I absolutely love that when I pop up in a game a player is either going to recognise me for being a right snobby cow, or a pelican, a bisexual time traveller, vampire, a poodle, an alien or just a disembodied narrator… and whatever they know me from, the character in this one will not be the same!

What do you get when you mix a cracking script, a brilliant cast AND a monster mechanic just in time for Halloween? Why, a little Heir of the Dog is just the medicine you’ve been looking for!

Also hearing @sallybeaumont.bsky.social express what I think every Nighthawks player has felt at some point or another "Oh no I have misunderstood this and it's actually much darker than I had realised" in the outtakes was *very* funny. BECAUSE IT'S TRUE

Another poke to beg for reviews. I really hate to do stuff like this, but needs must, etc. Reviews really help push the game forward, so do review if you can. Especially if you're a non-backer.

Rolled credits on Nighthawks - absolutely stunning game. So well put together, so many fantastic characters who you genuinely come to care for. Even right up to the end, there's twists and consequences to your actions. Go buy it on Steam!

I suppose the corollary is that if you already are good at something, it can be frustrating to be back to square one. You aren’t learning slower it just…feels slower.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Hey I said learning not learned! I found picking up bits of Italian a lot easier after learning French at school- you know what type of words and phrases you need to get speaking quickly. Ditto writing genres- learning the spots where you need to learn a new skill or adapt what you have.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

I think my tolerance for being bad at something is much higher- because I already have a bunch of skills to bolster my confidence and also because I know being bad is the only way to get to good. I think I also understand how to find the key skills, like when you learn a third language.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

I think you’ve correctly noticed that certain people have to prove their place in a fandom rather than just being accepted.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

My stock answer is “we make games: we don’t have the time to *play* them!”. I had a guy rag on me for not having a “proper” gaming rig and I had to explain making the games doesn’t pay enough for that.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

“Have you ever played a game?” and “how many hundred hours do you have in Call of Duty” are quite different questions. There’s also a tone thing happening- particularly women in games have to prove they belong in a very specific way.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Often in interviews- not only are we quizzed about the right type of games (AAA shoot em ups appear to be the correct answer) we have to have been playing games since we were tiny. I mean, I was! But many of those type of games didn't exist back then ( I’d still have played adventure games instead)

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

It can be so hard to ignore the incessant message from the world that it’s too late. But it is far better to try than to lug around regret. Something I love about being older is how much faster I learn- I’m never really starting over because I always have that skill.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

If we also asked film actors this knowing the “right” films involved a large financial outlay, and also the potential for abuse from strangers, it would be even sillier.

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

It is important to have played games if you voice act in them, to get a feel for what’s expected, technical requirements etc. But the purity tests VAs get for whether they play AAA games for many hundreds of hours is prohibitive for so many of us. And we’re still very good.

2190

Sally Beaumont | BAFTA Breakthrough | Voice Actor & Writer @sallybeaumont.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

I wonder whether film actors are asked if they reeeeaaaaallly watch films, no real films, no proper films, blockbuster films, no like do you actually watch films or do you just say you watch films, in the same way game voice actors are asked about games.
