any more barks? Need a little a bit of lore?

I write and narrative design, what a bargain.
Unfortunately, my role as Senior Narrative Designer at Playtonic has been made redundant. I'm now open to Senior/principal writing & Narrative Design roles UK - Remote/Hybrid.

Actors are these experts you hire to think about and embody an entire character and bring them to life.

NEW! Columbo Decorations! Celebrating perhaps the greatest tv detective. They can be sent as cards and hung as decorations, the versatility is astounding!
Just one more thing...head on over to heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com for these and LOADS of other quality merchandise.

Yes! I love working with actors so much!
if you don’t hire VO actors you don’t get to make them laugh, which is one of the great joys in life

Many devs give up early because they assume making games is just a matter of following tutorials until something "clicks"

Playing games and making them are two completely different experiences.

There are no fixed rules. You’ll have to find what works for you.

Huh, so more people than I thought got started in games due to Lionhead's work experience programe. Makes me wish something like it was possible today.

The Movies got me into the games industry. It came out post uni when I was struggling to find work. I spent a lot of time doing voice over for various movies the community made with the game...so I spent a lot of time on the forums...

Since we're heading into the festive season... last year I put out a card game about pitching Hallmark style Christmas movies.

Tempted to put out an expansion this year, if I can think of a good enough theme.
Pitching Perfect - print and play by rebeccamwrites
A game about pitching perfect festive movies and the execs who ruin Christmas.

For those idles, we played part of a song for the performer once and told them: You don't have to remember it well. You don't have to be good, in fact it's better if you're not. Think "singing in the shower."
This Outer Worlds 2 clip was posted on Reddit with the note: "This tiny moment is my favorite in the entire game, a guard NPC is singing the radio songs to himself."

I worked on that mission so heard that clip 100x and it was never not funny to me. Thanks Andrew Kishino for the great performance!

The first game that comes to mind when I think of great item descriptions it's Dredge. Some of the descriptions given to the fish you catch are incredible!
