@tommyhanusa.bsky.socialI wrote another blog post on immersive sims, and the limits and opportunities it has for narratives.
Spoiler: I think more imm sim developers should read a Rationalist Fiction or two.

@exquisite-corpse-x.bsky.socialTurns out I haven't really shared this anywhere, so I suppose I should put it here since I'm trying to make an effort with this whole Bluesky thing!
Behold, 'The Static Signal'! A game about being a proper shithead.

@dean-ravenola.bsky.socialThanks to #SDCC and the passionate #Neopets fans who’ve reach out to me, I’m finding myself very grateful and grounded lately.
When I get a chance, I’ll try to share some behind the scenes snippets from the work our #narrativedesign team put into the plot!

@tinginthehouse.bsky.socialMasterful morality design never hands players a graded report card—it traps them in ambiguous dilemmas and forces them to carry the true weight of their choices.

@jalexandercohen.comWHY 'ERROR-CHECKING' IS BAD
#UI #UX #narrativedesign #coding
Syntax is too unforgiving. If I have the 'check as you type' feature turned on, I don't want the system suggesting something in somatic red interrupting my flow. Ever.
Humans make mistakes constantly. They use unfamiliar terms too.

@tarinoi.bsky.socialKeep your cards close with our graph shortcuts - one for different node types, another for your entities. The default card for an entity can be customised as well, so they're ready to go with a click.
Added or removed entities from this board? Sync up!
@allworms.bsky.socialNew (reposted) article on In Brackets.
This is about staying sane while dealing with interactivity vs non-linearity. The terminology and applications are quite insane.
@compromisedev.bsky.socialI love my dev tools ❤️
Flow Map of a case in Compromised Investigator, now with real playtest data laid on top and with previews of the events, and the arrows show how the runs split at each choice 🥰
Thicker the arrow, the more players went that way!
@tarinoi.bsky.socialAs we prepare for our closed beta, here's a peek at our latest Release Notes - major changes, bug fixes and everything in between. We're implementing your suggestions, tightening up the interactions and user journeys and adding extra quality-of-life improvements.
@tinginthehouse.bsky.socialNothing was wrong with the scenes. The problem was I hadn't found what they were repeating.
@lepasoft.bsky.socialLSDE 2.6.0 is out!
- Cards can point to their name key per language
- Blueprint Reader colors quoted names and voices them mid-line
- Declined names (Russian & co.)
- Voices: one take per line, character filter

@compromisedev.bsky.socialRewriting continues!
No longer just swapping a few words based on your character state.
Fully custom event descriptions!
Really need to sell the different world Day and Night creatures live in❤️
Taking ages, but I love writing, and it's worth the time spent 🥰
@thefargo.bsky.socialLots of new followers lately! Reposting something of interest to RPG and narrative designers - a breakdown of some of the storytelling work I did in Southern Barrens for World of Warcraft. #GameDev #NarrativeDesign #WoW
@tarinoi.bsky.socialWe understand that the little details matter - so we've added alignment guides which show up when dragging and snapping your nodes into place.
@ebonstorm.bsky.socialA narrative designer must also ask: “How does the player experience, interact with, alter, discover, and understand that story through the systems of the game?”
That's why I added Narrative Systems & Design Thinking as its own foundational layer.
