Does anyone know what's up with the Nirvanna the band movie in the UK? I see there's a showing at a Glasgow film fest but not much else apart from a vague mention of a London showing.

I'm running a game of Traveller and I'll be blogging about it: blog.enceledean.com/running-trav...

I Write Games Not Tragedies - a narrative-rhythm game about British emo/goth subcultures from the early 2000s, with original music - has launched on itchio today. (Support it on itchio)

Reposting this again in case it helps some people. Do it if you can! It doesn’t hurt for more than a few seconds, and you might save some kid’s life.

Another tool! Ink Explorer. Visualises the shape of an Ink story and lets you play through from any point, watching variables (and tweaking them), keeping track of visit counts, and letting you snapshot and restore the state. Early days - hope it's useful to someone! medium.com/@wildwinter/...

Shout out to all the AMV editors or animation creators that struggled hours for micro seconds of footage trying to make audio match the lip movements only to have to watch garbage Ai produced national commercials that don’t even seem to try. It sucks man.

Hey designers, reach out to Ascot! Paid gig! He’s is a joy to work with and we made such a fun little kaiju comic. Give her a nice title! 🦖💥

Holy, and in fact, moley. Babylon 5 is the greatest product of the 90s scifi boom because even when it fails, its aim was stratospheric.

Get the heck on this folks if you haven't seen it before. Classic.

This is hilariously/depressingly true so very, very often. Studios running on big investment money can't afford to keep a 3v3 multiplayer game going, but fans now run Age Of Empires Online (now on its second or third community-made expansion) on a smattering of Patreon donations a month.

Matt Braly has shared never-before-seen development artwork from his canceled feature film at Sony Pictures Animation. The project centered on a young boy who embarks on an emotional journey into a fantastical realm of Thai spirits, hoping to find a cure for his illness.

The narrative designer equivalent of tidying your house to avoid chores is installing every tool you can find.

Worth writers telling their colleagues about @gameworkers.co.uk to push to unionise the entire industry.

UK game writer/nds we have a union! The WGGB provided invaluable support when I was made redundant. A rep was in all my meetings and briefed me before and after. While everything was above board in my case, I did not have to go through it alone. As a freelancer, they vet my contracts.

This is a tool in beta atm that narrative designers might want to have a play with. It has English support, which lets you write in a spreadsheet-esque way and export to Ink, Unreal etc. It's still in test atm, but do take a look. It lets you write collaboratively, which isn't always easy in Ink.

I've been enjoying doing "Narrative Design Coffee Talks" - small one-off consultations and commissions for small and solo indie devs. It's really fun working across different genres and styles, and the work has been so varied. I'm writing everything from Steam pages to a full documentation overhaul.

Picked up the Steam Deck again and more e-mails. Going to lift that thing like I'm weight lifting next time I am waiting to hear back on something.
