this is so so so good i love demonschool
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

@dietdeitz.bsky.social thank you for consistently ripping my writing apart and holding me accountable to Do Better (affectionate)
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.

So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

curiosity has struck after a conversation touching on this, so:

is there any word that you would associate me with?

open to anything, genuinely curious

DID YOU KNOW that Sidequest has a zine compiling some of our favorite pieces from the first decade (ish) of our existence? For just $5, you can get a beautifully designed example of some of the pieces we think best showcase our whole "thing."

I'm actively freelancing again at a variety of websites but still looking for more steady work. If you need a writer with clear communication skills who also have experience working studio marketing and social media management...

Well, lemme tell you about this gal Harper!
News from me! Last week was my last week at Double Fine. It was an exciting time and I am very grateful to have learned so much at a beloved studio.

This means I am looking for work! If you need someone with social media/community expertise, please reach out.

Eager to start a fresh adventure!

oh thank god more people can watch shin godzilla. i liked -1 but it got a bit nihon banzai at the end in a way i think a lot of americans missed, shin godzilla meanwhile reads as hideaki anno's personal grievance with the malaise of modern japanese neoliberalism and i love it for that

Ashley's contributions as the author of VA-11 Hall-A Design Works and journalist/critic stand out in how she approaches what could be uncomfortable truths through a reflective lens as a fan and digging into the minutiae to great effect toward what it means. Any outlet would be blessed to have her.
