Re-posting this for anyone who hasn't seen it! #opencastingcall for any #voiceactor who appreciates the humor and vibes of Shrek and Fable mashed into one indie game!

More #voiceover #casting is going on over @hipflask.games ! We're adding several roles to our game, which is over 30k Wishlists on Steam and growing strong! This is an #opencastingcall so feel free to share it around! Deadline is October 10. drive.google.com/file/d/1nkK4...

The hard thing about working in VO is i can't ignore the need for a pop filter in any form of media. @secnetwork.bsky.social please 🙏 We need those plosives fixed

Vaccines do not cause autism.

Wooo! A big thanks to everyone who's discovered our game, whether on socials, or thanks to Matt & Laura & IGN, or word of mouth - we can't wait to bring this game to your PC (and to see what you all do with your stories!!) 🥳 #BFAA #hipflaskgames #indiegamedev #indiegame #fantasyrpg #wishlistonsteam

Here to reinforce that, as our Casting & VO Producer, The Bureau of Fantastical and Arcane Affairs has over 35 voice actors, many voicing multiple characters across our 100+ character game. We at @hipflask.games ARE not out here replacing real creatives with AI and WILL not. #BFAA #indiegamedev

Here's a link to the trailer for you lovely folks. Thank you to @futuregamesshow.bsky.social for having us :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP3P...

MATT MERCER JUST SAID OUR GAME IS FOR THE CRITTERS

Omg, @hipflask.games's Bureau of Fantastical and Arcane Affairs was also featured on Games Radar?? What an exciting day for our team!!! Check out the trailer and more info through this link: www.gamesradar.com/games/advent...

In the words of Matt Mercer himself: "This game is for the Critters." 🥳🥳🔥 Wishlist The Bureau of Fantastical and Arcane Affairs on Steam!! #bfaa #hipflaskgames #indiedev #futuregamesshow #critters #criticalrole #rpg #videogame #comingsoon

The amount of money I would spend if Naughty Dog remastered the Jak & Daxter games. Or ported them to a Steam release. Or put out a new one. (Please 😭)

Check out BFAA at the Future Games Show on June 7! (And hooray for getting our VO into the game to test!) The team is making great progress! #futuregamesshow #indiegamedev #fantasygame #bfaa #hipflaskgames #indiegame #comingsoon #gamedevupdates

The thing about enjoying audiobooks is the risk of being pulled out of the story because you're wondering if a pronunciation problem or grammar oops is something written in - or if nobody gave the narrator the info they needed to get something right.

Everyone should be jealous that @kidsalegend.bsky.social's first time seeing Pride & Prejudice is on the big screen.

I can't emphasize how awesome it has been to finally bring #Toontown plushies to the whole community with Makeship! This has been a dream of ours for many years now, and we're beyond excited to partner with Child's Play Charity to do it all for a good cause.

Only a couple of days left for our open voiceover casting call! The Bureau of Fantastical and Arcane Affairs needs YOU! We're a passionate volunteer video game development team looking to make funny and fun content that's free to play. No experience needed, just a good mic and a lot of heart!

Hey #voiceactor! Looking for an open casting call opportunity? We have a week left before this one closes!

Hi there, tabletop RPG designers! I'm opening up the first Bannerless Games Tabletop RPG Grant. I'm looking to award up to 5 designers $250 to help create their games and/or set up their businesses. Applications open today and run through the end of the month. Enter here! bannerless.games/grant

What's this? An OPEN CASTING CALL for #voiceover talent? @hipflask.games, a volunteer game dev studio, is looking for 3 more female voices. The PDF linked below has all the details but leave any questions below. We look forward to hearing your take on the roles! drive.google.com/file/d/1BbTI...

Howdy folks. I am happy to announce @hipflask.games We are working on something that is really damn cool. Not gonna say too much more. But I would appreciate giving us a follow as I begin the process of ramping up our marketing train.

Just had my first interview since layoffs - always nice to have hiring managers who are transparent and honest about timelines and role expectations, especially in a time when jobs are so hard to not only get but also get to enjoy.

Not me accidentally taking out a camp in Assassin's Creed Shadows only to get a notification that I took out a target I didn't know about from an organization I hadn't heard of yet 🫢😬 Like yay but also... oops? Feel like I should've gotten a secret achievement for that lol (cc @ubisoft.com 👋)

Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions. Authors, search your name here: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Nobody bother me for the next ? hours. The Ubisoft app let me start Assassin's Creed Shadows early and that's my wholllleeeee plan now.

Why are my weird dreams never book-worthy like some writers'? I wanna have the next bestseller in a dream, not nightmare times.

Turning 31 today after about a month of being laid off in the video/board game space. I'm not taking the week fully off but am enjoying a trip back in Texas to see friends and family to get back in the groove to keep pushing for the best fit once I get home 🥳💪

Happy International Women's Day to all my fellow gals working in games 💕

I don't enjoy job hunting, but who does? Post-layoffs I'm trying to find a rhythm. If any game industry folks I know have connections to production roles, please let me know! I also have a background in writing, project management and teaching so I'm flexible!! 🙏

I love all the trans people in my life. They're delightful, they're talented, they're funny, and they just generally enrich my world in a multitude of ways.

Anybody out there who's written a video game pitch before? I've got a low stakes chance to do it, but want to do it well - so any advice is very welcome!

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

advice to young writers: - begin the first sentence of every paragraph with, "So basically the whole deal is, is that [...]" - begin subsequent sentences with, "And plus, [...]" - end every paragraph with, "So that basically wraps it up as far as all that goes." - 4 blank lines between paragraphs

When the decision-making call for casting a game takes over 4 hours, you know the voice actors really popped off. It was a lot of roles, sure, but the deliberation was INTENSE 🤯

I need game devs and gamers alike to understand that procedural generation is not genAI.

Just a friendly reminder that if anybody (already) has Disney+, the Broadway pro shot of Newsies is available and it's eerily timely and delightful.

sometimes I have hope for humanity, but other times I look at comment sections where 100+ people have commented functionally the exact same question, seemingly unaware that it has already been answered dozens of times, and then my conviction weakens a little

Happy Valentine's Day!💘 (Or Night...?) Zagreus is handy with that heart-seeking bow on this occasion, while Melinoë's still learning the ropes. May Aphrodite herself help you take your best shot today, or just have a lovely time!💘
