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.

@danielvella Hi Daniel, and welcome!!!

Take a look at my profile for some pinned posts with tips, info, and a Welcome to Mastodon guide!

Which for example will suggest things like: take this lovely post and #hashtag #it #up!

I'm in unlisted mode with this post so they won't go anywhere, but for example, get

It's wonderful to have you hear! :astro:​

Worldbuilding as a top-down rogue-like: start with some kernel idea, then use the verbs of the story/game to explore outwards, finding dark spaces (questions), and exploring into those spaces to discover new ground, which in turn is shaped by the physics of the story-world. Every discovered piece of land then informs the next questions and the next discoveries. So world building is the wrong term: it's world *discovery*. #gamenarrative #writing
