Amy-Leigh Shaw

I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.

A green to purple gradient background with white writing, some in the shape of a circle, some within that circle. The circular writing reads: “Let’s talk : Story & Narrative : Let’s talk : Online-only : Let’s talk : 9th - 13th of March” The text inside the circle reads: “Hey! I’m Amy-Leigh. I’m a writer & narrative designer. I won’t be at GDC this year, so instead I’m making space for calls. Want to chat? Reach out, and we’ll find a good time. TTFN!”

✨📝 NOT GOING TO GDC? 📝✨

Or maybe you are, & you were hoping to catch me there?

I won’t be attending GDC this year, so if you were hoping to chat about writing & narrative design, I’m keeping some slots free for calls in my calendar for the 9th-13th of March.

Just let me know! 💛

Zangoose, I choose you!

"Zangoose is ignoring you"
"Zangoose drinks all your Potions"

“Zangoose stole your pokeball!”
“Zangoose put YOU in the pokeball!”

"what?! Zangoose is evolving!"
"Zangoose is now....Horrible Zangoose!"
"Zangoose is trying to learn Honk!"

“It’s a lovely day in the town, and you are a horrible Zangoose.”

*Sobbing miserably* I have to hand it to Metacritic

The message being; hope and progressive policy are what most people want.

“Unfair elections are when people are provided a candidate they feel accurately represents them, and then votes for them in a majority”

Sure pal. Now off you go. You’ve got a long drive home.

HAPPY FUCKING FRIDAY!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Self-worth and personal development aren’t banks of resource that fill up or empty out - any mountains you’ve climbed are still behind you, even if things are feeling steep again right now!

They made this whole shade of green just for her!!!

Okay, I swear I am not trying to be messy. This company has already shuttered and the game Burbank is not coming out. However, I'm a little wary about the use of GenAI how it was waved away. Writers are important. Necessary. You can't replace them. You can only steal from them.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

It feels out of fashion but a reminder that if you want to be a woman you can just be one.

A wistful #WishlistWednesday.

Mandrake is a rural life sim, and our first game to feature actual weather.

And it’s to their own detriment, too! They deem the people around them so unworthy, so undeserving, that they’re willing to let their own surroundings crumble and moulder just to deny others.

In other countries, the government simply pays you to make art. Because they’ve deemed it a value to society. Opera singers, artists, etc., all government employees.

Every failing of society, every question of profitability—it all boils down to a lack of will to deliver, not capacity

Hey! You’re doing okay. We’re all doing okay. Keep going.

Hey! You’re doing okay. We’re all doing okay. Keep going.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.
