If their ads continuously show up on your feed—don’t buy it.
They’re trying hard to sell an experience that many people have told me did not fulfill the promises they made.
Lastly—they do not teach in any of the different courses *industry standard* tools.
I think you should have shipped at least one (1) videogame with a team before writing a book or running paid courses on how to do videogame narrative

Happy #PortfolioDay! I’m Andrea, I’m a AAA + indie narrative designer and writer with certifications from Harvard about religion and history.
After writing for #Civ7, I turned my focus to sapphic romances and historical fiction.
Currently I’m #LFW 🖤

It’s narrative DESIGN.
It is in the name.
If folks enjoy writing content such as NPC dialogue, character sheets, overarching plot—that’s great.
However, it is not narrative designer. That’s game writing—not narrative design.
I'm seeing a lot of juniors still conflate writing with narrative design. Of course there's overlap but they're not the same. I say this purely in the interest of helping - if you call yourself a narrative designer, please be able to explain that you understand the differences!

Level designers! Check out Nathan’s post for inspiration 😊
2024 #Blocktober is here!
I wanted to create a list of 31 different them to help people get inspired for #leveldesign and #environmentart projects
Have fun! Mix and match, be random or do new ones! Just have fun moving cubes!

Everyone should read this thread--international students lack the privilege of just obtaining a job outside of the industry, depending on their degree.
International students need roles aligned with their majors, and many QTPOC face danger when they return to their countries.

Thinking about how I'd love to do a talk on how stand-up comedy made me a better game writer and narrative designer, send tweet
You can either make games, or run a studio—but not both (simultaneously and efficiently.)
I can’t stress enough the importance of delegating work, and acknowledging when there is too much work for one person is a skilled learned over time.
If you want to make games, I don’t recommend starting a studio.
Find someone business minded to start a studio with you so that you can focus on making games.
Developing a product and building a business are very different skills with varying overlap.
Choose which one you want to focus on, otherwise you run the risk of neglecting the other.

Shakespeare walked so the production schedule of @StrangeScaffold @WritNelson could run.

finally seeing people drawing comparisons to @ChappellRoan and julie d’aubigny
which brings the question
who here wants to read a script I wrote about Julie burning a convent for her lover for a future game? 👀

I was a guest on one of my favorite podcasts! We got to talk about all things emergent narrative, and I shared it to announce that I have availability for consultant/freelance/contract/FT/PT opportunities for the month of September! Shares are appreciated 🧵

I learned about Spellbreak through my brother years ago, and it was a game we cherished—definitely worth a read into how a development team can do everything right, and still face hardships in this industry.
Extreme shame about Concord and I just want to say that you can have a world class team, clever and unique gameplay, super appealing art and characters, highly optimized performance, cross play, and a pandemic causing players to be home all the time and still face challenges.

I learned a lot from @drjclau and @Ekanaut during their talks about advocacy and leadership at GDC, highly encourage everyone to get their GDoC tickets to learn about sustainability amidst *waves at everything*
I'm speaking at Game Devs of Color Expo! Join me, @MushrooQueendom, @Ekanaut, @LatoyaPeterson on Thursday September 19 at 3:15pm PST as we talk about leadership, layoffs, and how we can make games in a sustainable and human centered manner. It'll be a blast; see you there!✨
ALT A screenshot of the panel information for The Way We Work - Deconstructing Human Sustainability in Game Development. The panel is Thursday, September 19 at 3:15PM and features headshots of JC, Eka, Shana, and Latoya. The panel information on the left says: "It’s time to rethink the way games are made. According to GDC’s 2020 State of the Industry Report, game development is “driven by young workers who tend to depart within a decade.” The “burnout of entire micro-generations of developers.” The industry is slow to acknowledge that the way we work may be the problem. We can fix this. In this panel, we talk to industry leaders tackling institutional problems at studios they work in, build, and run. These are practical solutions for leaders on how to build culture, hire effectively, communicate openly, seek funding, and put people before products."
