Hi! I’m Rowan, Lead Narrative Designer @sprocketgames.bsky.social. In the past I’ve worked at Riot, Telltale, Obsidian, Square Enix, and Blizzard.
I’m an advocate for EDI in games and a big ol’ nerd. Games - and devs - rock.
I love dessert, crafting, coffee, cats, and you. 🖤

Absolutely worth having for free, incredible game
Cool free stuff alert: They're giving away the base version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 this weekend.
Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse.
There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

I am ???% into a project that requires me to wade through AI slop to make it readable, and let me say with absolute certainty: I will *never* take on this kind of work again. It is exhausting and frustrating and so, so demeaning.

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

Now it’s just one week! Consume will come out on October 30th, and you can be equal parts disgusted, intrigued, and terrified.
Two weeks ‘til Consume, my twine horror short, comes out. In it, you play a monster who puts out an ad looking for someone who consents to being eaten.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.

I thought AI was supposed to make games faster than usual dev time. It’s been at least a year. Where they at? Where are the critically acclaimed, fully AI-powered games? Show them to me. Bring them forth. Let us see.

Hello, dear friends. In a month’s time, I’ll be releasing my very first twine game, Consume. It’s gory, it’s horny, and it’s fraught - just the way you like it.

i like how you can see the person that made this was full of spite but the message is genuine and pure so instead of the guy looking like an annoying loser he just ended up looking like a chill unc giving good advises

I’m still looking for work, despite *gestures broadly* so if you have need of a writer or narrative designer or weird druid who lives in the back part of your property’s acreage, please lmk!

What if the magic of older games was just the disorganized nature of game studios of the past and a more pliable, less oversaturated market? 😭

Thinking back on the Cinderella Christmas Panto where Cinderella lamented to her mouse finger puppet, “my sisters are so mean! What should I do?” And someone in the front row said in a squeaky voice, “poison them!”
