As of February 1st, 2023, I am no longer working at Your Story Interactive. Hit me up if you need a competent Game/Narrative Designer or Producer!

We love to poke fun at folks who have "great ideas" for games. But I'm not sure we always do a great job of unpacking why ideas alone aren't super valuable.

This is something I've been working on for the past year or so! Really excited to talk about this project — the team has poured a LOT of effort into it.
Hey everyone! We're back! We've been silent for a long time; trust us - the wait was worth it. Get ready. It's time for a new adventure! #InteractiveFiction #IF #VisualNovel #VN #IndieGameDev

Game design does not talk enough about a principle that is core to so so so many experiences. I’d even say it might be at the core of most games, but it sounds a little esoteric. You know when we say immersion, wanting impact on the game world etc? It’s a desire to be witnessed.

Something really useful a bunch of coworkers taught me over the last few years is how to stop asking for and giving milquetoast feedback.

Wonderful thread, thank you! This is basically how I got my first job in the industry.
Someone asked me recently about breaking into the video game industry as a writer / narrative designer. There's so, so much good advice out there that I only tend to hit this topic on rare occasion. But it's been a while, so let's go!

so overtime i've had to try and explain to game communities why devs cannot "just" implement things, or why something takes months and not a week. here is my non-exhaustive list:
