PR, marketing, narrative in games. For hire. Former game journalist (possibly relapsing). I do stuff for BitSummit and IGF. Geek and expensive-whiskey-wanter. My opinions are my own.

First pottery class done! Never done this before but I really enjoyed it and my instructor was impressed by my first attempts. I picked it up pretty quickly and made what I wanted (a yunomi 湯のみ) after my third attempt. It was then cut in half to better understand the process 😅
Men, who blame everyone (including and primarily women for their problems) should absolutely be weeded out of the gene pool.
📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.
Two top podcasters have identified a global decline. The problem, they say, is women

Started a more weekly open workshop at my #pottery place, giving me free rein to work on practically anything.
While I was only trimming my sake bottles today, I was snuggled away in my own corner for 3 1/2 hours to do my thing. Loved it!

This is an absolutely perfect game. To just call it a “visual novel” undersells the amount and quality of writing in this game, not to mention the complexity.
I’m personally not one for these kinds of games, but I adore this and it has left an impactful mark on me.
1,000,000 sales well deserved.

Thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess has officially surpassed one million units sold!
When we started work on it, we couldn't imagine a visual novel would be able to hit such a milestone let alone being backed by critical acclaim. And yet, here we are. We couldn't have done this without you.

Nothing locks my ADHD brain in with a dopamine reward more than making a new #MagicTheGathering Commander deck.
Very pleased with how this Elf deck turned out.

Still thinking about @thegamebakers.com Cairn tbh.
The game seems vital right now. Not only has it hit 100K sales in one day for the indie team, it’s also immensely soothing, methodical and cathartic.
When life is shit, throw yourself at that mountain and claw yourself up it.

If you have any work going for an amazing animator along with a handful of additional devs, please check out Aura’s thread!
Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:
While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

These fraught times call for a show with what is either an intentionally or unintentionally hilarious title, and which I will be talking about for the rest of the year

Kodansha announced they released all 26 episodes of Mushishi Season 1 to watch for free on their Youtube Channel
