I’m so sorry George. Sending love to you and the family 💜

Finally started Ghost of Yotei, and damn. What an opening hour!

Loving the atmosphere and sense of adventure. Really hope the sense of freedom and promise of non-linear narrative structure is upheld.

Had a lovely chat with George Blagden at Dinard Film Fest about his new film The Run.

But I had to mention his role as Fire Knight Queelign in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Was not expecting the following conversation!

Full @filmhounds.co.uk interview coming soon.

And I’m also supporting @seriouspointgames.bsky.social with their upcoming murder mystery title. Been giving feedback on the wider narrative, writing branching scenes, and leading the story development of the announcement trailer coming soon… 👀

Have been assisting as a writer on @fairergames.bsky.social’ Brewess; a historical narrative adventure title where players run a tavern (with the help of their cat) in 1500s Norwich.

Been LOTS of progress behind the scenes…

With all these wonderful new followers, suppose I better talk about the game projects I’ve been lucky to be a part of!

Wonder what the Venn diagram is of people boycotting Disney who are now fawning over and sharing the Mando & Grogu trailer.

Gavin Spoors @supergavigator.bsky.social · 25d

It’s why I’m always busy and frantic and tired at the screenings!

Gavin Spoors @supergavigator.bsky.social · 26d

Crikey, LOTS of new followers! 👋🏻

Hey! I’m Gavin, a games writer/story designer with an IG50 award to my name.

I’m currently working with Serious Point and Fairer Games on their awesome projects; but I’m very much open to take on paid writing and narrative work.

It’s such a heavy, scary time to be a Black person or a minority in the UK and US right now. More and more people are done hiding their hate and bigotry. Check in on us, and each other.

Also got a new interview out with @moviemarker.bsky.social!

Had a chat with Solo director Sophie Dupuis and actor Felix Maritaud. One of my favourite interviews; was a lot of fun but also rather profound.

Interview With Director Sophie Dupuis/Actor Felix Maritaud (Solo)

It’s been a long journey for queer drama Solo. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival back in 2023, UK audiences can finally see the French-Canadian feature in cinemas later this week (...

Latest @filmhounds.co.uk review is a weird one…

Ebony & Ivory is not the Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder biopic you might think it is. Out in cinemas this Friday!
filmhounds.co.uk/2025/09/ebon...

Ebony & Ivory (Film Review)

Ebony & Ivory is juvenile and plain weird, yes, but it’s a fun hangout movie that cements Hosking as a singular and unique voice.
