I enjoy co-directing or even being there just for support because you get to see your script come to aural life in front of you.

You can't have bravery without fear...

They are very good reasons why voice acting in games can be so terrible. Writers are in a great position to be able to bridge this gap.

By the time a writer comes onto a project (if they're being hired as a contractor) the main character has usually been designed, as that's always done during a project's pitching stage.

Larger game teams are often a bit more experienced at working with writers, which is often a huge relief. However, it also means that there are more people wanting to wander around the narrative kitchen telling you how you should be making your story pies.

There's a moment on the arch of a jump, when you are neither rising nor falling. All you can see is the sky. All you can feel is the air and all you can hear is your heartbeat. That is all you are. Muscle and motion. It's called the deadpoint. I live for that.

Videogames need more women and are too reliant on male, stubble-covered heroes.
