You’re in the right place! I’m Daan, also known as Turbo Hermit. I stepped away from a full-time technical job in games to find out more about narrative design with you instead. I create game design and storytelling resources for game makers of all disciplines and experiences. Together, we’ll be exploring concepts like:
