i would’ve thought there’d very little baseball news that i would be interested in hearing today after the M’s loss last night. HOWEVER

THE DREAM LIVES. THIS IS ALL I’M GONNA TALK ABOUT FOR WEEKS

hey i'm jess & i'm doing #portfolioday since some games i've been working on were recently announced!

i'm a professor and narrative designer -- currently working with Red Thread Games on Hello Sunshine, and i've worked on other projects for them, Studio Chyr, Six to Start, Carnegie Hall, & more

i placed an ice cube in there to keep them cool. this one is hanging out in the resulting puddle

idk how to tell you this but there are two frogs living in this shoe. i haven’t been able to get both of them in one shot yet but stay tuned for updates

i sometimes see this going around on july 4th which always feels strange to me bc Lyn Fireemblem would not say that. she would probably say something more based. pretty sure she didn’t even believe in borders

he’s back at it AGAIN

why are they doing this to me. it’s not even noon and Cal Raleigh is hitting dingers already. and i missed it

genuinely mistook this cat for my cat

this notification is like ten days old but it reads like the Mariners are one massive guy whose limbs are made of smaller individual guys. “George Kirby (shoulder) and Logan Gilbert (elbow)” like if MLB teams were transformers. is this anything

EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU ROWDY TELLEZ

i'll be at @narrascope.org this year talking about creating better workflows for game narratives!

this is one of the best conferences for people working in interactive narrative, so if that's you, check it out. & i hear that membership registration is discounted for the next 24hrs or so 👀

this is what i look like. if you see me at gdc come say hi and lmk if you know where to find sunflower seeds

i'll be at GDC! would love to meet up with gamedev friends and also make new ones -- drop me a line if you want to chat, grab a coffee, sit silently in Yerba Buena, etc ☕

incredible reporting. “He poked fun at many of the show’s nominees, and himself.” did he also arrange words in such a way as to evoke amusement or laughter, also known as joking?

literally just gave a talk yesterday where i repeated my mantra “there’s a real urgency problem in video games these days”

only to start Lost Records today & find myself saying “i can’t believe the ice cream stand closed while i recorded my 5th take of a clown standee. how could this happen. fuck.”

gonna try to do an intro post finally

i’m jess — i do narrative design for action adventure games, educational games, VR games, & more. i also write about decolonial approaches to games & game studies

looking to connect w more game dev & game scholar folks!
