Olá, Fediverso!
Sou programadora e #gamedev generalista.

Em 2025 dirigi dois jogos e atualmente me preparo para desenvolver um projeto mais sério em 2026.

Tô no fediverso desde 2022 mas usar redes sociais nunca foi um hábito, não vejo muita graça, mas espero conseguir compartilhar mais coisas dessa vez.

Could you help me find #ttrpg #games focused on disaster relief, first responders, firefighters and similar?

I'm interested in both narrative and crunchy, I want to analyze #stories and #narrative placement of the player agency, goals etc.

Bonus points for narrative analysis of such games, board games, similar video games etc. I think Pandemic Legacy would qualify.

The playable demo for my game project Hawthorn will be available in the coming weeks. The game's official title will be released then! The story of the game is based on the work from my Ph.D. thesis on sensemaking and information ecologies. #GameDesign #indieGame #informationBehaviour #sensemaking

I'm thinking about prototyping a quick-and-easy #solarpunk #TTRPG based on #forTheQueen game.

Little setting, no characters, just a lot of story prompts on cards the players draw one after another to tell a tale together.

Some topics I'm exploring so far:

- A rescue effort after an environmental disaster, telling the story of the community being saved

- Climate refugees moving into a new, wooden sustainable social housing
