I used to do something called Dev Talk & Tea when I started working in games but I only made 3 episodes before becoming overwhelmed. Now I'm ready to take another stab at it and use my free time to create relaxing content about game development, my day-to-day, and general nerdiness. SOCIAL LINKS HERE...

    I was a teacher for seven years, but had the opportunity to be lead writer/narrative design on a game for just over two years. We raised a lot of money, and partnered with ubisoft, and the game just launched on Epic Games this August, but my contract ended and I've had trouble finding work since. It's really weird because I'm from a completely different field, but I'm in love with making games now, and it sucks trying to find someone who'll take me with only two years' experience, despite actually shipping a game. If you have any tips or videos on how to pitch yourself as a writer in the industry, it'd be much appreciated. Subbed and will eagerly await the next installation!

    This does make me wonder how the developers behind Mass Effect and The Witcher handled this kind of information, since those games had wildly divergent plot branches not just within individual titles but between installments. I'm appreciating just how much work those teams put into keeping the wheels from falling off of their narratives.

  • @helloofthebeach
    @helloofthebeach Місяць тому

    This is something I've studied a fair bit, but when you mentioned Powerpoint, I could only react with a "...oh, that does make sense, doesn't it?" I feel like organizing plot and dialogue flow not having an industry standard (in the way that film scripts are standardized, if such a thing is even possible in games) is one of the big stumbling blocks for ND as an art form, but I somehow never realized I had a Pretty Good option already installed on my computer. I am very glad that UA-cam randomly recommended this for me out of nowhere. My only critique is that you've got a compelling background character who was greatly underutilized and could certainly carry their own subplot. Definitely worth developing further!

However, Narrative Design is certainly a key role that binds many projects together and is not talked about often enough.

    I'm in my 60s, with lots of camping, D& D, and cosplay experience you have inspired me to look into LARP here in the USA. Your creativity, bravery, and cleverness are refreshing and inspiring. As a woman, of a certain age, I am used to being overlooked and ignored. Roll play is a place I can be as big or as small as I like, according to my character and the collaborative story. The gaming community is more welcoming than it has ever been, and most of the time a safe place for those who are discovering their real selves, or trying to find a tribe. So, You have inspired me to give it a go, gonna research groups in my area and see what I can find. Thank you , and thanks to all the gamer/ d&d/ LARP folks who are trying to make the hobby less mysterious and more accessible. Best wishes from Colorado USA.
