After 22 years of AA game dev at Splash Damage I'm now available for narrative design director roles, either remote with a UK time zone overlap, or in places commutable from South-East London. In the meantime I'm available for consulting and freelance ND and #GameWriting.

Apparently I made this while learning to do project risk logs. It's advice I've taken to heart, and am offering to you, now, free, for no charge.

Confession 1: "Did I leave the gas on?" is stolen entirely from Nathan Fillion's guide to acting in a soap opera in the last scene before the ad break where you don't have any lines to cover the music swelling: youtube.com/watch?v=9-RYVR…

Work stuff reminded me of what was by quite some distance the weirdest/dumbest thing we did with the Dirty Bomb Jackal Commander character: letting the community request custom soundboard VO lines. CN: NSFW, swearing, cruder-than-I-remembered...jokes? youtube.com/watch?v=Gm_xVG…

Unfortunately, I am one of the people affected by the layoffs today at Epic. I'm absolutely devastated to leave behind so many amazing Mediatonic colleagues who I loved. So: the job search begins! If you need an experienced writer or narrative designer, please get in touch :)

When you hate a group of people so much, you withdraw your organ donation consent in case one of them get something from you. Being ‘Gender Critical’ is no different from being a racist, and I’m tired of middle-class media types pretending otherwise.

The Dorries resignation letter has made me wonder: if the Tories of 2019 hate the Tories of 2023, why should anyone else in the country like the Tories of 2023 enough to vote for them?

Beyond Nadine Dorries’ long overdue resignation letter being both self-glorifying and self-pitying, it is the perfect example of the current Conservative Party’s ills: blindly furious, lashing out at everything in sight, including the Conservative Party itself.
