I love a good epilogue, so I always enjoy writing end slides ❤️ Some of my favorites from recent memory. The player selling their body to Elia might be the most off the beaten path one in the game, since it's extremely weird and not associated with a quest 💀. We also got some wonderful art for these.

First trailer for Coyote vs. ACME, starring John Cena, Lana Condor, and Will Forte. The Looney Tunes movie is in theaters on August 28.

*Taps the sign*

To put it gently, I have doubts that anyone can write a story that is wholly divorced from the hopes, fears, influences, and context of its creator. And to put it less gently, I wouldn't want to read such a story. This is either a failure of introspection or a willful delusion, choose your poison.

I made a MYST-inspired sourdough, and now Sirrus keeps asking me for more bread pages.

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Never expected to see fan art for my charming tea merchant who is out of tea ☺️☕️ Outstanding, @mukuuji.bsky.social! Maybe he’ll get some tea now, as a treat.

This entire piece is spectacular, but this bit is a little grenade

Reanimal is gorgeous so far ❤️ The environment has this oppressive WWI era vibe in addition to the weird animal shit happening everywhere. Genuinely fun couch co-op horror with lots of spooky surprises. 🐑

Apparently I DO have five hours to kill, and my attention span is just fine 😅 This was a really fun watch. It’s rewarding to see someone dissect a project so thoughtfully. Feeling prouder than ever to have written some good words over the last ten years.

John Carpenter’s underrated IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS was released on this day in 1995 #filmsky #horror

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

I love getting to just sit with my friends and talk all of the shop. Thanks @jesawyer.bsky.social! 🥰 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlMw...

Happy almost Halloween 🎃❤️

Amazon's official statement quoted in this article is incoherent word salad, and I hope they choke on their beloved AI.

During the last year of collaboration I've been so impressed by the sequel's Narrative team and the devotion to their work and characters. They genuinely care about what they're doing, and that care is present and significant in all of their writing and design. Cheers and well-done 🥂

Many congratulations to my friends on Outer Worlds 2 who I watched toil from afar. Shout out in particular to the narrative designers who kicked ass: @kdlunas.bsky.social @joefielder.bsky.social @hayleystone.bsky.social @bustedkeyboards.bsky.social @gspy.bsky.social @paulkirsch.bsky.social

Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire is the snowglobe that will roll out of my hands at the moment of my death.

Hilariously my first ending was the "shoot the hologram child" ending, which is probably the worst outcome. But in retrospect I do see it as the "I reject this entire premise" ending.

1/ Things I really love about Silent Hill f, a thread. No spoilers. A LOT of early game conversations only make sense on subsequent playthroughs once you get what's going on. The confidence to do that with players is inspiring.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

I've now been a full-time Narrative Designer for ten years 😊 Every project is still full of unique challenges that force me to learn and adapt. But a few ideas I picked up along the way remain constant:

Well said!!

"Writing is like religion. You go there to pray, you don't work at the church." My mentor was gently steering me away from writing as a career. I still think about it often, and my interpretation of following that advice is to be a very different kind of writer in my personal vs. professional time.

I thought I'd share some screenshots from The Prisoner, one of the best shows ever made. (1/3) popheist.com/category/tv/...

Just finished the demo of Last Report and immediately installed the full game. Similar vibe as Papers, Please and Firewatch. Cozy, oppressive, pixelated. Stay spooky 🔦🌳 store.steampowered.com/app/3209480/...

Carl Sagan on why books are human’s greatest invention:

This book looks fabulous, and it needs pledges to help it across the finish line ❤️ I'm doing my part! Three days remain.

Describe your favorite movie in the most misleading way possible: Gentlemen yearn for each other away from the prying eyes of civilization.

Tyranny mentioned ❤️ I still remember the first time I heard the main theme. I dropped my coffee cup and stared off into the middle distance like the end of The Usual Suspects.

Alan Wake makes me grateful for the medium. It's like a tech demo showing how one's dark creative impulses and joyful sense of humor can occupy the same story simultaneously. Aspirational. Happy 15 years, @remedygames.com!

🍃 Happy Mother’s Day 🍃

1000xRESIST was an outstanding surprise. What a thoughtful game told in such an unexpected way. Finishing it left me with the same emotional wreckage of having reached the end of a great novel. Best of all, it makes me want to write. 10/10.

*returning my shopping cart, somberly* For those who come after.

My expectations for Expedition 33: This accursed land has evolved specifically to kill humans. Time is running out. Compromise everything. Say farewell to your friends. Reality: ✨Bonjour, mon ami. Have you seen my lucky stone? I sell fashionable outfits in exchange for good vibes. Au revoir! 10/10

Really enjoyed Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. Life is Strange nostalgia with a sprinkling of IT and The Craft. Fascinated to see all the possible (at times bonkers) alternate approaches to the ending, and how my choices were often in the minority of global stats. What a vibe! 🎥🦌🦋

Decipher the spiritual world with us—Weaver and animancer. Huge congratulations to our friends at @compulsiongames.bsky.social on the launch of South of Midnight!

Cursed reactivity 💀❤️ I could write about these two morbid goofballs forever.

One of my favorite Giatta lines, and I’m forever grateful that the timing and performance lined up so nicely ☺️

We marathoned South of Midnight all weekend ❤️🐊 This was a gorgeous and well-told story, and I was happy to spot Avowed veteran Debra Cardona in the voiceover cast. Don’t miss this one ✨🕷️✨

🎺🥂❤️ Giatta Castell fan fiction found in the wild! ❤️🥂🎺 Today is a great day for Giatta fans, and therefore the world. archiveofourown.org/works/64211119

Next Thursday I’ll be back at the GDC podium with badass narrative designer and friend @katedollarhyde.bsky.social to talk shop about companions. Join us! In the meantime, here are some companions we love…

the lads are no match for Yatzli 😘 #Avowed #Obsidian

Hello! My GDC talk, Justifying Absurd Expenditures on Fonts and Other Silly Features, will be on Friday, March 21st, 10:00-11:00am, Room 2002, West Hall. I'll discuss the development of font features for Pentiment and how to make all your dreams come true. Wow! schedule.gdconf.com/session/just...

Split Fiction is unbelievably good so far ❤️ It Takes Two raised the bar for fun gameplay and surprises, and Split Fiction is building on that well-executed foundation. I can’t say enough about these games.

Don't buy shit, write your book
