I'm now open to work and looking for my next role as a Writer or Game Designer in games, now that my contract has ended.

I have worked on the award-nominated Civilization VII, and have many other indie and AA projects where I was responsible for content, systems and production.

I'm also looking for work and use my very own Anna Intelligence that's in my mushy meaty brain for programming, design, and art! No AI here, just organic, free-range homegrown nonsense

words cannot express how excited I am about Dana's book, and I don't know if any of us are ready for it. what a brilliant writer omg
Hi. I'm Dana and this is the first four pages of my work-in-progress novel, Flight of the Independent Omnivessel Exocoetus.

It's sci-fi, queer, and an unapologetic mix-tape of so many things I've thought were cool since I was a kid, and still do.

re: @igda.org emails, I received this communication earlier.

It seems to be for anyone who has signed up for a SIG, and not exclusive to a specific community.

A reminder that my free deduction/horror/parser game KINOPHOBIA is now available in its final, more polished version. Explore a haunted movie studio; research its history; identify the wretched souls trapped by a curse inscribed in celluloid.

Just as a reminder, I'm still looking for work!

I have 5+ years of experience in the video game industry, and if you saw @civilization.2k.com on the TGA, that's one of the projects I worked on.

Since then, I have worked on various games on UE, Unity, Godot, Ren'Py as a narrative designer :3 #LFW

It's been one year since @smallloanstudio.bsky.social launched The Ouroboros Express!

This is a game I created the concept for and directed originally as a game jam and later as a Steam release with a team of 40++ incredible game devs. (We rotated members between the game jam and Steam release).

An award to @hazelmonforton.com for keeping people asking "okay, but what are we doing for the sickos?"

An award to @shadesogrey.bsky.social for making players cry.

An award to @sarahcotner.bsky.social for sheer levels of design gremlin and chaos.
Gamedevs don’t get enough appreciation for what they do, and often the biggest impact comes from people the public never hears about.

Which gamedevs would YOU give an award to, and for what?

@designjunkie010.bsky.social definitely, and everyone that is behind organizing and updating documentation. Managing information to keep different teams and disciplines up to date is so critical, also Jessica's a wonderful person.

I really wish other people got to see how good @nellraban.com is at designing and implementing systems (narrative and otherwise). a lot of work that’s easy to overlook just because of how the industry’s been over the last 5 years but it’s true.
