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.

By the way narrative is a swearword again. You must get back to saying adventure

I'm literally discovering some games are narrative games by speaking to the devs. Sheesh. Marketing, right?

A part of me, the bigger one, doesn't want to know. But a smaller, darker part of me is curious.

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.

Would you play this?

Sol's Atelier - Elfie: A Sand Plan @ Steam Next Fest @solsatelier.bsky.social · 1d

The amount of AI slop capsules I've been subjected to while looking through Steam Next Fest is insane.

The bare minimum would be to have a filter to hide games that have disclosed having AI generated content.

Sure the new games are good but when are we going to see a decent remake of Silent Hill: Downhill X-Treme?

What did I miss in Metal Hellsinger? Probably a proper minigun. With the timed reloading sequence, it could have been a proper double kick gun. Omg I'm so sad we will never see it happen

That's what they say, and it's not the first game they make on GZDoom, I tried Vomitoreum and it really really feels like Doom so no reason to doubt

In the las episode of Daryl Dixon, Daryl Dixon wields a sawed off Winchester. What a bliss, doom slayers. What a bliss.

Sometimes I think about how art on shields was like, they show off to their ennemy just enough so they can go "dayum nice oc" and then they slay each other because y'know, life

This could be the first time a game I worked on won a price 🤔

Yknow what. I think Peacemaker S2 is about the toxicity of having everything your way, even if you know it's not real. How it actually destroys your ego. To death.

Fucking: Chatgpt, man

GREAT. WRITING.

I think this when I see the "Michael Kirkbride was on mushroom when he wrote the 36 lessons of Vivec" joke for the 5706th time. It was funny the first time, okay, mushrooms, get it. But eventually it hides the true story. School, inspirations, conversations, death march, layoff before release, etc.

I've always hated the "They must have been on drugs when they made this" response to any kind of weird or unusual art.

But there's a new phrase I hate more. "Where's the Sora watermark? This can't be real!"

It's the worst way to erase human creativity and weirdness.
