andrea 🔜 GDC

After discussions about poor behavior by DICE attendees last month, I thought I'd bring these out again at GDC dawns.

AND DUDES... PLEASE CALL OUT YOUR FELLOW DUDES IF YOU SEE BAD BEHAVIOR. Rock that boat!

Atuel is one of the most gorgeous, tranquil and unique experiences I have ever completed from beginning to end. I still can't believe it is free—definitely check it out if you can!

We made a videogame about this!

Atuel is a surrealist documentary videogame about a river that crosses a desert in western Argentina, its history, and how the climate crisis threatens its future.

It's 30 minutes long and completely free!

Thanks, John! Can't wait to meet 🫶

Thank you so much! 😭🙏

Thank you, Anna! Finances were super tight, so imagine my relief when not only were the contracts signed BUT the invoices were submitted earlier than expected. Couldn't have done it without your help 🙏🫶

Thank you, Peter!

Thank you, Aysha!

To everyone that took hours looking over my resume, portfolio, cover letters. Answered questions, connected me, invited me.

A thousand times thank you 🙏❤️

If we're mutuals, and you're on the same boat I was, feel free to DM me your resume/portfolio. I can't promise anything, but if I can connect you to a studio that needs your talent, I absolutely would.

This legitimately took a village. Friends hosting me across events, family supporting me...

I've had to ask for so much help, during a frightening time to work in games. But even more so in narrative.

For a consultancy I started not even three weeks ago to be onboarded across four amazing projects... I'm in awe. I'm so grateful.

three years after being laid off, I can finally announce that I'm working as a narrative designer @ Deviant Games!

additionally, my consultancy working with Reality Reload on narrative design for H1B.Life, as well as additional copy and lore for Flameborn Games

this is... absolutely insane

networking 101: be a horrible influence.

I'll be speaking at GDC this year with some other awesome indies at the Indie Soapbox panel on Monday and will be around Monday-Wednesday! If you're looking for some Games Narrative work done, feel free to reach out!!! 🎮✨♥️

In honor of Women's History Month let's get all those laid off industry gals jobs at GDC next week ok

This year Ahria and Joan will be heading to GDC 2026! We'll be meeting fellow devs and exploring what's next in game development 🎮

If you're in SF next week for #GDC go see @toiya.bsky.social @nessathewriter.bsky.social @mjweise.bsky.social @ashleyruhl.bsky.social @asaraviapt.bsky.social and ask them questions to learn the ropes when you start as a game writer.

It's Not in the Writer's Manual: Q&A for New Writers | Agenda | GDC Festival of Gaming How do newer writers fit into game design and narrative design teams? Do writers coming from the worlds of film and comics have advantages getting work over prose writers? Is it easier to be a freelan...

If you're attending #GDC next week, I'm on a panel with several other talented writers. Stop by if you want the inside scoop on game narrative from people who've been doing it for years.
