Had a wonderful time at #HelloWorld in Glasgow today meeting other game devs and creatives. I can’t wait to see what the industry grows into. Thanks for putting it on @scottishgames.bsky.social

Wish we could make it tonight, but life won’t allow it. Enjoy and congrats. We would have loved to connect - Natalie @superforest

Hi Bluesky 👋
I’m a Japanese indie developer working on a story-rich 2D adventure called "The Perfect Prince."
I care a lot about emotional storytelling and player choice.
Nice to meet you!

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.

What an amazing night at @typewronger.bsky.social for the first ever bookshop all nighter in the UK! Be sure to check them out when next in Edinburgh and help keep their lights on!

Journey to Publication: Designing the book There are two things that you, dear reader, must understand to make sense of my journey to publication. The first is that I am not publishing my book, but instead setting up superforest to publish …

Ever wanted to know about the process of designing a book? @elhark.bsky.social has you covered, as we at superforest prepare to publish Little Bird!

So soon.

Getting to actually hold my book was an incredible experience. Can't wait to actually get it out into the world. #writtingcommunity #writesky

Magic has both physical and mental limitations. Individuals only have so much magic and once it's spent they have to wait for it recover. Burn through your magic too often and your body suffers. Beyond that it's mostly a question of skill and practise. #writtingcommunity #writesky

I have a University of Arcane Studies with degrees that similar to Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorates. The Mage degree is my magical PhD and requires an understanding of all the Arcane arts and demonstration of mastery of one of them. The demonstration very much depends on what you're studying

My First book I made a book. I don’t mean that I wrote a book. I made a book. Wrote the story and edited with the help from others. Did the illustrations and design work myself. Then, finally, printed it a…

Writing it just wasn’t enough for @elhark.bsky.social. Little Bird is now very real and in our hands. Hopefully it will be in your hands someday soon too.

I use magic sparingly in my story so there aren't a lot of impressive examples of magic. This is probably the closest thing I have. #writingcommunity #writesky #Febchantment

There is a baseline genetic factor to my magic system. You have be born with magic, and a certain type of magic, to be able to use it. Beyond that it is all a matter of education. #writingcommunity #writesky

Best of luck!

So proud of our city right now.

Journey to Publication: Making the book The first step to publishing a book is to write a book. Fortunately for me, I have in fact written a book. So step one was done before I even started this journey. Excellent. Gold star for me. Earl…

Writing is easy…editing…ooph. But probably the most important step on the way to publishing, right @elhark.bsky.social?

I use a mixture of 'hard' and 'soft' magic atm. My goal is to have set rules about what is possible (and when it is possible) and then to be more vibes based on exactly how the magic is depicted. Sort of like describing your character's actions in an TTRPG after a dice roll. #writingcommunity

New Series: The Journey of publishing When I started the process of trying to get published I didn’t know how mind-numbly dull it would be. I thought it would be a lot of work and it was. There was a lot of research to look for a…

Coming up in 2026 Happy New Year. I know I am a bit late, but it is still the first half of January, so close enough. This will be a shorter post mostly updating and outlining what’s planned for the coming yea…

Happy New Year from @elhark.bsky.social!

Day 18 of #Writevember. I have no idea how many words I've written, but I'm probably not getting 30,00 by the end of the month. On the bright side I'm still writing the manuscript, little by little.
