#WhatAGameDevLooksLike Sadly not at GDC this year as I have joined the ranks of Game Dev Mom and am taking care of an insatiable angry potato. I miss catching up with everyone, but hope you're all having a good time!

I'd been a bookworm ever since I was 2, but it never occurred to me I could write my own stories until my 2nd grade teacher gave us a lined sheet of paper and told us to write a story. I filled up the page like it was nothing and kept having to ask for more paper.

Cool news! I’m doing a talk at GDC with the incredibly talented @zoeraecalamar.bsky.social! If you’re a student without game education available to you, or just someone looking to pivot in their career, we’ve got you! Hope to see you there.

An image that shows the GDC website, and the name of the panel, “Gaming the System: Creating Your Own Path to a Narrative Design Career!”

Neat!

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

If you're playing Breath of Fire IV on GOG (you should) I highly recommend to follow the small tutorial below ("Forcing Point Sampling for Sharp Pixels") to remove the filter from the PC version and restore its gorgeous pixel-art! Also, keep the resolution in 4:3 format! (before/after)

I have trouble relating to the characters in Split Fiction because if I was forced to run through a simulation of my old writing with a fellow writer, I could never be that enthusiastic. I would probably just crawl into a hole and die.
