Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm a writer and game dev looking for remote work in narrative design or localization. I also make custom stylesheets.
I have a couple digital tip jars, where the price of a pack of gum helps me keep making games.

I wanted to do several game jams this month but I got a second retail job and also didn't realize how much I grind my teeth until several chipped so it's looking more like 0. I need to minmax teeth

Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday OndΕej SurΓ½ saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

absolutely livid/upset/?? at these news.
even worse--i have no idea what kind of indie studio can quickly raise enough capital to re-hire history-defining writers and narrative designers, at the same scale as bioware.
it's a huge loss of institutional knowledge, talent and stories we won't see.

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading.
This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

If anyone is looking to hire a Peabody and BAFTA winning senior writer, I am looking for work. Iβve got six years experience in games. Everything from indie to AAA. I am not married to staying in games.
I am hoping to relocate to the Bay Area. I am keeping my ears to the ground.

epic games is delaying the stupidest fucking idea youβve ever heard to rebuild it entirely out of the greyish waste matter you find at the bottom of the potomac river
I hate to ask, but I'm short on an important bill and anything helps. I got a second day job to prevent exactly this situation in the future but this bill is due before I'll be able to get paid π€‘ ko-fi.com/grimdev/goal...
I died in the shipwreck of a whaling vessel in 1798, but a few days later, clinging to an old rum barrel. Now I can only haunt this one specific patch of desolate ocean. I thought I saw a cruise liner once, in the distance. Had a scare ready to go and everything. Not much going on outside of that
