Narrative? Levels? Systems? IDK storytelling is what I'm here for. Portfolio: https://www.ransomlinder.com/ ATX
Just remembered there was a Harrison Ford movie where he was charged w/ homicide, the evidence being his wife saying: “—Jon this person is killing me Jon this person—“ I guess the plot hinged on whether it was more of a “this person is killing: Jon.” Or a “this person is killing me, Jon”
Been liking using noclip.website so far. Great level design resource. Figured this smash bros map was foreshortened, but not by this much.
They didn’t even try to hide the plot twist that they’re all ghosts smh 🙄
Hey! I'm leading programing/technical narrative teams on this. Might start showing the process in the coming weeks as we work on polish, since it's been a bit unusual. 👀 We used the @solarus-games.org engine. Also everyone working on the game is crazy cool, and you should follow them!

The amount of college freshmen shouting 6 7 in this diner makes me feel like the grumpiest 76 year old, and I’m a zoomer.
How is Consume Me's UI so good yet so within scope!?
What is it with post-war philosophers and confidently shifting the conversation to animals? I'm sure the idea is to ground the argument in biology, but I think these people were just zoology nerds.
It's rumored that the next James Bond will be an enchanted pumpkin that can speak, sing, and even dance
What do you call this kind of dialogue? It's my favorite and I only want more.
I see my feet have not forgiven me for going to GDC.
Don’t make me! I beg you! Please, just one other player!

Just had this conversation in the corner store: - Muffin? - Nah, thanks. Muffout. ...and I paid, walked out, and boarded a tram. I think the guy is still standing there, confused. Anyway, I got my beer 👍
Touch grass. Now touch stone. Now touch water. Now spill blood inside the glyph. Now light the brazier
In geopolitics, Realism is the concept that the world is a perpetual war between “spheres of influence” whose strength must be balanced for our survival.

Started watching Shadowhunters since I love camp. *Mother hands a decretive box, dramatic music* Mother: "It's called a stele." MC: "What is it, like, a paper weight?" Mother: "No, it's more than that."
This is a discussion I've been interested in for a long time. I feel many games are designed with the idea that more content is good & players should be able to play it all. But in doing so you deny players from a different kind of experience. Narratives lose weight & immersion is reduced 1/..
The world is ending but here's a side quest - will RPGs ever solve their urgency problem?
Why is it that in a role-playing game where the stakes are usually 'the end of the world', the end of the world always …

Journey is still the first piece of media that comes to mind when I think of to visual storytelling. If you haven’t played it, now’s a good time.
10th anniversary Journey thread, recreated: I was the art director of thatgamecompany's Journey. It set the course of my career and my art. I'm forever thankful to the community of players and their incredible love for the game. This is a thread comparing early dev images and how things shipped.
