I've been working on a #gamejam turned proof of concept demo with @lonelygiantstudios.bsky.social for a palaeontology game! You play as a PhD student going out on their first solo dig. It's been so fun to develop the characters, dialogue & #narrativedesign

Is this a glow up? I’m in my notebook outlining episodes 4-6 of the left eye, and found these extremely early sketches of potential screen layout, narrative branching, and questionable probabilities for ep3’s poker game scene!

First beta audit completed – for a small Studio.
A 2D strategy game with tactical foundation (Total War-style combat), but a campaign layer that needed more clarity.
One more beta slot open. Free audit for an honest testimonial.

I don’t usually post narrative moments because I worry about spoilers.
But I’ve written 70+ pages of dialogue already, and the opening is finally ready to share.
Coming “soon.” Wishlist now:
