sometimes #WhatAGameDevLooksLike is a 5β4β she/they with excellent takes on kingdom hearts and questionable decisions in her roguelike runs.
so happy to be 4+ years into launching games on the marketing/social side of things and nowhere near done! β€οΈ
is it my time for #WhatAGameDevLooksLike?!
i normally don't consider myself a "game dev" because i design services, not gameplay. but lately i've been working on [NDA REQUIRED] for [REDACTED], so... maybe?
I love FD Signifierβs videos and I know how talking about covid in your work can make it bomb in the worst way, so I hope people take the time to watch this one.

Hi I'm Ela, I design your game experiences, which means passionate yaps on data and having too many post-its with cryptic words and diagrams on my desk π€
I work in AAA which is funnily enough also my ongoing internal monologue screaming into the void

Seeing Indian News channels refer to that while they talk about all the interceptions they're doing over here because of that is slowly destroying my soul ._.
A screenshot of our upcoming city building game, Amberspire. A science fantasy city is steadily growing, with a number of Resource and Terrain buildings nestled among residential ones. At the city's edge are a number of weather tiles: Rust Bloom, Floodplains, and Slow Fog. In the lower left corner, a Fogbreaker is under construction.
Amberspire is out May 6th!

Happy Tuesday!

I am a narrative designer and have been since 2017, I have worked on various games from indie to AAA, right now I'm freelancing and I"ve been tentatively dipping into indie on the side... π
Showing up kind of late with that one same photo to say that this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike!
Iβve been a Writer & Narrative Designer for 5+ years now, and Iβve worked on everything from indie to AAA, in all kinds of genres!
I take my work VERY seriouslyβ¦ and myself, not seriously at all π
#WhatAGameDevLooksLike? ME!
Iβm a narrative designer and writer who loves telling human stories through fantastical lenses. Iβve been involved in a range of projects through Indie, AA, and even a book anthology!
Also, Iβm looking for my next role! Contract, full-time, remote; letβs talk!
So, I'm in a bind. My most expensive med isn't covered the same with this BS coverage I had to get when Aetna got out of the market place. I've got a refill that's gonna cost me $1100 for ONE MONTH's worth. So throwing the GFM back out with an updated goal. FML y'all.

"Then earth and fire and air and watery rage Then tree and flesh and stone did understand And know the law of Magister, shaman and sage Lord of the Old Time, ruler over beast and man." Castle Master has some deep lore written fully in verse by the odd and enigmatic Mel Croucher (often best know for the 1984 Deus Ex Machine), talking of ancient times in England where the omnipotent Magister ruled over everything, then the rise of mankind and their many civilizations that never last, and the Normans who built a mighty structure named Castle Eternity, made out of the very rock and soil that is the epicenter of the Magister's power while he slept for centuries and, after waking up, unleashing his magical fury and turning the king and all subjects into ghosts and beasts to haunt the halls of the castle. You choose your character, a prince or princess, as your sibling is imprisoned in Castle Eternity and your first task is to figure out how the hell you're supposed to enter the castle and avoid the deep moat with no more than a shark swimming in it!
Entering one of the huts full of hay bales, a pitchfork and a spirit in the form of a cute black bat with triangular red eyes. The earth shakes (or perhaps that's just you) when you encounter one of the inhabitants turned ghost and critter by the Magister with the message "SPIRITS!!" shown in the bottom part of the screen, and the only way to be victorious is to sling a rock with your slingshot at the spirits, probably because they're just not used to the idea and just flee.
Outside the castle is the Wizard's Hut, the home of a dirty and smelly old wizard that everyone ridiculed but in eventually learned was the Magister himself, risen back from his slumber. We see a the lowest of polygons (this game has very primitive but charming graphics) with a table and a chair with a six-pronged star and some cheese on the table. Let me tell ya, this game has A LOT of cheese to much on throughout the castle.
The castle stables, with a beautiful pinkish-red horse made out of like ten polygons, being a good boye. You open the gate of the stable so the horse can go free if it wants, but it kinda just looks like it wants some food and a pat on the head.
