One of the best questions to ask as a dev is, "Why are there so many more new users in the game?" A little research brought a huge smile to my face. Thanks to the Apple App Store Editors for giving my game Worldseekers such a kind shoutout!! #indiedev #ios #applegames #appstoregames #gamedev

If it doesn't impact the story, character arcs, or present scene outcomes, don't write it! Silly video: youtube.com/shorts/gYXFN... #prosewriting #writertok #narrativegame #booktok #novels #gamewriting #indiedev #gamedev

Don't restate what's already clear in your #scenes especially through a characters interior thoughts. #writing #mywriters #booksky #writingcommunity

My publisher gave me some free audiobook codes for my novel "The Distributor" if you're open to write a review, dm me, and I'll share a key! #books #scifi #fantasybooks #fantasy #booksky #bookreview #indiewriter

Use details that imply a history in your scene and character descriptions. #screenwriting #storytelling #writergram #writingtips #characterdesign #bookstagram

A regular reminder, friends: don't bomb kids, don't sell kids, don't starve kids. Also, it's generally best practice to not do the same to adults as well even if you really, really don't like them.

Had so much fun playing "March of Giants" that I even wrote a blog post about MOBA game design: www.finalbossediting.com/single-post/... #marchofgiants #leagueoflegends #moba #mobagames #gamedesign #gamereview

Is it a good or a bad thing when someone builds the tech from your post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel in real life?? Should I be happy I predicted the future or scared because it's a POST-APOCALYPTIC BOOK... The book: www.the-distributor.com The new tech: youtu.be/b_EoZzE7KJ0?... #writing

A quick writing tip: connective tissue between scenes is often easy to cut and it helps the story flow better! Video: youtube.com/shorts/d5pjY... #writer #book #writersky #writingtips #writingcommunity

To learn about the frustration games, we made a frustration game called "Time Climb" on Meta Horizon Worlds, and I wrote a post about my thoughts on designing a frustration game. Link to the game is in the post - enjoy: www.finalbossediting.com/single-post/... #gamedesign #gamedev #gamedevtips

Just an intermittent reminder to check out my novels #ebook and #audiobook at the-distributor.com ! If you do give it a read I'd love an honest review! #author #writingcommunity #scifi #fantasywriter

Shape of Dreams review hyper cut: The narrative seemed light, but the art of the game was fun and the mechanics were more unique than I expected with the "Socketing" system. #shapeofdreams #keymailer #gamereview #letsplay #playthrough #tutorial #gameplay #gamedev #indiedev

My best of list in gaming channel3.gg/aboutyou?gam...

In your #screenwriting, #gamewriting, and #fiction beware overuse of interiority or "voice over" equivalents. Here's my example: youtube.com/shorts/SebUy... #storytelling #writing #screenwriting #writingtip

Did a game review, and had a helpful writing tip that applies to all storytelling media: youtube.com/shorts/9iQev... #writingcommunity #indiedev #gamewriting #screenwriting #gamedev #writing

Why do we spend so much time, effort, and resources on Worldseekers? Well, in this clip from a podcast, we talk about why we think Worldseekers is special. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #mobilegame #gpsgame

Hi all, a new edit is on YouTube: youtu.be/TbGBZxcV8cE Talk a lot about building hooks and conflict. #writingcommunity #writing #fiction #editing #amediting #writersky

This is a fantastic comic project from a gifted creator. Any and all who are interested in a solid coming of age read, give this a kickstart!!

Drama is conflict with exposition. Both need to be present for a gripping narrative. #fiction #storytelling #books #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity #authorsky #writingtip

At Worldseekers.io, we've been working like crazy to make the onboarding smoother than ever. Still have a ways to go, but it's encouraging to see progress (even with a small sample size)!!! #gamedevelopment #unitydev #indiegamedev #gpsgame #deckbuilder
