Theo Beastly 👹

Hello, new followers!! I'm Theo, a freelance #gamedev narrative designer and game writer. I also write for TV, film, TTRPGs, and various IPs, mainly horror, sci-fi and dark fantasy. I have too many tattoos (inconceivable) and not enough cats (not possible). Currently looking for new projects :)

I see companies are using the word "buyout" now when they really mean "redundancy" to try and get softer headlines. Fuck you.

Oh Oh Lupin season four has dropped?? I do love this little French series a lot.

Considering their models are open sourced and free to use, and the first AI generated movie has flopped at the cinemas, it's the canary in the coal mine for everyone else. Expect Western economies to fold as quickly as AI stocks will.

Whenever I see 'dramaturg' I automatically read 'dramaturd' and think about a shite that's throwing a tantrum being flushed down the pan.

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you want to know how shit it is out there for pitching projects, Pendleton Ward is being told to “find an audience on TikTok and come back to us”.

I’m doing that thing again where I stare at World of Warcraft and think about starting it…Forever looks lush.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Updated.

Ugh, more details about Mass Effect Universe seeping out just makes me weep even harder for what might have been.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

10M downloads after a launch 2 months ago, with a user base on Meta of 3Bn MAU? Safe to say, nobody gives a shit about the cuddly surveillance bot from Zuck.

One of the most insightful comments about game development came from a former boss. He said “Making a game is like starting a band. You can’t throw money at a new studio with random AAA veterans and expect it to crank out a hit.” 🧵

😡

I’d rather read a terrible human novel than an AI book because at least the writer gave it their best shot themselves.

Still a few months left for that 2026 WWIII prediction from Star Trek to come true.

Budgeting 101 was supposed to launch earlier today but due to a (minor) medical emergency I was unable to do the final checks and launch. Expect the course to launch tomorrow - a very solid course with some very useful resources attached - in my opinion. courses.ramiismail.com

You can tell a lot about someone’s regard for creativity when they view it all as “content”. Video games are just “content” now, apparently.

Pitches sent.

Growth that kills its host isn’t growth. It’s cancer with good PR.

Is Storm Bebo finished yet? I have leaves to sweep up.

Oh my god, he just was in Coyote V. Acme as like, half the cast—way, way too soon. Feel awful for his family. 😣

"Somehow, Palpatine returned."

Halloween candy is expensive this year, so I’ve got plenty used cat litter to give away.

@mikeflanaganfilm.com Clayface was brilliantly written, thank you!

If you sit and think about it, the writing in Mass Effect is everything new Star Trek should have been.
