Hey! 👋 I’m Amy-Leigh, and I’m a Writer & Narrative Designer at Sweet Baby Inc. 🍬 I like nature, bad jokes and weird stories, and I’ve heard I’m pretty friendly 👀 so if that sounds like your vibe, you came to the right place! 💛

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

"This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable...Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. A terrible dimension of bad takes. Next stop....The Harassment Zone."

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

Somehow the problems of the world seem a tiny bit smaller when you’re playing a cozy, survival game about a mouse trying to make it through the winter 😌🤍

We got to the blue dye and I didn’t need any further context, thank you for sharing this fragment of lore with me.

I think I’m now finally allowed to say: I was so honoured to be ✨shortlisted for the Channel 4 Writers For TV Award✨ this year!

The process was so much fun, and I had a great time talking through one of my more beloved miniseries ideas! Thanks and congratulations to all involved! 💛 😘

But don’t worry, my gorgeous Toronto group chat just got a terrible audio message of me saying “teh-ronno” over and over again 🤭

Amy-Leigh Shaw @diveamydive.bsky.social · 1d

Less that, more that it sounds so unnatural as to immediately sound like I’m putting on a (bad) accent!

Amy-Leigh Shaw @diveamydive.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, my traitorous UK tongue will *not* let me hit a “ronno”, unfortunately 🥲

“Damn, is that Amy-Leigh? Who has written and worked on story for over a dozen games projects, and given multiple talks on interactive narratives on international stages like GDC and Develop? And is STILL too awkward to introduce herself directly???”

“Wow, Amy-Leigh, you’re heading to the ✨Immersive Experience Network Summit✨ this month?”

“Why, yes! Yes I am!”

“Hey, sure we can! You just let me know you’d like to chat, and we can grab a drink and talk all things Writing & Narrative Design!🥰”

You have Pavlov’s dogged me into feeling happiness at the sight of that little hen, because I know I’m probably about to read something good!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

If I catch you trying to hurt random people - following, not following, I don’t care - you’re outta here.

I beg everybody to remember the humanity of others. And when someone tells you to *hate* another person, investigate *why* deeply within yourself. I swear it’ll make you a better person.

I get a lot of people asking how they could support us, and this is one of the ways: be one of the kind, positive people who listens to our interviews, who shares our voice in good faith whenever you can. You can seize our voice back for us. Seriously.

It was such a pleasure to sit down a little while ago for the Hungama Game Changers: Leadership Series, and now it’s finally here! 💚
We hope you enjoy Kim’s chat with the incredible Raunaq Roy as much as we did. Check it out! 🥰🍬

2 years of pain that never heals, of children who slept and never woke up.
2 years of ashes,of tents,of cold, hunger & fear.
2 years where even the sky can no longer tell the difference between night and blood...
Yet despite the pain, we believe that justice will come, no matter how long it takes.💔
