Tyler Boyce

Hello, my name is Tyler! I am a freelance narrative designer and indie dev! I have a Master of Science in Games & Playable Media, and I have been part of the industry for the past (almost) four years. Come find me at GDC! I am looking for new projects to join and publishers/investors to pitch!

South of Midnight is packed with dark, gothic folklore you probably shouldn’t go digging into. Haints, boo hags, mythical creatures... All lurking in the shadows. Oh! it’s 30% off on Steam. Just saying. 👀 #SouthOfMidnight #Halloween #SouthernGothic #Folklore #IndieDev

This man, this little worm who’s never done a day of honest work in his life. He’s why BioWare was shuddered and hundreds of people lost their jobs last week.

On Bioware's closure, and how its legacy lives on in games they inspired. feat. @adashtra.bsky.social @alyssamerc.bsky.social @osamadorias.bsky.social @heartimecia.bsky.social ( & thanks to @silvarils.bsky.social) www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Just to elaborate: when I use #SaveMassEffect, I'm referring to everyone who ever worked on the next Mass Effect. Not just the IP. But I can understand that when people get excited about a game, they can forget *who* made it a game worth getting excited for. People make games. *We* make games. 💪🏼

So here you go ... Thank you again to my friends at both BioWare and EA. To even dream in your sandbox was a privilege. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBO8...

The closest I’ll ever get to being up in lights in Times Square That phrase isn’t Keelah Se’Lai It’s the Quarian phrase I created for #MassEffect Annihilation. The name of my ship Not “by the homeworld I hope to see one day” but “by the homeworld I hope to find one day” I have a lot of feelings…

Some good news from the other site! #SaveMassEffect now has a billboard in *Times Freaking Square*! 📢 Also, how it reads "Keelah Si'yah"(Khelish for "By the home I hope to find one day")? God, I love my fellow nerds. 🚀🌌 @wearemasseffect.bsky.social @kalaelizabeth.bsky.social x.com/WeAreMassEff...

During the brazilian elections we learned one obvious but important tactic to defeat the far right on the Internet and I think everyone should know it: IGNORE THEM! DON'T ENGAGE WITH THEIR CONTENT! DON'T MAKE CONTENT REACTING TO THEM! DON'T HATE QRT! LET THEM ALONE IN THEIR BUBBLE!

The D&D and MTG teams unionizing might be the year's biggest gaming news story, a long overdue move in an increasingly fragile industry. Our friends and WotC employees Vanessa and Crystal tell us about their union's demands, and what they hope comes out of this. youtu.be/WgETZjouauU

NEWS: the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unionized and the Cowboys have agreed to recognize the union

Hi London 🥹🇬🇧 Just arrived @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social and already surrounded by lots of people in cosplay (and saw an Aloy cosplayer 😍) Excited to speak here tomorrow at our Horizon music panel! ❤️‍🔥#HorizonZeroDawn #HorizonForbiddenWest

I really wish the fools who know fuck all about game dev would shut their yaps about BioWare’s closure. They stay blaming devs who didn’t make the decisions you should be looking to Shareholders & C Suite bastards for.

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

My first piece for @kotaku.com sees me document the rather surreal experience of demoing a game funded by a government that would have me executed for being trans. kotaku.com/the-1001-thr...

For The Mary Sue, I wrote about Taash’s storyline in #DragonAgeTheVeilguard and how it impacted me. This is a wildly vulnerable piece and I hope it reaches the right audience. 🩵 #VeilguardSpoilers

Our hearts go out to the passionate developers at #Bioware whose livelihoods were ripped from them by corporate malfeasance. To those affected, take time to rest and recover. Be with your families, your loved ones, and friends. Then, when you are ready, organize. Solidarity forever.

I am still a fucking wreck about this. mass effect was my dream series to work on. I would not be doing what I do now without it. I wish the team could have seen this through and I wish we could have played it. so much love and creativity and work down the drain, again. this fucking industry, man.

At this point the only sensible conclusion is that the games industry is doing great but the desperate greed of capitalism keeps murdering us

NV, early voting is ongoing, so if you haven't already: 1. Vote Cisco Aguilar for Secretary of State. NV has some of the most secure elections in the country because of him. 2. Vote NO on Question 7. Voter ID amendment designed to disenfranchise elders, students, and working class/rural Nevadans.

Fuse Games CEO breaks down codev framework for Star Wars: Galactic Racer

Genuine enthusiasm: Oh look, a fun human-made game! Like many on here, I've been disappointed when a game that I really liked turned out to use generative AI as part of its design and development. NO such disappointment here! No need for plugins: enjoy the real deal! And a fun puzzle game to boot!

The first two days of Steam Next Fest are critical to a game's visibility! If you've been thinking of trying it out, booting up the demo today will help Steam surface it so others can discover it! store.steampowered.com/app/4429720/...

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

Now, I'm not qualified to be a creative lead. But YOU might be! So apply and get the job! Help create #DnD! And then hire me to help you create D&D! www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/44...
