Here now, I guess? // I make videogames // I play music // Narrative Design, Bass, Sailing, Sythestizers, Trans Sisters // woah more space: Trans Rights, Black lives matter and every child matters, Decolonize fucking everything, Climate justice, hell yeah
My GDC talk got moved to the FREE part of the vault! 🆓
It offers 3 flexible design strategies, and also a little post-mortem of our 2022 weirdo walking simulator "Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between" 👾 which utilized all of the strategies. Oh! Also there's chill music, so enjoy the vibes! 🎶

I didn't quite have time to beat both Bloodborne and Armored Core 6 NG+ last week, so after my music stream this morning, I'll be back at it to finish the Liberator of Rubicon (good) ending.
Let's liberate a planet in a giant mecha!
Tune in at Noon PST:

Screenshot from the NG++ ending of Armored Core 6, it shows two flying mechs and one large armored core ready to face off against the protagonist.
It's time to finish this, Raven!
Tune in at NOON PST to see the epic conclusion of Armored Core 6 AND Bloodborne NG+ as I wrap up my spooky roleplaying crossover run on Twitch.
Come help me decide if I should go for the Liberator of Rubicon Ending or Coral Release!

Spooky victorian horror game Bloodborne. A still image from the Hunter's Nightmare area of the game.

Sheeee's baaaack~ 😆🔪🩸
Today I'm doing a big spooky stream in honour of Halloween. I'll try my hand at beating the bulk of Bloodborne AND Armored Core 6 NG+ in one sitting
I'm weaving a nerdy roleplaying crossover story between them, so tune in if that sounds fun 🤓

I'm back with more spooky-yet-chill John Carpenter-inspired synth jams, starting in 5 minutes: www.twitch.tv/silverstring...
Then at noon, I'll be continuing my Bloodborne/Armored Core 6 crossover challenge run. When Walter says "Get Some Rest, 621" I have to speedrun the next section of Bloodborne
looking forward to it!

Going to be doing something extra, and spooky, after my regular 10am music stream this morning...

A Steam review of Glitchhikers: The Spaces Between, that starts: "I find myself coming back Glitchhikers at critical junctures in my life. I've played it after the most difficult set of finals I've ever taken, after getting diagnosed with a chronic illness, after the death of a pet, among other times. This isn't the kind of game I pick up casually whenever or play for a long time. It's more like the moment I get to exhale after holding my breath. The various journeys you go on and travelers you meet are diverse, but all consistent enough in tone that you always know playing will be relaxing and contemplative. There are travelers I've found I've responded differently to at various points in my life, and travelers I've found I always agree with in the same ways. This game feels like having an infrequent but important conversation with an old friend.
This is such a wonderful review of Glitchhikers, that really validates what we were trying to do 🥰 Thank you GardenBairn!

This image is the Glitchhikers key art. It features a road in 1-point-perspective, fading off into distant and abstratctly tessellated mountains.To the right is a mysterious but inviting convenience store, with the shop's Clerk silhouetted in the window.

the last Civ 6 "roleplay" campaign Lucas and Devin did on Twitch was AWESOME. I don't even play Civ and I loved watching it.
Definitely recommend tuning in to this new one tonight, if you are at all into strategy games and narrative
yooo if anyone wants to check out the game i made & support some queer game devs at the same time, now is a great time to buy Glitchhikers ✨🚗🚊🏞️🛫✨

A glitchy and scanline filled scene of a park bench at night with a one-eyed alien sitting on it.
So I've been doing regular "Friday Cooldown Jams" on Twitch.tv/silverstringmedia for a while now. They're a chill way to hang out, occasionally chat gamedev, and mostly relax to ambient and light EDM music improvised live by yours truly.
Every Friday, 9-11AM PT
Hope to see you there~
