Approaching one year of unemployment is terrifying and bills need to be paid. A year of pitching The Arab League of Misfits yielded zero funding so far, and competing with 45K laid-off devs is bleak. I urgently need freelance or full-time remote roles www.linkedin.com/posts/nazihf...

Honored to have been a part of the narrative jury for BAFTA this year. It’s been a joy thoroughly going through the excellent nominees and discussing them with the rest of the jury - so many wonderful insights were shared. And congrats to winner Kingdom Come Deliverance II!

Excited to start getting this in the mail. Have a look and back this too, if you’re interested in reimagined stories and tangible narrative art!

Plum Road Tea Dream is a Finalist for the IGF Nuovo Award 🥰 Honored to stand among such an inspiring line-up. Huge love and gratitude to our incredible team and everyone who contributed!

I know I’ve mentioned both of these games before but this is a good reason to do so again. Perfect combination to buy. Two of the best current story driven indie games and a must play for anyone interested in smart emotional interactive storytelling. Must buy!

Crossing my fingers for a Vella Lovell surprise appearance.

Beautiful work by Zachery C. Longboy yesterday evening at the opening of Signals (digital media exhibit) in Vancouver.

Saw Taylor Tomlinson yesterday during her ‘Save Me’ tour. Smart, funny and original, focusing on religious upbringing and other family issues. Highly recommend to see live (not just on Netflix). Opening act Dustin Nickerson was lovely, too.

Got some new books. @bitmapbooks.com @imagecomics.com

Sometimes, Vancouver is just beautiful.

On my way to Vancouver for two more days of doing shows at the Fringe, and annoyed that the internet connection on the ferry isn’t strong enough to watch the Fire Emblem announcement trailer…

Forgot to mention my PAX highlights! I’m excited for Rollergirl, Birdseed VR (by local team Buffalo Buffalo) and Veil of the Witch. Played Kirby Air Riders demo but didn’t click with me. Also, not on PAX but do check out The Midnight Barber (not out yet) from a super talented small Spanish team.

First shows of ‘the Song Collector’ tonight at Vancouver Fringe were nerve wrecking but wonderful. It was great to see people who never met before bond over music. Connections like that are essential right now.

I love looking for set dress pieces in thriftshops.

Feeling like a proper Canadian (BC) artist after being interviewed by CBC Radio NXNW!

At PAX today

If you don't get a ticket for this, blame yourself!

Trust me, ypu don’t want to miss this.

We had an owl in the garden that was thoroughly investigated by Animal Crossing’s resident owl Blathers as well.

I'm reading all the way through CRIMINAL for a thing, and no-one has mentioned this, but CRIMINAL really is good comics. I'm breaking this news. It's time folks knew.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

Time to catch up on some reading.

Y'all could we please stop fucking using ChatGPT just to prove how bad ChatGPT is? Like.... C'mon.

Let Laura bring some seasonal joy in your life - it’s a lot of fun! Also if you sign up now you’ll probably have forgotten all about it come October and it’ll be an extra nice surprise when the emails start coming in.

In LA for The Next Stage @immersiveexperience.org. Two years ago I attended the first edition on a scholarship, which propelled my work and introduced me to so many amazing other people in the immersive realm. Glad to be back and hopefully pay it forward - plase come say hi if you’re here too!

This year’s SD Comic Con was filled with a sense of community, love and support. Very inspired by Alison Bechdel humorously talking about navigating our current society, and George Lucas and Guillermo del Toro passionately sharing the importance of narrative art. Can’t wait until their museum opens.

I’ve highly enjoyed playing this, can recommend.

We’re doing live VR Mary Shelley Lives Here during the FIVARS festival on July 4th (8pm CET) and 6th (5pm PST). Available for anyone at home via VRChat. More info and tickets (for the full FIVARS VR showcase until July 19th) here: fivars.net/spotlight/fi...

I played a recent testbuild of Plum Road Tea Dream this week - a truly intriguing work! It’ll be a while before it’s done but you’ll want to wishlist this already, trust me.

FIVARS online opens June 29th. Find tickets at bit.ly/fivars2025tix #xr #webxr #ar #festivals #immersive

Very excited that my live VR experience ‘Mary Shelley Lives Here’ will be part of the @fivars.bsky.social festival! No exact dates and times available just of yet but just buy a ticket for FIVARS in any case as there are so many exciting VR experiences selected, you can’t go wrong.

Very proud that VR experience Trailblazer, for which I did some writing and narrative design, has been selected for Cannes. Congrats to the team at Singer Studios! Trailblazer, which is about Bertha Benz’ unique first car trip, will be available commercially soon on Quest as well.

If you haven’t looked into this game yet, do it now. It hooks you in slowly and stays with you for a long time after playing.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

Aaron’s ‘50 years of text games’ is an amazing book that anyone interested in interactive storytelling should read, so definitely get it now!

Switched around some of my comics on the wall of my workspace for new inspiration. Featuring the work of some of my favoriete women in comics; Jen Bartel, Jenny Frison, Nicola Scott, Kelly Thompson and Kelly Sue DeConnick. Plus bonus Magic Cards by Jen Bartel.

Happy I got to catch the Keith Haring exhibit at MoPop before closing. His ideas on how art should be in as many places as possible really resonate, especially now.

I’m a bit behind on my comic reading, but looking forward to catching up with these.

Finally watched ‘I saw the tv glow’ and it’s beautiful and haunting. See it, if you haven’t yet, especially now.

I highly recommend Liz! Her work is beautiful and she’s great to work with. Give her a follow and do reach out to her if her style interests you, you won’t regret it.

My new Carrie 4K blu-ray arrived today. It includes a load of extras and I love the new artwork by Laz Marquez. Got it via Rough Cut Video - highly recommended if you’re in Canada looking for cult cinema and special editions.

If you’re looking for an indie Christmas movie, I highly recommend Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point (amc+ or via Apple/Prime or in theatres in US). Funny and poignant, a true mosaique film with a great visual style. Don’t expect a traditional plot but just watch life unfold.

Wonderful holiday atmosphere in this already impressive piece. Enjoyed it a lot today - highly recommend grabbing a ticket while they’re still available.

Love it when a game casually acknowledges another game. This, by the way, is Spilled Mushrooms on the Playdate. Smart little puzzler that kept me playing for hours.

I can’t wait for this one. Citizen Sleeper was such a wonderful game - if you don’t know it, check it out before 2 arrives. I know it’s not for everyone due to its specific genre and style, but if you are into evocative sci-fi storytelling combined with smart, effective game design, this is for you.
