Let's give it a short, how hard can it be?

What the German one-word for "the feeling when one of the plot branches has gotten so long and complex you contemplate making it the main/only branch"?

A painting of Goethe lounging around some Romantic ruins landscape, deep in thought, probably thinking: "what's the German one-word for "the feeling when one of the plot branches has gotten so long and complex you contemplate making it the main/only branch?"

Blame! explained in one panel.

A panel from the Blame! manga with some character (don't even ask me who that's supposed to be) asking "What the hell is going on?"

Enjoying a morning of coffee, sunshine and RenPy scripting. #ProjectChamois

Pic of a café table, with coffee cup, laptop open on the VS Code app with Renpy stuff in it, and a sunlit square visible through the window.

Without giving too many details, I was also lucky enough to be part of a wonderful dev team invited to a certain party at a certain place...

Igloo-style bubbles on a London rooftop, against a backdrop of dark buildings; cyberpunk as all get out.

Another view from same rooftop, looking towards Barad-dûr, i.e. the Shard.

Big plot twist time: to make depressing games, make colorful and happy games. Mandatory French quote: "L'humour est la politesse du désespoir". 🇫🇷Now I want to hear that sung by Charles Aznavour...

"Making games takes a long time, so you're not gonna make that many in your lifetime. So you might as well make games that matter to you." Some best practices on how to do your due diligence on researching heavy topics. (Paraphrasing)

Ok, no more jokes, pretty serious stuff here. Appreciate the candid approach and the sincerity on display, things not shown on screen 😬

A lot of really good stuff about good procgen narrative in Stark Holborn's talk on the development of Shadows of Doubt, but lemme just focus on the "fuck AI"* slide: * (my wording, not hers. Because, well, fuck LLMs)

Day 2 of #AdventureX2025! Sagar Beroshi on how to cut content without dying in the process (my words; grim reaper imagery might have had an influence). Really clear insights and super mellow energy from this guy. Loved his previous talk (advx 2023?) on history lessons for game dev.

At #AdventureX2025, with Jon Ingold dropping pearl after pearl of storytelling wisdom, can't wait to rewatch this one a few times.

When Ren'Py syntax is too close to Ink but still not Ink.

Screenshot of the last line of a Ren'Py game in the Visual Studio console, reading: "FUCKING REMINDER OF VARIABLE HANDLING IN RENPY!!!!!", followed by a fucking reminder of how RenPy handles variables (i.e. too similarly to Ink not to give Yours Truly serious brain static)

🥰Por reviews así me alegro de haberme dejado convencer en su momento para hacer este curso de Domestika...

Pantallazo de una review de mi curso de diseño narrativo en Domestika, que dice así: "Un curso muy bien estructurado, dinámico y con muy buenas explicaciones. Soy un completo novato en todo lo que es narrativa y escritura y gracias a este curso ya pude escribir mi primera historia de un videojuego."

Thank you! Apparently it's been bad in some zones (pic is the city of Tarazona), special army units are activated but so far no lives lost.

Very, very grateful for AC these days. Very, very much but looking forward to the next electricity bill.

Doing things the old fashioned way: mapping out Raymond Chandler's "Lady in the Lake" to teach myself how to write that kind of thing stylistically. Then, more importantly, to decide where are the key decision nodes where Chandler's Marlowe does A and my Kitty might have tried B instead.

Inclusivity in game events, the Andalusian version #Guadalindie2025

Elle/ella/él badges for event attendants. Not just NB-friendly, but also using the Andalusiam dialectal "ille/illa/illo". Very cute.
