This was such a nice surprise to come home to! Thank you so much to the @iftechfoundation.org for the opportunity to speak at @narrascope.org for the first time, I'm so glad that my words resonated with a brilliant cohort of writers that inspire me every day.

A firehose of a talk (in an excellent way) is Designing Change—about the challenges of making games with a message—by Andrea Saravia Pérez. It's a Big Picture guide to getting these types of projects up and running and funded and effectively changing minds and behaviors thru immersion.

Brinkmanship was nominated for best narrative at this year's @narrascope.org conference! We didn't win the award, but the real w was meeting so many sweet and talented people who also obsess over having the right amount of branching dialogue. The game is free and has the correct amount of branches!

If you're at @narrascope.org this weekend, go watch @jannouna.bsky.social and @marsmella.bsky.social present on the narrative design process for our upcoming game Young Suns! 🥰 The spaceship is more built now, btw... 🚀

@marsmella.bsky.social and I are speaking at Narrascope this Sunday at 2:15 EST! Not to toot my own horn but it's going to be really good and you don't wanna miss it especially if you don't want me to hate you forever

"We’ll dive into the ongoing production history of Young Suns, an early access multiplayer life-sim. Young Suns is our biggest game yet, and its scope has brought with it a bigger team, unexpected design challenges, and a new world of decisions to align on. Our groundwork of modular systems has enabled us to preserve the majority of our written content, even as Young Suns’ production has gone through major hiccups and creative pivots. From early-stage worldbuilding strategies to systems built flexibly enough for multiplayer, we’ll share lessons and collaborative approaches on our voyage to ship this post-revolutionary space adventure."
