FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

omg nina thank you so much!! you have no idea how much this means to me. cibele was a foundational game for me <3 i shall pass on the kind words to the rest of the team!

trying to talk in a discord server like sorry this channel is actually just for talking about peepee if you want to talk about poopoo use the poopoo channel please

Hello everyone, this is Chiquillin, a very sweet 8 month old baby boy seeking a new home! I’ve been told he’s a total love bug. If you’re looking for a new companion, feel free to DM me, also I’ll post his adoption link once he’s up. I am not fostering him, just passing the info along.

The team was at The Game Awards last night celebrating the incredible creators in this industry. Congratulations to all the winners!

Extra shoutout to @expedition33.bsky.social for taking home multiple awards, including GOTY.

For those who come after.

A meme with the caption "when a job posting asks for a 'narrative designer'". The meme shows the pokemon Eevee in the middle labeled as "narrative designer" with the various evolutions of Eevee being labeled with the litany of tasks and specializations a narrative designer could be expected to do or cover.

very amused that to some folks this meme is my greatest contribution to game design

SDN’s voicemail box is full, and so are our hearts. Thankful for everyone who has supported Dispatch.
