Make art for your nr 1 audience that is always present: yourself. A nursing thought I’ve learned to repeat lately: teen me would fucking LOVE what current me is doing. That’s healing. 💕

The Yarn Spinner folks have built another fantastic narrative tool. Story Solver is built to help answer the questions… • Can everything be seen? • Can everything be completed? …with Math! Because manual testing takes A. Lot. Of. Time. Your QA team will thank you.

A Producer's Delight: Formally Provable Narrative
Story Solver is a tool for narrative designers that helps you plan, write, and test your game's story. Brought to you by the same team that built the open-source narrative tools behind award-winning games like Night in the Woods, Dredge and Venba, Story Solver lets you create the branching paths of your story, and then uses automated reasoning to ensure that every part of your story is reachable by the player in some way. Using this approach, Story Solver can take any point in your story and produce a save-game file for it.

In this talk, we'll take a deep dive into how to use automated reasoning and theorem provers to create a complex, intertwined story. We'll then mathematically prove that it contains no problems. This is not hyperbole.
Jon and Tim, with a slide showing expanding brain meme:

-Test everything manually
-Identify and test specific paths
-Implement stochastic methods
-Solve for every possible universe

my Last Fleet ttrpg character is having such a bad time and I love it (he is a beautiful ex-boyband-frontman who dramatically left the band right before the apocalypse, and is now involved in a bunch of space murder while people underestimate him and he tries not to have a breakdown)

Putting too much personal self-worth in a project makes it hard to pace yourself - you want to do the maximum all the time which isn't sustainable. It also becomes very hard to be sanguine if a project gets cancelled, or to analyse feedback with perspective (can get defensive, or perfectionistic)

I remember this! I was pretty young at the time and then got confused when I later watched it on video 😆 I have no idea what BBC2 was thinking putting it at that time slot, but they also placed Buffy then and I remember them trimming bits out of various episodes so things didn't make sense later
