Since there's a bunch of new folks, heyo~ I'm Domini, aka Sleepy. I'm a writer/narrative designer. Thing I've worked on include Camera Anima (point-and-click #visual novel with a soul-stealing robot) and Tips from Your Barista, a creepy coffee shop CYOA.

I also like steampunk, tea, and bunnies

okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio
would anyone who works in or adjacent to game testing/QA be willing to answer a couple questions for me? off the record, not to be quoted - just need some background info on automations to know whether a scenario someone described in a talk is common or unusual.

From The Reader’s Digest Folklore, Myths & Legends of Britain. The lanes around Longridge in Lancashire were haunted by the Headless Woman. A malicious, boggart, from behind she looked like an old lady, but she would turn around & pursue travellers carrying her head in a basket.

This is a good post about its specific subject and a great post about how to do anything cool on game production deadlines without having it get cut (being very intentional about where you drop the quality bar)
Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.
