There are almost no pure 'writing' jobs in this industry. Games narrative is inextricably tied to design and can be pulled in countless directions by any other department at any time. Being a 'good writer' is a fraction of your day to day.
What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Here’s a second shot of the eclipse where you can see “Baily’s beads”… the sun shining through the mountains and valleys on the moon.

I decided to draw the Tyrannosaurs from the Lost World (1925) for today's Kaijoktoberfest inktober. Some people consider the T. Rex in the Lost World to be the first kaiju to appear on screen but it is for sure the first fucked up looking guy to appear in a movie

PLAY MY PAL ANNA'S GAME IT RULES
Posting this here too - I wrote a devlog about the Western as genre fiction and how our narrative found its home in the subgenre of "anti-Western." It's been honestly such a joy being the Lead Writer for The Foglands - I can't wait for you all to play it.

Once again thinking about this dog from 1908, who kept pushing children into the river so he could get steaks for rescuing them.
