It's been such a joy watching playtesters react the various layers of her writing from the heartfelt moments, to rage-inducing Hermes, and all the puns and jokes along the way!
And I cannot express how grateful I am at how much she taught me about writing from structure to theme to even dialog.

Oh @oneofmoo.bsky.social you are making me tear up 🥹 The pleasure has been all mine. This has been my first proper voyage into writing for games and I have been honoured to learn from you and work with you. Thank you for making it a memorable and wonderful experience 🧡✨

I think Lara was actually the first person I ever told about the project. We chatted after an event and as total strangers, but I felt comfortable enough to tell her about my random game idea. Almost a decade later, I found her business card and we got to work together on it!

Lara (@larabarbier.bsky.social) has wrapped up all of her writing and editing work for Mythmatch!
She was so patient writing treatment after treatment and draft after draft to find a story about belonging and rejection that fit perfectly with the merge mechanics of the game.

I'm doing the 4th edit pass on the Mythmatch script (me, @larabarbier.bsky.social, @carlyreadsinbed.bsky.social, me again) and I still always laugh at my own jokes.

Next time someone in the industry says nobody’s interested in stories about mature strong women stick them in front of #RiotWomen. It’s struck a chord with the public because it’s so relatable. Hey, half the population are female and the menopause will come to all of them. Sally Wainwright aces it.
