Oh, new followers! Hi, I'm a writer and narrative designer. I worked on games such as Sandwalkers, Legend of Keepers, Diluvian Winds, Looking For Fael or Ruggnar. I also write awesome fantasy novels.
I'm looking for both new game dev missions and novel publishers right now so tell your friends.

Looots of colleagues not understanding why they use AI as it makes things shittier.
The point is to make people accept a shittier cultural environment. Apparently people can't play more than they do now so all is left to make more margins is to cut costs.

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.

Fersac is possessed by the demon of revenge. They don't think it will be satisfactory, they just think it's what will happen when all is lost.
How does your MC feel about revenge? Is there anybody they want to take out? Do they think it would be satisfactory? #WritingPrompt

The insistence that your fantasy story needs to chart a course for revolution or democracy, and that it is the sole purpose of a protagonist to pursue those things, is a subject I think about a lot and explore heavily in @ratwormgames.bsky.social’s upcoming “the sky left us”
Sometimes protagonists aren't able to fix the world. Sometimes they're not even able to see the problems with it. Sometimes they're just trying to survive. Sometimes they're even part of the problem.
The writer isn't the society and the writer isn't the protagonist.
