Game Narrative Kaleidoscope
Inkle recently released an anthology of short essays about games narrative... and I contributed an essay! It's about why editorial is normal and you should expect to have to do a lot of it - ideally, a whole pass on your script end to end - in the last third of development. It's heavily adapted from this essay I published on this blog in 2024.
The book has a fuck ton of essays by a lot of people whose names you've probably heard if you've worked in the industry. Many of my friends are in there!!
I strongly recommend buying a copy. I am getting a paperback version and putting it on my desk!!
I'm very grateful for Jon Ingold and Inkle putting this book together and herding all the cats who wrote the essays. They did a phenomenal job!
