Heyyy Narrative Designer/Writer friends!
Does anyone have some solid advice for a friend of mine getting into the industry? They're still in school, so they have time!
They'd love general advice on what skills, work, and things they should be actively doing to land a role.
Thoughts?

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

I appreciate that the bigger problem is the racism and xenophobia , but its pissing me off how all these St George crosses aren't being ironed and steamed before being put up and being hung wrong.
Like did none of the racists learn how to properly hang a flag?

Rolled credits on Revenge of the Savage Planet and honestly it was a really fun time. Nothing groundbreaking but the combat felt fluid, the story fun and the side quests impactful. Its rare to get a game that just feels nice to play. Challenging but not impossible!
