gif that describes you as a writer:

Yup. We’re looking for ANOTHER narrative designer to join our project! Come work on Star Wars!! ✨ www.respawn.com/careers/narr...

I have checked what the Japanese media are saying and there seem to be competing names for the man. Some are going with ゴミ箱伯爵 (Gomibako Hakushaku - Count Trashcan) whilst others are using the katakana that you have for foreign loan-words and opting for ビンフェイス伯爵 (Binfeisu Hakushaku).

This is a phenomenal opportunity to work with an amazing team of dedicated indies! Get your applications in! (heck, if I didn't just get a job, I'd have applied!)

Launching a new website about video games today. Meet @respec.net. A sibling to @rpgsite.net, a spiritual successor to VG247, & a brother from another mother to other 100% independent UK media brands like @videogameschronicle.com and @trueachievements.com. www.respec.net/feature/87-w...

Very helpful Nintendo. #starfox #gaming #advice

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.

This is blowing up with creative, interesting games. If you see this, please take a moment to look through and wishlist any that pop for you. Finding an audience is hard at the best of times, but weirdos and freaks like us need you more than ever. Go look at these games (And also Vampirium: 1997)

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

We are thrilled to share that we have bundled The Séance of Blake Manor with folk horror narrative-driven adventure The Excavation of Hob's Barrow. Read all the details and buy the bundle: https://bit.ly/3SEvIqK

Another thing to check is localization. Even if you're not planning to localize your game's title check your EN name isn't accidentally slang or a homophone for something in your main markets. Both made up and real words are a trap/risk. This happens more than you'd expect.

A bit of good news in the middle of all the bloodbath today: Supercell has announced a Grants program for game development studios across Africa with equity-free grants of USD $20,000–$200,000 to help them reach their next stage of growth. supercell.com/en/news/deve...

Would you like to come and work with me? Of course you would! Full time, 40 hours/week Based in our Nottingham design studio Hybrid working, expectation of minimum 3 days a week in the studio £29,000-32,000 per annum (depending on experience) modiphius.net/pages/jobs

Happy 4th of July Independence Day!

I wasn't paying attention and it turns out Nirvanna the band the show the movie is out in the UK.

I originally created this image as part of narratively-connected series and called it "The Summoning", but instead of pulling dead gods from the Astral Sea, I think it's really about the joy and pain of the creative process, which we all feel.

Still looking for more awesome people to interview whilst I'm out at Develop Brighton Tell me why you are there? What you have learned? And your hopes for the coming year! You know you want to!! https://f.mtr.cool/ohdbajnkml

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

now that it’s been over a decade: I was one of the people who helped that silly marketing activation for Madden come to fruition it was VERY popular but the leadership at the time wasn’t wild about how much they thought the banned words list needed to be updated (mostly about politicians)

Graphic design is my passion.

Casting stuff reminds me that not booking is rarely a comment on your talent, almost everyone will be brilliant, they just picked someone more “right” for the role. And that following instructions and being professional means you’re more likely to be invited to the next thing they cast.

Students at Nottingham Trent University are working with @chronicinsanity.bsky.social on a survey of jubensha awareness in the UK, please fill it out if you can!

Woah! Very rare narrative design assistant role go get it!

Midweek repost, some of these roles will be closing soon, so please act soon, if you're interested! BATTLEFIELD NARRATIVE OPPORTUNITIES Reposts welcome.

Make stuff.

Here's the first video of the new fun little series I'm doing: DRAMATIC SCORES FOR ORDINARY THINGS

Prime Day who? Sorry, I'm too busy supporting my independent bookshop 😍⁠ Through the 26th, take 35% off all sale audiobooks (yep) with code BIGIMPACT at checkout. Every purchase benefits your indie bookshop of choice. Thanks for supporting them today and every day 💗

There is no such thing as a fake choice. There are only unengaging choices. Systemic effects don’t guarantee engagement any more than emotional content does; equally a Yes / Also yes-style choice can be engaging, in the right context. You want good choices? Great. Make them good.

Here's a rare one: we're hiring a News Editor at Eurogamer! The role is hybrid in London, though there can be some wiggle room on this for a worldie of a candidate. We're after someone who can not only proof, but understand how to push a story forwards originally. www.eurogamer.net/eurogamer-is...

I put off buying a new fan until payday and now the fan prices have all shot up.

I cannot overstate how big a deal Ultima was for gaming. It shaped the medium. It also shaped me.

NarraScope 2026 talks are online, free to view, in record time! Here's the playlist, starting with the second keynote speech from @sharangbiswas.bsky.social. The other keynote was given by @meredithgran.com. I'll add thoughts on my favorite talks after I get a chance to view the ones I missed.

i worked at the last mall bookstore in my area from 2003-2004. i’d repack reagan biographies & send them back as damaged. no one ever bought anything from my staff rec endcap but sometimes they’d read jackets & look confused. i only sold davinci code, 5 people you meet in heaven, & lovely bones.

Lots of people asking how we made Over the Alps: The Devil's Quill. Also asking why we made it, which is fair enough! So! A brief thread about how I finished off a game I started back in 2013. 🧵 #gamedev

I'm in love with the opening for "Tiempos Hibridos", a Mexican indie animated series project by Beto Irigoyen. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcIP...
