Nerdy about LucasArts and Sierra video games, Star Wars, architecture, JRR Tolkien. He/him/fhtagn. Also on mastodon.social under the same username.

For several years I believed that LucasArts and other developers had created a secret time-capsule hoard of unreleased video games.
But, as I've said more recently, I no longer believe this. I was wrong. And if I hurt anyone when I suggested that theory, I am profoundly sorry.

Different line of work, but while we’re on the subject: Not a single word of anything I’ve written at PC Gamer or elsewhere was drafted, edited, outlined, or in any way generated by AI. And not a single word will be, because it’s antithetical to the thriving of the human spirit.
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.
