I am one of the editors for the upcoming Transaction on Games special issue :) The special issue is about "Multi-Modal Content Generation for Games." One topic that excites me the most is the orchestration between different facets of content generation.

Aww 💙Thank you for you lovely words. We did shed a few tears in our recording sessions with the spectacular actors! They really did a great job and we were lucky to have them!

I edited my playthrough of Sips and Sonnets by @bmmashat.bsky.social ! I took on the role of the sweet retired journalist, Ms. Meadows and found myself writing poems and chatting with interesting patrons in my tearoom. This was a lovely tale that tests if you pay attention or not!

Sips And Sonnets - a bittersweet tale filled with tea and stanzas!

Thanks so much for a key @bmmashat.bsky.social ! I just finished a play through of Sips and Sonnets despite having a few stream tech issues. It was really interesting to learn about tea, poetry, and different cultures. #visualnovel #cozystreamer

OK, for a thing I'm working on I've been thinking a lot about this question recently.

**Why keep making video games in a world on fire?**

If that’s been on your mind too, and you’re open to talking about it, please feel free to reach out - either here or at [email protected]
