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.

Dishonored
I like Dishonored quite a lot. Here’s my review.
After mentally rejecting three even crazier ideas, I hoist the Overseer’s body over my shoulder and jump out of the window.
If you’re playing it now, you might want to know what counts as a kill, what the threshold for ‘low chaos’ is, and whether dogs seeing you mean you’re not a ghost. Here’s a guide.
The game itself doesn’t fully explain how it works. I misunderstood it, and accidentally committed myself to a darker path than I wanted.
If you’ve finished it, we did a special spoilercast where we discuss the merits and faults of the plot, amongst much else.
You fascinate me, Corvo. You’ve eaten fifty cans of tuna today Corvo. Why did you do that? How did you do that? How do you eat all the tuna on a shelf almost instantly?

I also wrote an account of the first time I tackled the Lady Boyle mission.
He’s wearing a whale the size of a dog on his head. Her mask is a fly, with plate-sized compound eyes. They both stare at me for a moment, then the fly woman says:
‘I don’t know how you can wear that mask.’
