Every time someone boots up Yakuza 0 for the first time a Narrative Designer gets its wings

I can't stop thinking about her... #anglerfish

hi folks! I’m urgently looking for game writing and narrative design work. I’ve been in the industry for over 5 years, have AAA and indie experience, and love working as part of a team. I also do editing and consulting work! ✨ www.nessacannon.com

Hello, everyone, our Kickstarter page is up! The idea of the game is falling in love, and learning about consent. The game has a LGBTA disabled cast. If you care about the game or the message, please share! www.kickstarter.com/projects/alt... #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #datingsim #kickstarter

Hey, so we would like starting interviews with people from the #disability #mentalillness community to do research on the disabled characters in our game. If you know anyone who is disabled, are disabled, or can recommend this to someone, please do! DM me! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Now’s a good as time as any to announce I’m the writer for After Work!! Keep an eye out for updates as this game’s journey continues!

Please treat game developers with respect. You have no idea of what they are advocating for you on your behalf and by being toxic or negative and forcing them to make changes and playing armchair gamedev you are inevitably pushing your BIGGEST CHAMPIONS out of the room.

This!!! Sometimes when I’m reading or playing a game that includes content that confuses me, I feel stupid for not understanding on the first go around. But I’ve come to realize that it’s just another learning opportunity, and that it’s okay to not know/understand everything!

You ever just write a line and think “oh bitch I ate that up” On a recent LinkedIn post I said “To any game studios reading this: I danced through the flames and made it out the other side. I don the fires that burned me like a royal cloak” like where did that come from?? Surprised myself lol

Is it a true holiday break with your family if one of you doesn’t get violently ill during the week? (That someone was me this time around and was bedridden for over a day 🫠)

If you made an interactive fiction game this year, consider submitting it to this showcase itch.io/jam/interact...

'Twas the night before Crit-mas, through the map's many routes, Not a monster was stirring, not even a Louse 🐛 The relics were hung above the rest site's warm fire, In the hopes that a Slayer would conquer the Spire 🔥

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! I hope you all get to spend it with your loved ones and enjoy a day of warmth! 🎄

if you’re rude to a retail worker you should be forced to work the entire Christmas holiday

I survived my hell shift and tomorrow I get to fly home and see my family and my dog who will give me kisses for approximately 5 seconds before she’ll realize that the bed she’s been using since I’ve been gone (my childhood bed) will be inhabited and thus will lose all joy at my return

Just finished reading the final tf2 comic, and all I can say is that my 17 year old self who read the penultimate comic can rest easy now knowing it ended 🥲

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY

Friday at last…

I won an award for my game Parabiosis during a narrative game jam!! I needed a way to hook players into a text-based game, and I think this intro did a damn fine job of doing so!

Every time I get an idea for a game I get so excited, until it comes time for me to write it down and then whoops! I slip and fall onto my computer which just so happens to open up Disco Elysium, which I mean, now that I’m here…

Congratulations Astro Bot!!! 🤖💫

This is my first time being able to tune into the game awards: did they always speed through the awards that fast???? #gamedev #thegameawards

Is it worth it to apply for positions that require more years of experience than you have? A lot of places say to do it anyway but I always submit with the feeling that I’m going to get outclassed anyway (Not a jab at this company specifically, it’s the 1st example I saw!) #gamedev #narrativedesign

Bluesky is so amazing, I get to interact with the equivalent of game dev celebrities in an uplifting environment?? Everyone wants to help and support each other?? As someone with a few years of experience trying to re-enter the industry it’s so encouraging 🥲 #gamedev #gamewriting

When I’m not writing and browsing for jobs, I’m crocheting amigurumi creations to be piled onto each other on a small side table 😅 #gamewriting #gamedev

She calls to me when I most want to be productive… alas, her siren’s song of fishing and farming is too enchanting to resist

Carrd pro plan my love, thank you for finally allowing me to put actual screenshots of my writing in game and have separate pages for my games!! (A not so subtle message that I am still available for narrative design and game writing work!) #gamedev leilanikaiser.carrd.co
