Hey all. I was laid off a few months ago and I'm looking for work. Hit me up if you're looking for a #GameWriter , #narrativeDesigner , or need a freelance fiction author to write lore, do some developmental editing, consulting, or localization.

I have 10 years experience as a creative professional.

Or if you're a fan of my #ChooseYourOwnAdventure / #TextAdventureGame, #OfGhostsAndGods, #donations are much appreciated!! I have exactly $8 left in my budget this month.

Quick Q that will help me assess my consulting opportunities:

Do you ever consider issues that can arise from #colonialism/eurocentrism/androcentrism when crafting game experiences?

If so, I would love to hear how below. Thanks!

#GameDesign #NarrativeDesign #Gamewriter #Gamedev #indiedev

As an experienced game writer, I'm often asked for advice on how to get into #GameDev as a #GameWriter and start a #GameNarrative career. I'm very happy to be able to point to a series of books by Anna Megill that offer advice on how to do just that.

They're great because:
1. Anna is the real deal. She draws on her own experience and consults with many other game professionals.
2. Being lazy, I don't need to write anything myself, I can just point people to her books.

And they're currently 25% off on the Routledge site. Everyone wins!

Quick question:
Are you a completionist when you play a game, or do you race through the game as fast as possible? Or maybe somewhere in between? (Pls comment with specifics.)

I feel like an asshole because I love writing little gameplay lines so my quests balloon when it comes to VO and Mocap content. Oops? #gamedev #GameWriter

Are there any tabletop online groups you are a part of that you feel have been a tremendous boon for you? Wether that is searching for online groups to play games, finding people to bounce ideas off of, or perhaps a good group to chat game design? Feel free to share those groups and what they have done for you.

#lookingforgroup #lfg #player #gm #dm #gamedesign #gamedesigner #gamewriter #worldbuilding #ttrpgcommunity #rpgcommunity #rpg #discord

It's May, and that means Anna Megill's new book "The Game Writing Guide" is out this month! 📚

An approachable way to learn how YOU can get into the industry and pursue your career as a Game Writer.

Congrats Anna!

These days, I'm rising like a phoenix from some sad and detached ashes. I'm realizing that I am allowed to dream, that I can work towards those dreams, and so I'm deciding to do so. I am putting all my heart and effort into becoming a #gamewriter. And it feels damn good.

If you're looking for a #GameWriter for your #indiegames, I am the dude. Seriously, if you have a project on your mind, get back to me. Let's talk. I'm interested in doing this from a fan perspective. Once we get stuff sorted out, we can talk business when the time comes!

Playing #Scriptic Redman episodes at the moment, and I really love the format, the phone interfaces, app clones etc. Bold move to base an entire game on reading - that which we learn is a big no in storytelling (and I mostly agree). But it still works! Maybe it's the familiarity of a phone?

It's buggy, but still recommend if you're on Netflix.

Anyone know of other story driven games like this for iOS? #gamewriter

My GDD for my #StoneAge mystery adventure game is starting to shape up!

Biggest hurdle yet: Finding names for characters that supposedly lived 6000 years ago and had a non-indo-European language.... 😅
