A game designer's work is never finished, especially if they are not even making the game.

"Legal Projection Routes" published by the Glory Transport Board. It looks like a metro map of some kind with non-connecting "lines" labelled Lane, Street, Motorway, Subterranea, River, Liminal, Crescent and Sightsee.

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!

Sound on for The Railway Children (1970). It looks like a folk horror film, so I added scary noises to the trailer. Listen to me and @eleanormorton.bsky.social for more: linktr.ee/readthat

Probably not advisable to log into my Google account at work as it has just popped up with two of my recent searches. To be helpful.

There are three bullets.

There will always be at least one bullet which displays only true statements.

If you don't have it yet you should pick it up now in case they try to do a shitter move and have the free/cheap editions pulled to juice the remaster's numbers later.

CRACKS (1975): Legendary Sesame Street animation that was, for decades, considered lost media until it popped up on YouTube. Creepy, queasy, and wonderfully weird, it features legendary sax player Mel Martin and Dorothy Moskowitz from experimental rock band The United States of America.
