Layoffs always suck but to see people I’ve looked up to for years - who wrote, animated, edited, and brought to life so many stories and characters I love - hurts.
BioWare devs, thank you for bringing wonder, compassion, intrigue, and magic to millions of fans, me included. We’re all in your corner

In case you missed this yesterday - this project is incredibly important and dear to me. The developer, @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social, is potentially in danger for insisting on making this game, but he refuses to back down because backing down would mean not telling this story.
I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

CHARACTERS - Day Eight: Dorian
Now this is a fun one. It's no big secret I have a lot of feelings about Dorian, not least of which because he was my first (and only) gay male companion. There's a lot more to him than that, of course (as there should be), and it was quite a trip. So let's go!

OK, I caved to peer pressure! I made it here!
I'm Lydia, I've been writing & designing for games for 6+ years (my biggest project to date being Dead Island 2 🧟♀️). Looking forward to watching on with awe/horror as this community is painfully re-birthed away from The Site We Shall Not Name!!
