It's perilous to let the writers on your team write you in a trailer because they will gleefully Observe you. Craftwise, no notes. Accurate portrayal

The incredible soundtrack and sound design was by @ghoulnoise.com. Priscilla made *so much* amazing spooky music for this game, it's ridiculous.
You can find the full Spooky Express soundtrack and listen to Priscillaโs other work at ghoulnoisemusic.com

Please enjoy the incomplete tale of the โ60 year old roll of exposed film I found in a โhundred year old camera that ends with the reveal of some very sweet photos taken of a house, a cat, and a car.

Calling the apparent overlap between LLM slop, white-label sludge unproducts, jangling keys-style purely stimulatory content, etc etc etc, "post-thing theory" as in nothing is a thing any more

pre-production: you have concepts of a cow
production: the second cow is a Jira epic that has been fully backlogged
post-release support: you have a roadmap that claims the second cow is coming in the fall of 2027

A sign reading "I have not read this Katamari book, and also I don't remember 100% what I told to L.E. Hall in the interviews. But I would recommend this book irresponsibly." -Keita Takahashi, creator of Katamari Damacy
The cover of Katamari Damacy by L.E. Hall, from Boss Fight Books. It shows a penguin being menaced by a giant sticky ball of tape
Still the greatest endorsement of all time

This is a good post about its specific subject and a great post about how to do anything cool on game production deadlines without having it get cut (being very intentional about where you drop the quality bar)

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 โย in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

I have worked with Laura a ton and there's no one more dependable. Completely hilarious and professional. Can adapt to anything. When I see an impossible narrative obstacle down the tracks I try to get Laura hired so the train doesn't derail.

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!

Do you love spooky? Are you a freak for singing saw? Are you scrambling to put together a playlist for your Halloween costume party? LOVE TRAINS? Are you secretly a ghost, ghoul, or goblin?

There's no way to convey sexual tension except by having two characters fall or be knocked over, with one landing on top of the other with their faces an inch apart. We've made a lot of fiction but that's the only technique that exists
