Game writing is its own medium with its own rules that doesn't end with words, it's world-building, narrative design, and environmental storytelling all at once.
What's your favorite example of good storytelling in games?

Let's take a second to appreciate the mundane by design. What did you work hard on so that players don't even notice?

Did you know NYC had a militarized sanitation force in the early 1900s?
Neither did we until we started researching for Aether & Iron. Now they're the White Street Sanitation Brigade in our 1930s noir world.
What's your best fact that's stranger than fiction? 👇

If you missed my #sponsored stream of @seismicsquirrel.bsky.social's #Aether&Iron demo, you can catch it on #YouTube.
We meet Gia, get acquainted with #DecoPunk New York City, take on a simple job and start to assemble our crew. We also get a peek at the tactical vehicle combat and skill system!

In the 90's, the game's industry was built different. Imagine walking in barefoot and walking out with $100 and a job. #gamedev #story #behindthescenes #career
