TOM FRANCIS
REGRETS THIS ALREADY

Hello! I'm Tom. I'm a game designer, writer, and programmer on Gunpoint, Heat Signature, and Tactical Breach Wizards. Here's some more info on all the games I've worked on, here are the videos I make on YouTube, and here are two short stories I wrote for the Machine of Death collections.

   
 

24: Drink When…

  • Someone annoying is kidnapped.
  • A terrorist informs another terrorist that “Everything is proceeding as planned.”
  • A terrorist assumes Jack is dead.
  • The person in charge of CTU makes a bad call.
  • Jack goes rogue.
  • Jack is fired.
  • Jack is arrested.
  • Jack breaks out of CTU.
  • Jack is reinstated to CTU.
  • “Protocol.”
  • Someone gives a hopelessly vague order (“Take precautions.” “Make something happen.”)
  • Someone gives a redundant order (“Proceed as planned.” “Execute the next stage.”)
  • The president screws up a common phrase (“Keep me closely posted.” “We’ll cross that bridge when the situation presents itself.”)
  • Someone at CTU has to go behind their boss’s back to help Jack.
  • “We don’t have time!”
