By the way this IGF Excellence in Narrative nominated writer (twice!) is still looking for work in 2026 👋
Hi I'm Pierre Corbinais, I'm a veteran game writer and narrative designer and I'll be looking for freelance work starting September.
I love writing dialogues that make you laugh, cry or both in the same time.

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
