Are there any tabletop online groups you are a part of that you feel have been a tremendous boon for you? Wether that is searching for online groups to play games, finding people to bounce ideas off of, or perhaps a good group to chat game design? Feel free to share those groups and what they have done for you.

If you're looking for a #GameWriter for your #indiegames, I am the dude. Seriously, if you have a project on your mind, get back to me. Let's talk. I'm interested in doing this from a fan perspective. Once we get stuff sorted out, we can talk business when the time comes!

Our next episode is now out! 🎲 🎙 🎧

Bonus episode! Q&A with Fede Sohns from Araukana Media talking about their upcoming RPG ‘Zephyr: An Anarchist Fantasy Game of Fleeting Identities!’

Playing #Scriptic Redman episodes at the moment, and I really love the format, the phone interfaces, app clones etc. Bold move to base an entire game on reading - that which we learn is a big no in storytelling (and I mostly agree). But it still works! Maybe it's the familiarity of a phone?

It's buggy, but still recommend if you're on Netflix.

Anyone know of other story driven games like this for iOS? #gamewriter

My GDD for my #StoneAge mystery adventure game is starting to shape up!

Biggest hurdle yet: Finding names for characters that supposedly lived 6000 years ago and had a non-indo-European language.... 😅

I realize that I don't habitually post a lot about #gamedev beyond boosting other folks' posts, so if you were following me for that, I apologize if I misled you somehow.

However, if you do have any questions that I can answer without breaking NDAs, I don't mind doing that.

I've worked as a #GameWriter #gamedesigner and #programmer for many years and done a bunch of other things besides, so I may know something that other people may find useful.

What would be your advices to an aspiring game writer (28 yo) , who wants to start a whole new career from scratches? (Except "Learn a proper English", I'm already working on this 😭 )
I'm studying with some books (like Jesse Schell "the Art of Game Design") participated to a workshop and started to read and write novels in English. Should I directly ask questions to game writers about their path and history? I'm always afraid to bother them.

I asked #ChatGPT to write dialogues for a #LeisureSuitLarry game. Let's find out if @falko is expendable as a #GameWriter ...

Belated #introduction post! I'm Jen. I'm a Chinese-American erstwhile MD turned #writer, currently working as the #narrativedesigner and #gamewriter for Butterscotch Shenanigans. I also write #sff and do some freelance editing, henching, and process/cultural consulting on the side. I wear a lot of figurative hats while owning zero literal hats. I'm always doing at least one too many things, and those things usually include #ttrpgs #books #videogames #gamedev #gamedesign #fiberarts

I think my favorite part about being a #Writer more specifically a #GameWriter is that I make my stories as serious or as absurd as possible. For example, in my upcoming #VisualNovel #DatingSim Winning Hearts: Wrestling Otome, there are four love interests (3 male, one female). One lives in a flat with bright yellow, banana decor. Another is a talking #ProfessionalWrestling belt. 🤣

@bram I'm looking for work as a #gameWriter or #narrativeDesigner.

I've been a #soloDev for years and a novelist for about a decade, and have participated in group game jams and produced a full-cast #audioDrama with a team of 17.

I have to keep a structured schedule to stay productive.

Monday through Friday I spend 2 hours every morning looking for #gameWriter or #narrativeDesign work.

Then I split the rest of the workday on solo projects - current #gameDev or book or #ttrpg product. For the last decade these have been my sole income, and yes, that's stressful as all hell with no safety net.

Weekends are for chores and hobbies.

@bram Wasn't much more than a hobbyist/amateur dev - spent my 20s wandering the earth and living out of a suitcase, spent my 30s writing novels, but in my 40s decided to approach #soloDev professionally and more recently have been trying to find employment as a #gameWriter or #narrativeDesigner.

Obligatory #introduction post:

I'm a solo indie #gameDev and #writer of #scienceFiction and #horror novels currently looking for employment as a #gameWriter or in #narrativeDesign. I've written a dozen novels in the last decade, produced a few seasons of a full cast #audiodrama podcast, and published a few #ttrpg supplements.

I enjoy making videos about #retroGaming, #comicBooks , and #indieGame topics.

I may also be a wizard of some kind, and I dabble in #pixelArt.

As I said previously I'm not doing anything for now, just in training to adapt my writing for game development. I'm willing to hear all your stories, your background and advices. 😊

I may also use this account for some fandoms if I find other people enjoying the same games. 😁

Anyone else doing the #WorldOfDarkness #gamejam on Itch? I still need to start building my submission, it's tough to know which game engine to use? #GameDesign #NarrativeDesign #GameWriter #gamedev

Are any #indie #gamedev on the lookout for #GameWriter? I would be eager to take on a smaller project. Published author and journalist here.

Let's discuss it. (I'm not looking for a job, but a new challenge)

#videogames #games

And as discovery works a little differently round these parts, I'll throw some hashtags in here too:

#GameDev
#NarrativeDesign
#GameWriting
#GameDevelopment
#GameWriter
#NarrativeDesigner
#Author
#Novelist

Apparently discoverability is an issue here, so here's the obligatory hashtags:
