I’m so glad you liked it! What a lovely start to my morning, thank you :)

I can’t believe launch day is finally here! Really proud of my work on the main story, on characters like Phyre, Lou, Safia, Benny, Ysabella, Ryong etc, and on the dialogue reactivity system. In particular, I can’t wait until folks hit one of my favourite babies: That SceneTM 👀

Well done, team!

Not sure how I pulled this off while planning a wedding but I somehow got a high first for my dissertation and for my MA overall! And to top it off, the anthology I’m part of launches tomorrow, as does Bloodlines 2 — the game I parked my MA to finish writing 🤯

Mr & Mrs Longthorne-Pitcher, est. 20/09/25

I’m getting married next month 🫨🥳

Thrilled to have submitted the first POV chapter from my literary fantasy series UTHERVOLD for this year’s UEA anthology to be published this autumn!

"The dialogue and relationship systems all elegantly reinforce the fact that Bloodlines 2 is an investigative kind of RPG—something it shares with my all-time fave, Disco Elysium. Imagine Raymond Chandler spliced with Anne Rice and you're getting it." 🥳

Just submitted my short story small_hills for a prestigious literary magazine after my MA emboldened me with a high distinction 🤩

I’ve never submitted for magazines before so 🤞🏻👀

Also, I have a new insta! I’ll be posting about both prose and game dev, so give me a follow:

I finally made it to this killer milestone! (And somehow thought to check my word count at exactly the right moment?)

ok here is the thing about making a video game.

a good idea needs every person on the team to align around it and make it happen.

a bad idea only needs one person.

and you have to do this every day.

Tip for writers trying to break into games from other media: Don't pitch yourself as the fix for all the "terrible writing in video games." You're not making the impression you think you are ☠️
