been working on this game for a couple months now, and hadn't really settled on the PC gender yet. a couple of NPCs call them "fella/fellow/lad" and that felt right but wasn't also totally locked in. then another NPC says "aren't topsail girls usually girls" and went "oh!"

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.

No email from a library system stirs the imagination like a notice my scan is ready to download through WORLDCAT. The great cat that surrounds the world? That nuzzles the roots of the world-scratching-tree? The great world cat who is and was and shall be? That cat???

i love using scrivener for my longform writing and this just confirms they're the absolute goat
Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.
Remembering us is not enough.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.
