Hey I did a panel with some amazing people called Show me the Scripts! where writers show off an aspect of writing and narrative design in games for #LudoNarraCon Check out the full line up at ludonarracon.com
It's #LudoNarracon season, and I'll be doing my first talk there with @subliminalman and @thewritegame about how we approach narrative design in our scripts and games! I'll be talking about some fun Spirit Swap stuff so I hope you'll watch ✨✨✨
Thinking about this Ethan Hawke interview
FUCK YEAH TOOONNNYYYY. @graysonZ80!!!
@Tomohik0o Let's all love Lain. 💖✨
Goodbye Apex Legends 👋 It sucks that it's goodbye but I'm glad I got to work with a team and on a project that makes it so hard to say it. I can't believe the amount of people who reached out when I first announced it. You all are the best. 🫰

Burnout in games is long overdue for deeper scrutiny & discussions; this terrific, well-researched breakdown of the causes, myths, & potential company-wide solutions for burnout is essential viewing for ICs, leads, & managers. Big thanks to @thewritegame & @Eeoor <3

7K Followers 5K Following Lecturer, & author of Granular Modernism (OUP, 2014) and Modernism’s Whims (forthcoming from OUP, 2025). Email: [email protected].I dig a little more into this feeling in my most recent newsletter - subscribe via the link in my bio so I can spend less time on this hellsite. It's free! And it means I can share more about the process behind the indie comedy series I'm in the midst of making right now!
However you can do it: try to share your creativity with a wider audience.
I think this all feels especially pertinent if, like me, you're a comedy writer. My friend @VelvetBarnes put it very smartly to me today: "it's easy to convince five execs that something is dramatic, it's hard to convince five execs that something is funny".
Sure, if your show or movie actually gets MADE - great! You get it in front of an audience! You learn a lot! But... for most of us, that doesn't happen often. Usually it takes years to come out. Sometimes we're stuck in development, trying to please our tiny audience of execs.
If you are, or want to be a screenwriter, I think it's vital that you develop your creative voice beyond just churning out pilot after pilot and sending them to your reps. Even if it's in a different (more affordable) medium entirely: find a way to make something and share it.
More to the point: you can't be expected to develop your voice and find an audience of people who love your work if so much of what you create only ever gets seen by, what, thirty industry people? Max?
There's nothing wrong with this being a *business* - it needs to make money, and that usually means making shows and films with the broadest possible appeal. But the great thing about art is that it *isn't* always for everyone, but it might *really* be for you.
The general public don't read screenplays. So unless you can find a way to make your own work, your screenplays are increasingly written for an "audience" that is, at best, prioritises marketability over telling stories.
Growing as an artist of any kind requires you to put your art out into the world - to have it read, seen, heard, experienced. But screenwriting is dependent on the resources and permission of so many other people before it becomes the film it's meant to be.
One hard thing about being a screenwriter is that your creative expression is limited to an audience largely comprised of execs and reps. Limiting your art's exposure to a small group with specific business agendas is not a good way to grow as a creative.

Hard to believe it's a year since Jedi: Survivor released. Still a professional and personal high point for me. A lot can - and has - changed in a year, yet I'll always remember the team I made this game with, and what a joy it was to make it with them. Here's to the future!
One year ago today, we embarked on an epic adventure with #StarWarsJediSurvivor! What was your favorite moment from the game?
