Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.
Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I'm still looking for full-time or contract work – I'm a narrative design generalist with credits on multiple shipped titles. I focus on taming the complexity of narrative systems, writing prose, and leading narrative teams.

I did localization editing on it, with several of my friends. We polished the English language game text.
If you've ever been interested in Pathologic, you can start with this one - no need to play 2 first. (But you should play both!!!) store.steampowered.com/app/3199650/...

If you use generative AI to "explore ideas" you are mentally weaker than even the smallest child. If you feel that you need generative AI to "structure your thoughts" you lack the confidence of an 8 year old. If you feel shame about your diminished inner world, you should. You're bad at daydreaming

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

If I ever get to a point where I'm constantly relitigating the same sophomoric philosophical questions that obsessed and animated me in my early career, yelling into the void as the world moves on, birthing countless new delights which I am simply too withered to enjoy... just drop an anvil on me

Hahahaha I'm sorry!! But yeah if I start feeling like I do't want to write I just make myself do it anyway... the trick is having the unearned confidence that at least some of your stuff will be interesting to someone even if you write it while cringing and crying hahaha
