Game writing is its own medium with its own rules that doesn't end with words, it's world-building, narrative design, and environmental storytelling all at once.

What's your favorite example of good storytelling in games?

I was really out here thinking they were called fire fighters because they fight fire. 🚒🧑‍🚒😂

Did you know NYC had a militarized sanitation force in the early 1900s?
Neither did we until we started researching for Aether & Iron. Now they're the White Street Sanitation Brigade in our 1930s noir world.
What's your best fact that's stranger than fiction? 👇

YouTube video by urbanbohemian Just a Simple Job in 1930s #Steampunk #ArtDeco NYC | #AetherandIron #Sponsored @SeismicSquirrelGames

If you missed my #sponsored stream of @seismicsquirrel.bsky.social's #Aether&Iron demo, you can catch it on #YouTube.

We meet Gia, get acquainted with #DecoPunk New York City, take on a simple job and start to assemble our crew. We also get a peek at the tactical vehicle combat and skill system!

Once you see how the sausage is made, it’s hard not to appreciate the process. #gamedev #behindthescenes #perspective

In the 90's, the game's industry was built different. Imagine walking in barefoot and walking out with $100 and a job. #gamedev #story #behindthescenes #career

Aether & Iron on Steam Immerse yourself in this Decopunk Narrative RPG set in an alternate 1930s where anti-gravitational technology has taken cars, roads, and even New York City into the sky. Muster a crew, master tactical turn-based combat, and unravel the dark secrets lurking beneath the floating metropolis.
