Hello, friends!

My name is isaac and I love writing and designing games, narratively.
I have yet to secure my first Games Industry job, so I’m working on no less than seven volunteer indie projects at a time, playing a tantalizing game of chicken with my psyche and unemployment benefits.

jisaacgadient.bsky.social•195 days ago

jisaacgadient.bsky.social•195 days ago

And don't my blood pressure know it

devindoyle.bsky.social•196 days ago

I mean, I've dabbled in games writing...

Hullo!

englishscribe.bsky.social•196 days ago

Full-body immersion in a tsunami counts as more than dabbling...

marri.bsky.social•196 days ago

Hello I am here~ 👋

skpeacock.bsky.social•196 days ago

Hello! I'm doing my best to go from dabbling in games writing to whatever it is that comes after dabbling :)

englishscribe.bsky.social•196 days ago

That would be dabbling with intent, which is the name for full-time gamewriting.

skpeacock.bsky.social•196 days ago

Ah, good to know! Will be updating my business card post-haste.
