Someone is making a Tiny Bookshop-like/sequel right now but it’s set in a local videogame store in the early 90s and it’s going to sell a hundred million copies.

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!
