The funny thing about writing as a medium is that it's so hard to plant a detail subtly. Whenever I see a line like "He decides it's probably nothing" that's an immediate tip-off to the fact that IT'S DEFINITELY NOT NOTHING

As someone who has been on Chinese social media for years, especially during the "River Crab" era, TikTok's about to find out real fast that censoring words does nothing lol

So excited to be working with Wings on our new game!!! Let's get ready for the ball💃💃💃

gaming is only books if the game has a defined ending and then you sit back and think about it

Yes actually by all means! 👀👀👀

The people (me) yearn for more roguelike deckbuilders with unique art direction plz

I feel personally attacked by this post

As a translator, sometimes I get mad at whoever wrote the game for coming up with a truly stupid amount of puns, and then I remember it was me, I wrote the game

💕Aw thank you!

Games on Steam and consoles don't have to get a license, so we don't have to censor stuff unlike mobile. However, it is true that the official approval process is very opaque and lacks clear guidelines, so game studios sometimes are more overzealous when it comes to self-censoring.

Dance of Theseus' game launch page. "New game" button is a hand grabbing a golden apple, "continue" is the brain attached to a nervous system, "Settings" is torso with internal organs, and "exit" is a wing extended

In keeping with the theme, all buttons on Dance of Theseus' title page are symbolized by body parts.

Tiny Chef christmas video with auto-captioning saying "But I just want to kill you tonight".

Whoa Tiny Chef are you sure

A black and white body made of whale-like skeleton, with long veils, evoking the image of a Victorian Widow. Text says: "Grieving is an experience, but mourning is a performance."

Death Becomes Her.

OMG she is so cuuuuuuute

My steam replay. Top 4 games being Divinity Original Sin 2, Field of Mistria, Tiny Pasture, Sultan's Game, Roots of Pacha

Guess who was getting into (read: addicted to) Divinity Original Sin 2 before Larian came out with the new announcement

The suit "Heartfelt Vow" in Dance of Theseus, featuring a white-and-red bridal ensemble with an open, beating heart, bony hands, a bouquet of eyeballs and an open brain.

The suit "Mate Eater" in dance of theseus, inspired by Praying Mantis design

The suit "Heavy Metal" in Dance of Theseus, featuring a lot of piercings and a dress made of spiky metal

Upcoming in Dance of Theseus, an indie monster dress-up sim I'm working on:

(I think sometimes we ask ourselves: would someone put this in the Nikki games? No? Then it's our territory lol)

Just started playing Divinity Original Sin 2 last month and honestly the elf thing might be my favorite narrative character trait in any game ever, I've been feeding everything to Sebille

Like... having to have a failsafe, canned response just in case every other potential interaction failed? Having people assume something in the background is meaningful and want to interact with them? Engineering a character's personality to be uncoorporative to cover up the gameplay limitations?

Slowly working my way through the new Defunctland Living Characters video and some of the challenges and solutions covered in the video are so incredibly interesting to me, because they are the exact same ones we face as video game narrative designers!

Jenny and I visited the ACMI museum in Melbourne last year, it was incredible! We learned about phenakistoscope discs there, and it inspired this day-to-night transition in Dance of Theseus. #indiegamedev #art #animation

Chrome can now read web pages aloud

Ooooh I just know a 40k monster one-shot fic in AO3 is gonna hate to see me coming now

(Tumblr, kosmo-mckogane): rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)" vancityfire13: I am also “damn, girl, you wrote this? (forgetful)”

Guess who I found today!!!!!

Digging this back up now because it's 10x funnier with the additional context of what game I'm currently making

Making video games has changed me, because the patience and delayed gratification required in making a video game is INSANE. Now I've written, like, 60k words of fanfic just for fun and have not posted any of it yet. High school me could never fathom.

太感谢了！❤️❤️❤️

Ahhh thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
