I've been enjoying doing "Narrative Design Coffee Talks" - small one-off consultations and commissions for small and solo indie devs.
It's really fun working across different genres and styles, and the work has been so varied. I'm writing everything from Steam pages to a full documentation overhaul.

A shirt design that says "you may go to hell, i will go to geocities.com/coolhorsepics"
there are multiple computer windows open with various drawings of horses on them, with captions saying "there is no suffering here. All free. All beautiful. Running through the open fields."
At the bottom it says "a world without pain, a world of horse."

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
