Hello from Cape Town! Here early at the Homecoming Centre for setup. Already the energy is great. It feels so good to be back at an arts-focused videogames festival.

The Steam ban of @santaragione.com's HORSES is extremely worrying for us who make games, who want to push the boundaries of what games can do, and make a living of it. This concerns everyone who loves this medium. Read this, share it, and support HORSES when it comes out next week.

📚 My current contract is coming to an end in Dec so I am now looking for new work! ⭐ I am an award-winning & expert/lead game writer & narrative designer. 🌎 I am interested in long & short term contracts & consultancy, ideally remote. Let's chat! hannahnicklin.com linkedin.com/in/hannah-nicklin
A selection of images from games etc. Hannah Nicklin has worked on, a screencap or key art image from: Saltsea Chronicles, Black Mirror: Thronglets, Mutazione; and the cover of Writing for Games: Theory & Practice. Also featured two reviews. 

One from Eurogamer: 5/5 Saltsea Chronicles
"Onwards you go in pursuit of your missing crew, then, your story diverging further from mine with every island choice, with every flick of the head or settling of the lips. Memories/Artefacts? Skeptical/Curious? And astonishingly, through all these moving parts, all this phase space, my story still made rich sense, and actually built to a truly devastating climax.

Scream/Weep? Fittingly, for me, Saltsea Chronicles turned out to be a story about choices as well as a story made of choices. It made me think about the big decisions I make in life, but also the decisions that shape a life that I don't even notice having made. Ripples turning to waves and all that. You must play this. It's luminous."

The second of Mutazione from Gamespew, 9/10
"Mutazione is a game that builds up relationships within a community you instantly feel a part of. The main story is secondary to the real drama and the heart of the town, but it’s necessary. It’s extremely well-written, and the hand-drawn environments are beautifully designed. Die Gute Fabrik has crafted a sweet, powerful fairy tale that delves into the human psyche and allows you to reside there for five hours or so."A virtual biz card on a dark purple background, featuring an image of a white woman in glasses, with blonde hair, speaking at a podium. Next to it is the title Hannah Nicklin, and the details Creative Director, Narrative Lead/Designer, Senior Writer, Consultant.

#Mutazione took me 11 years to make – Concept, World, Characters, Story, Creative Direction of a core team of up to 13 and the work of my career I’m most proud of (so far) – Out as a premium title on iOS and Android. It's even more relevant now and I hope it still is 11 years after its release.
