Lorelei and the Laser Eyes was maybe my favorite game to play this year. It's also proof that you can make a game that's a love letter to cinema without turning it into a vaguely interactive and mostly linear "prestige" cinematic experience. Games don't have to be movies to be culturally relevant.

and if you want to do narrative social simulation design and can’t program, grab NRAAS story progression for Sims 3, decide the kinds of stories you want to see, and fiddle with a bunch of the mod settings to see if you can get them to occur
Need to post something gamedev related in case anyone shows up here lookin for a reason to follow me so eh, my advice for getting into level design is to make a counter strike map or a half life level, same as it was 15 years ago. Bountiful resources, mechanics figured out, top class free editor.
