Writers Max and Nick Folkman sit down with other writers and developers to discuss storytelling in video games.
Hey hey! We're back with our second episode that we recorded at this year's GDC, and it's a doozy! In a switch from how we normally do things, we brought a grab bag of simple questions to the conference and hit up people who were free, and so y'all get to see how everyone's answers differed. In our first group, we had Ben Starr, Alexa Ray Corriea, Kait Tremblay, and Kelsey Beachum. In our second group (starting at 35:21) we had Adam Dolin, Kate Dollarhyde, and Kelsie Mhoon. Our third group (starting at 1:19:39) had Emma Kidwell, Nessa Cannon, and Calliope Ryder. And we closed things out (at 1:47:33) with Chandana Ekanayake. Topics include: hobbies that aren't related to game development, current game of the year, favorite villains / antagonists, a time you messed up and what you learned from it, how you stay positive, games you keep returning to, favorite choice you've ever made in a game, people in this industry who did something nice for you, favorite NPCs, games you're always referencing that nobody else has ever heard of, games that made you think differently about something, first game you played where the story really affected you, what you'd force devs to change during production, games you wish you'd gotten to work on, how to get team members to read documentation, something in your process that saves a ton of time, advice for people wanting to get into game narrative, and so SO much more it's kinda insane!!!
