On Sep 12th we’re launching a new narrative design course.
13 weeks long. Full online with live calls and exciting assignments!
If you want to make something that includes audience/player collaboration, this is the class for you.

Doing this again, message me on here or contact me by email. $25-50/hr depending on complexity and detail
Hoping to get $200ish total so I can attend the in-person IndieCade stuff this year but any extra buffer would be great going into the holidays too
An image of lots of very excited-looking pop culture characters celebrating with the text "We've been VOLUNTARILY RECOGNIZED!"
As of today, the IGN Creators Guild has been voluntarily recognized by Ziff Davis. We're a real legal union, now and forever.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported us in any way, by sharing the petition, posting about us, voicing support, anything. It meant the world. We did it.
Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
Take a narrative course with Zhenia!
He's delightful!
Strangened Narratives course starts on Jan 5th!
Treat yourself to unique narrative design skills that will no doubt open a new creative vein in you.
We will talk loops, impossible choices, endings, and extreme design spaces.
Treat yourself in the new year!

This is exactly my flavor of niche gamedev knowledge, and perhaps it is yours, too!
Sooo I'm looking for new projects!
Senior narrative designer with 10+ shipped games and 8+ years of experience, with an eclectic expertise - RPGs, FPS, puzzle games, VR and many more!
Check out my portfolio! Grab a coffee! Let's talk! RT this! Take the day off! Enjoy softer skin!
A first person view looking upward to see black 2d pixel art tentacles stretching upward, and a tall creature with an eye looking at the player somewhat hidden behind the tentacles.
The top half of a Guild Resume sheet, with places to put information that you would expect for a job application, as well as questions that have a fantasy leaning.
A series of red eyes staring from a black void. A blue multi-eyed creature approaches bathed in red light.
A pixel art vat of grey liquid is before the first-person camera. The dialogue reads "Put the sandwich in the vinegar vat?" with the options "Dunk it" or "No, actually".
Putting some horror (actual and conceptual) games on sale this month because money's tight so please give it a look and buy some games for your friends and/or enemies

Dress for the job you want
Another way you can help me out is by buying some of my music. This soundtrack in particular is some of the best work I've done (and is ever expanding).
I just uploaded an a capella funeral shanty to it!
I just wrapped up a couple projects and am opening my commissions again! I need at least one more to assure I can afford next month's rent.
Anybody need some vibey bespoke music? I have a quick-ish turnaround and flexible rates!
Examples of my work:
Hello! My name is Zack Zwiezen! I'm a writer at Kotaku! You've probably seen me on Twitter. I got banned for suggesting rich people are evil and shouldn't be around.
Anyway, please follow me here now! Thanks so much!
Congrats! Added it to my list and looking forward to playing this game.
Listen folks, we can stop arguing the specifics. Here's the four main things:
- Unity should not be able to retroactively change the terms & conditions on products or sales you've already made. Them making this move says they're willing to, and that should be terrifying.
Hello internet! If you’ve got some spare bucks please check out this bundle and help me get caught up on some expenses. It features games about existential alien cosmonauts, goblin aristocrats, and hubristic amateur wizards!
I wrote about the changes with the Unity game engine, and why they mean basically nobody should use it anymore. What a situation. insertcredit.com/opinion/unity/
Reminder that I do game design consultancy for $25-50/hr (depending on complexity)
I have a decade of experience making RPGs and complex games and can promise that with the spreadsheets and patch notes that I've caused and written, I can handle whatever nonsense you have.
would love to talk to a couple game developers who are willing to explain to me why the Starfield potato thing is so impressive/difficult to do. contact info in my bio!
Mario’s Time Machine CD-Rom in CD Wallet Case
My parents found a copy of Mario’s Time Machine as they looked to get rid of stuff stored through the years. This made me recall how much I enjoyed Mario’s educational games like Mario is Missing & Mario Teaches Typing.
Hello friends, anybody looking to commission some music?
It's the off season for my main income source (tutoring) and I'm cutting it really close on rent this month. I'm looking to take on one commission in the $200-400 range that I'll turn around quickly.
Reposts appreciated.
Received a handwritten note today, and I’m glad it’s still being done. Even now, it’s more meaningful than anything typewritten.
Well, it's finally here. Lazy Dog. Pitched back in 2011 for a game jam, Lazy Dog went into development for some time, only to be quietly cancelled to focus on other projects.
Until today.
A Thread #gamedev
Okay, I watched the IGN video, and it was indeed irresponsible, so I wrote a small something about it: https://forums.insertcredit.com/d/2754-that-ign-video
