I'm delighted to announce that I was a lead writer & narrative consultant on Star Wars: Galactic Racer for a year. Super proud of my teammates, honored to be trusted with the opportunity--and so excited that people are already connecting with the game. Jump in today!!

what can the feedback process look like when working with IP holders and how do you empower your writers to feel in control of that comms loop? everything from what the pipeline itself looks like to thoughtfully pushing back/engaging in dialogue over choices the team feels strongly about

difficult to not see it as markiplier for maybe the first 20 minutes and then he really finds his place in the role. fun watch, has some genuinely good "wtf" moments, atmospheric and claustrophobic while avoiding stagnation. tbh thought the movie was gonna end probs 3x before it actually did

this + paradise killer (also by kaizen and ALSO on sale right now for $4.99!!) were such joyful experiences in the midst of my never-ending relationship with games industry burnout. i couldnt put them down because i liked the weirdness of them way too much. refreshing and short and so so good <333

promise mascot agency is on sale for $14.99 on steam right now and has some of the BEST soundtrack ever + a yakuza baddie (several, actually) + a lot of heart and silly little discoveries to make while you build your mascot empire. take one look at to-fu and tell me you dont want to play this game

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is the shot in the arm the arcade racing genre has been waiting for. Fast, frenetic, and fun. It's a reminder of what the genre can be when it is willing to push boundaries and the speed limit. My review: www.gamerguides.com/star-wars-ga...

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Men, you are part of the problem unless you are willing to make yourself uncomfortable in the pursuit of stopping abuse in its tracks. Social media posts are not cutting it. Step the fuck up, please, because this is how a 10-year-old abuse gets swept away so these abusers can start over guilt free.

Are you a cis man feeling disgusted at the news? Good. Use that. Talk to your fellow men about what you're going to do to make our industry and our world safer. And then actually do it. You may lose friends or opportunities, but a better and safer industry and world starts with you.

Fuck it. I'm doing the thing I'm afraid to do. As someone who was assaulted four times in college, twice by my ex, and two other times by people who I thought I could trust, it's now scary to be in an industry where I always have to keep my guard up.

I feel like I have so much I want to say but it’s just this incoherent ramble. But do you know how much it weighs on me to be the one woman on staff at GameSpot? To be one of VERY few women in the industry? To be one of ever fewer moms? To walk into press events and be the *sole* woman?

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.
