GIANT SPOILERS FOR OLD SKIES FROM THE BEGINNING!

Six months after launch, I feel like it's safe to start sharing more spoilery stuff- anyone who's played knows that's basically... the whole game.

Here's a little montage of some of my favourite acting moments playing Fia Quinn in Old Skies:

Hey! If you’ve ever liked my voice, now, before the end of the year, would be a really good time to hire me for any SAG-approved projects!

Asking as someone who loves VO, and also really loves having halfway decent health insurance

This week we are talking gays in space (Metroid Prime 4) and gays in time (more Old Skies) and then Willa and Robin pick what games to exchange for the end of year season because the Girlies will be here before you know it!

Give The Séance of Blake Manor some votes if any category sits right with you.
Nominations are open for the Thinky Awards. We thought we'd mention this as we released a few thinky games this year @blueprincegame.bsky.social , @blakemanorgame.bsky.social, Post Trauma & @kathyrain2.bsky.social that would be perfect for nominating, just saying...

So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through.

Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Yesterday we released a Séance of Blake Manor digital artbook full of concept art & behind the scenes tidbits as part of the new Deluxe Edition.

It was a lot of fun trawling back through old files and rediscovering so much old art for the book. Check it out!

Probably my favourite line of game writing last year was for my own jam game:
You catch a fairy in a net, and in a Scottish accent she yells:

“Don’t eat me! You’ll be spitting glitter for days!”

Great job on the VA @naomimiller.bsky.social

Thank you to everyone who’s been in touch to congratulate me about being a BAFTA Breakthrough- I’m genuinely overwhelmed by how much good will I have in the industry!
I‘ve worked hard not just on my own career, but to be a true member of the community- it’s really touching that it’s been noticed!

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨

You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.

This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

This is the thing I keep trying to get through to people. Authorial meaning and intention is the fundamental underlying structure of writing, not “a world full of people who can say anything”. We live in a world full of people who can say anything! That’s not what we’re trying to achieve here!

Just finished @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social's Old Skies 👌🏻

"Time travel stories are usually not my favourite, but this game handled the whole timey-wimey shenanigans very nicely, and even made me THINK (!) about the [...] implications of time travel. The gall!!"

One indie game per day (when I don't forget): Old Skies (www.oldskiesgame.com). This deserved recognition in last year's IGF and didn't get it, they resubmitted so I'm gonna plug them again. Probably my favorite from Wadjet Eye, a graphical adventure about time-travel tourism.

I'd like to thank gmail for changing a thoughtful application for a writing job as I was writing it- apparently it felt very strongly that I use dialogue to give *explosion* not exposition.
Caught it in time, but blimey that's a different skillset.

Absolutely love that one of the intros to my interviews is like “they make awards…for *games*…would you believe???????”

Babes it’s a bigger industry than film, I don’t know why we’re still doing this.
