So You Want to Write Iambic Pentameter In which I share the dirty secrets of the world's least useful skill

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it โ€“ย in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

If you hire me AND bruno, you could get two long-time collaborators who will make your material, whatever it is, *alarmingly* unhinged

The key move for a big time genius would be to hire both of us to write the most deranged material of all time

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

It's that time again, folks. I have been told I will be let go from Heart Machine next week. The people there have been amazing friends and coworkers and anyone else who has been affected deserves all the love and support.

I will be updating my portfolio soon; any Env Art leads would be appreciated

If not for the โ€œtoo many gamesโ€ problem, youโ€™d already have played this.

Donโ€™t wait any longer! You deserve nice things!

Nobody who is capable of making a twitter should ever be allowed to make a twitter. Nobody who *wishes* to make a twitter should be allowed in public life.

Give them a frozen pumpkin filled with ground-up meat and let them worry at it in the corner of the enclosure

I wouldn't say it's the BEST (only because its peers are often SO wildly different) but Skin Deep is a heavyweight amongst a whole wave of great indie immersive sims

It fixes the problem of 'I can't do violence because the game will say I'm mean!' by making the enemies immortal comedy punching bags

Oceans Of Yore (Skin Deep Original Soundtrack)
YouTube video by Priscilla Snow Oceans Of Yore (Skin Deep Original Soundtrack)

I just released this video for Oceans Of Yore! It was one of the earliest "radio" songs I did for Skin Deep.

Grendel had a wonderful voice and he put it to good use. I wanted to make this to celebrate the old man's legacy and create a little memorial. Captain Palanka forever ๐Ÿ’œ
