  1. So, as the episodes drop, I hope you read them. Beyond that, I hope you'll share the links, and follow and favorite "A Code of Silence" on #kindlevella! The first 10 episodes (which is a pretty decent chunk of the story) will be free, and will post daily--Monday through Friday--for the next two weeks. Please check it out! It's only with your help that this will be a true success, for what good is a writer without a reader?

    SEE YOU TOMORROW! 3/3

  2. ...(the #vellys), which will get eyes on the story even if I don't win any of the prizes. This will give me a little more traction.

    2.) To challenge myself. I've never done serialized storytelling to this degree, and I want to push myself and see if I can hack it. 2/?

  3. #WordWeavers 8.1: Share three interesting facts about your story or characters.

    1.) The story is set in New York City, 1989-????.

    2.) I've had the main story beats in my notes for almost a decade(!), but have just been waiting to actually write the story for many different reasons. Recently figured it was now or never, just in time to find out about the #vellys.

    3.) The main character/narrator (Reggie) looks like a cross between my dad, my uncle, and a third person who will remain a secret.

  9. #WritersCoffeeClub 2.1: Intro: Self Promo.

    Let's see...
    I'm Dan Burley, and I'm a #author (who is in the midst of #writing a series of #crimefiction novels), an #editor, an #artist, a #musician, and a fledgliing #gamedev / #indiedev.

    My latest release is the #DreamsPS4 cinematic novel "WHITE LIGHT", and I am on track to release my next book, titled "If I Dig Too Deep", by the end of this year (FINALLY).

    If you're interested in any of that stuff, I have a Linktree: linktr.ee/DanBurley

  10. So, thanks to its 3rd person mode a deep discount, I've begun playing #ResidentEvilVillage. I can't watch the cutscenes directly, unfortunately, because they're still in 1st person. However, if I don't look directly at the screen, I can still get the gist.

    In earnest, this post is really about how fucking incredible the #REengine is. This shit has NO business looking this good on a launch PS4.

  15. My feeling of the day is that Shinji Mikami-created games always have better titles in his native land. Sure, #ResidentEvil is a fine enough title for the first half of the first and fourth games (and maybe the eighth--haven't played it), but #Biohazard works for every entry AND sounds cooler. #TheEvilWithin is a pretty generic title for a pretty good game, but #Psychobreak? Way cooler sounding and very fitting.

  16. I'm gonna go ahead and make this a thread of different #music I wrote for "WHITE LIGHT", because I think it would be nice to have them somewhere other than the #DreamsPS4 ecosystem.

    I first wrote this track for a book ad, but shelved it. When I got 'DREAMS', I used it to learn the music tools. Again, I'd like to mix it better, but, you know...deaf. When I did the arrangement, I was thinking of old anime scores.

  17. Welp. That's all it took. I'm already in love with #ChickenPolice.

  18. So, I started and stopped playing #ControlRemedy the other day. I liked what I played (just the opening, for the second time), but decided I should play #AlanWake first (the original--I know I'm way, way late).

    My verdict? It's pretty dated, but I loved it anyway. Should hold me off long enough to be able to get some form of current-gen hardware and play the sequel (which is what I really wanted to be playing, because it looks fucking bonkers).

    On to #TheEvilWithin2!

  19. #WritersCoffeeClub 17: Do you draw out maps/floorplans/diagrams/etc for key set pieces in your writing?

    Yes, but those designs are unfortunately trapped on the hard drive of a computer I can't get to boot up anymore. However, I have also used Dreams (#DreamsPS4, #MadeInDreams) to create some of the spaces, and here are a couple of the ones I'm comfortable showing off.

    Clockwise: Brownstone (top floor), child Elizabeth's room, adult Elizabeth's sunroom, and Reggie's main apartment.

  23. I was busy earlier and forgot to mention that tonight's (now, really, last night's, but I'm still awake so...) movie was #PetSemataryBloodlines. Frankly speaking, I feel like it's the best movie set in that universe. Even though its story gets a brief expository description in the original story, it still manages to stay intriguing (and, at times, unsettling) throughout. I didn't really expect much going in, but it was worth a watch.

  24. The #SeparateWays add-on for #ResidentEvil4 is pretty fucking great. For the first time ever, Wesker doesn't sound clownish to me. He actually just sounds like a bad guy.

    Also, he's SUPER fun in Mercenaries.

  25. When left in a room filled with 200 chimpanzees, he and his new friends invented the typewriter. #fakeshakespearefacts

  26. #WritingWonders 8.04: Pics of SCs

    I have quite a lot of visual materials for my SCs, but for this post, I'm just going to focus on my two favorites: Aaron Robinson (who has been the subject of the last few WW prompts) and Maryanne Harper (who I've mentioned in months past).

    I'll post a piece of concept art and a model made in #unrealengine's #MetaHuman for each. I did the illustrations in 2017 or so, and the models are form 2021 (Maryanne) and 2022 (Aaron).

  27. There were a lot of hiccups along the way, & lots of iteration, but I'll forever be proud of the final product and what it taught me about #gamedev. It's an hours-long story, which is quite a bit more involved than a lot of what has been #MadeInDreams, but if that isn't a deterrent, I hope that you'll give it a try, if you have #DreamsPS4.

  28. A year ago today--following 3 years of mostly solo dev time--I released my first game; The cinematic novel "WHITE LIGHT", which was 100% #MadeInDreams! I picked up a lot of new skills making it (like sculpting & animation), and I'm thankful to #MediaMolecule for giving me the tools to try my hand at long-form interactive visual entertainment. I never thought I'd be capable of making a game, but #DreamsPS4 showed me that not only could I do it, I should. And I did. 1/?indreams.me/dream/mMLdzYKEGWM

  29. #Semisonic's classic album #FeelingStrangelyFine released 25 years ago today! So, in celebration, my #SongOfTheDay today is my favorite track from it. This is a pretty perfect piece of power-pop.
