Welcome to the home of research, writing, and creative works by Lyne Dwyer.
Here, you can learn more about me, see my past and ongoing projects, check out my creative efforts, and read my thoughts and ideas about games, design, queer existence, and how various game mechanics and interfaces shape how players form social relationships and intimacies - especially with non-player characters (or NPCs)!
This site is also the home of my research-creation dissertation on non/monogamy in digital games. Stay tuned for updates!
Finally, you can follow my work on tandem play (i.e., playing single-player games together) and how it can be used as a sort of queer method for studying digital media and interactive technologies.
Have fun on your quest! ⚔︎
