SUMMARY:IAP 2019: Writing for Videogames: It's Almost as Fun as it Sounds
DESCRIPTION:Independent Activities Period 2019\nEnrollment: 30 participants\, Advance sign-up required\nSign-up by 01/22  \nMy first video game writing job was a year-long stint with an iOS company that wanted to start a game franchise. They had a concept: mercs with guns. They had a genre: sci-fi. They didn’t have a game title\, a universe\, bad guys\, weaponry\, spaceships\, or a plot.  \nSo I gave them what they needed (SHADOWGUN) and they paid me for it\, and thus began my somewhat-lucrative job as a video game writer. In this one-day\, three-hour seminar\, I’ll tell you what I’ve done right in my career\, what I’ve done wrong\, and I’ll offer suggestions on both world-building and character-building. Questions from the audience are both expected and needed. \n
