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:

Oh, how I loved it! Mystery, ghosts, intrigue, secrets!

3. Old Skies

It starts as a clever adventure across time. It becomes a whole lot more.

I don't know who needs to hear this but "funny" negative Steam reviews hurt developers.

It's not good y'all.

This mask is called the Stealth Clarity FFP3 for anyone wanting to follow suit.
It meant everyone, included D/deaf & hard of hearing people, those audio processing issues, and really anyone in a noisy environment could still chat to me!

So far I’ve avoided all Con Crud illnesses.

I was once in a pilot web series, struggling what I was doing in the scene. The director said “it’s just filler dialogue, like in The Office”.
They’d got funded to make the thing, but failed to realise that no dialogue is filler, ever!
i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder

And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

Actor Sally Beaumont was selected as a BAFTA Breakthrough for her role as the time traveller Fia in Old Skies. "A lot of people say, 'You speak like you're about a hundred years old'," she says. "I'm very good at playing historical ladies and immortal gods."

We're thrilled to see The Séance of Blake Manor listed at number 6 on the AP's list of 2025's top video games! 🤩

It "digs deep into Irish folklore and history, adding an urgent element of class struggle to a very effective ghost story."

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

The marvellous Sally Beaumont, everyone 👏

So talented, so much fun to work with and so supportive of others’ work in narrative games. Really excellent news.
I'm a BAFTA Breakthrough 2025!

I'm honoured to be amongst such an incredible cohort, and for BAFTA to recognise my work on Old Skies!

As a disabled, female, performer-writer in games, I am so proud to show what we can do, and with BAFTA's support the sky's the limit!

Je pense que mon jeu de 2025 est le Point'n Click Old Skies (en plus, j'essaye de privilégier les jeux nouveaux aux portages et aux remakes), mais le remake de Trails in the Sky fait clairement partie des jeux qui m'auront marquée cette année, tant j'ai apprécié de rejouer à cet épisode 🙂.

Having worked with the superb @sallybeaumont.bsky.social on Occlude and KOTC trailers and recently meeting @stanwixbuster.co.uk then been genuinely emotionally crushed by his work, I'm extremely proud and happy for both of them for this - Well deserved you two.

"I don't know if I've made it, but it definitely feels like a big step. And just the way that BAFTA has taken care of me… I'm a disabled person, and the care that they took over my access, over COVID precautions, it really brought home to me that they really value me. They're not tolerating me."

Narrative design is seen as "expendable" because it's not "top-level game design", says BAFTA Breakthrough participant Cara Ellison. But narrative is "the thing that actually keeps people picking the controller back up."
