Games Narrative friends, are there any Games Writing or Narrative Design resources you swear by? I'm making a google sheet of resources for a mentee (which I will post publicly once its done!) I've already got @/emshort's blog and the Supergiant GDC talks!

Meet Chase Pyrite, a rising and quite stoic fighter in the Crystal Corps. His main goal is slaying monsters, and can't comprehend why Team Y would defend a vampire. You'll encounter him often — both as friend and foe!

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'm compiling these and other resources and will release it in a few weeks after I get some feedback from my mentee :)

Games Writing a lot of the story/lore/words you see in games. However it's ALSO:
- The research beforehand to make sure those words make sense
- Making sure things fit narratively even if two key bosses were just cut an hour ago
- making dialogue that *fits* in the text box
Game Devs, what are some common misconceptions of our industry as a whole or a specific part of work you do?
I wanna use this question as a way to educate those who do not work in our field and possibly shed some light on common thoughts that aren't correct.

It always saddens me when games dismiss love interests and dating sims; creating well-rounded characters so loved by players they want to engage with them romantically is good narrative design! If only there were a talk about this... At a conference like GDC 2024...

Horror is my bread, and pathetic characters are my butter. Let’s be violent.
Games writing isn't easier than other writing because it's games - you have to consider the player (and no two players are the same so player variation as well!), the bandwidth of the team, the budget, and make the best of what you have while people are like "writing is easy lol"
I got a lovely commission of Team Y from
@vulpixelart
! These three [Jaxter, Yiesha, & Kiojah] have many exciting adventures in store, and I can't to share them with you all ❤️💛💚
-Microsoft lays off 1,900 Activision Blizzard and Xbox employees
-Blizzard president Mike Ybarra leaves the company
-Blizzard chief design officer Allen Adham leaves the company
-Blizzard's previously announced survival game is cancelled
Writing every day is good and whatever, but nothing really helped me like reading more. The more stories you know, the more ways you can tell your own.

The CDC is no longer recommending Americans to stay home after testing positive for COVID-19, a major shift in policy that comes as much of the country has moved on from the height of the pandemic.

This is character art from Yiesha's Odyssey, a turn-based Afro-Carribean and Queer RPG that I'm developing! It's in the early stages, but it has a grand story about making your fate, dateable companions, and a pet turtle!🐢
