Part of being an AI user in creative works is convincing yourself that everyone ELSE uses it too, because otherwise you have to confront the reality that you're a faker and a fraud

yeah man did you hear? the guy casting shadows in plato's allegory of the cave got cancelled for casting problematic shadows. yeah its really fucked up especially given that the shadows cast on the wall of the cave are basically the same thing as real things outside of the cave

We worked real hard and did a huge amount of quality of life stuff (mouse control, text logs), added New Game Plus, and a bunch of extra dialog bits for Demonschool. It's also currently the Steam daily deal at 30% off! Good time to grab it if you haven't.

We were looking at doing a "let's recreate a dialogue presenter from another game" thing, and we got a bit distracted, because we're huge nerds.

Do you ever think about the fact that the designers of General Midi were tasked with coming up with the 128 most important instruments in the world, and one of the answers they came up with was "Goblins"

Max Force, Secret Agent, doesn't let a brief interruption get in the way of their over-dramatic exposition, and gets right back to what they were saying.

Yarn Spinner+ is 50% off on the Unity Asset Store for another 40 hours! Go grab it, help us build the world’s best tools for dialogue, and get some sweet integrations for other popular assets to help make your game! assetstore.unity.com/packages/too...

I'm still eternally thinking about this

We had an amazing time showing off a selection of Yarn Spinner games at the second ever Level Up Tasmania, in our home town of Nipaluna/Hobart! Thanks to the amazing teams behind the games. It was truly difficult to pry people off the 4 devices had rotating between the games! 😍

"bsky users blame every problem on vibe coding" yeah, dude. if you got a dog to code this website i wouldn't be wasting time asking which of you was the source of each new bug

I've been thinking about it. And I think there might only be three types of narrative game 1. Explore the Psyche of Man 2. Stuff Already Happened, And Now You're Here 3. Lesbian Bartender

game narratives are able to ask important questions of humanity and let us live out the consequences. questions like, "what if a man had to hang out with a pre-teen girl" and "what if a pre-teen girl had to rely entirely on a man" and "what if a pre-teen girl had powers, and also, a man was there"

Dinner looks delicious dear but it seems a little... linear. Where are the rogue-like elements that make every new bite interesting and fresh. The re-eatability value here is not very high if I'm being honest

this is an exceptionally pleasing tweet to choose to parse literally

If you enjoyed our April Fools project tarot.yarnspinner.dev you might also enjoy a nice side effect of our making that: a much-improved Public Domain version of the Rider-Waite Smith #tarot deck. I went a bit overboard in photoshop, and now they're here for all to use: themartianlife.com/tarot

After 10 years of offering first-class, complete (we thought) dialogue solutions, we learned we had been missing the most important narrative design tool of all time: Tarot. We're sorry. We're listening, we're learning. And today, we've taken the first step: adding Tarot to Yarn Spinner 💚

When writing branching conversations, make sure that the dialogue that comes off a player choice doesn't contain any words from the options they *didn't* choose.

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

This is the very first game I ever made that actually shipped and was sold for money. I legit never expected to see it running again.

Considering gamedevs work on games more often than they breathe, a more challenging game jam premise would be to explicitly disallow game development for a week. The Literally Anything Else Jam.

my "I ❤️ GATEKEEPING" shirt has people asking questions that they frankly would never even understand the answers to

Tasmania folks! Get on this!!
