I am having an absolutely wonderful time teaching a 3 week summer school on "writing for games" to masters game design students at the moment. A joy! An actual joy! If you know any other places that might like my teaching, please LMK! 👩‍🏫

Just fixed a whole RAKE of our tile texts being too long by replacing all "opponents" with "foes" and THAT'S VIDEO GAME WRITING, BABY! 💪

this game rips so hard, esepcially if you're a game designer you need to play this. its a whole ass rpg stripped to its studs, losing nothing in the process. work of art.
