Welp, Im a casualty from last weeks Stockholm Gamedev Bloodbath
10+yrs makin stuff, "an unstoppable creative force" & "patient, clear, & deft at design"
Here for creative leadership, game design, narrative, & good-trouble-making roles so reach out if you need me
linkedin.com/in/acegiak & acegiak.net

it is insane to me that you could basically get two narrative designers who can basically solve any problem within scope constraints. it’s like having people parachute in to rescue whatever you need fixing far beyond what you thought you could get

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!

Tentatively did some writing this morning at the tail end of covid, now in need of a lie down. Still, feeling good that I could focus that long - the brain fog plus general pain and horribleness last week was awful

Happy birthday, that sounds so lovely!

Communal ossuary. Observatory of the dead. Possibly both, neither or more. There are portal dolmen which refuse us certainty. As archaeologists we are never immune to mystery. Our dance with it is delight. Our dance with it is the Long Neolithic manifesting. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Don’t wanna piggyback someone’s perfectly good post with book promo, but lrp:

Might I suggest The Woods All Black, an historical Appalachian gothic set in the late ‘20s that explores gender, sexuality, and trans/queer bodily autonomy? It’s also (1) horny (2) spooky and (3) a bash-back revenge story

I don't remember that one but I do recall Hive being a big thing for about five minutes

the floods of tears I was in at the end of John Quixote (I think that's the episode...)

I adore Zhaan so much 😭

Illustration of a WWI French soldier in a field of tall grass. He has a prosthetic arm and mask on, and is ablaze too. The weather is foggy and behind him lies church ruins. The tones are blue and orange

Digital illustration of a young woman with long, silver hair and wooden antlers, poking out of her skull and eye sockets. In between her open hands, and all over her face, red rot is crawling reminiscent of guts He's wearing a thick jumper with "Sarajevo 1984" in reference to the 1984 Sarajevo olympics

Heidi is a wonderful, brilliant person and what she's been through is devastating.

Oh I'm so looking forward to it!

Relatedly when things like recommendation lists and bigger-figure deals for stories about queer men are populated largely (or sometimes entirely!) by folks who aren’t themselves queer men and-or mascs… perhaps some reflection on presence, access, and whose voices/experiences are valued is in order

I know it’s preaching to the choir but it does make me feel a way that publishing at large is monetizing fanfiction more and more brazenly these days—but notably and almost exclusively *straight* fanfiction

Once again the question of who gets to profit and who gets to survive/thrive on their work,
