Welcome to Podcast from the Edge’s bonus episode of our Video Game Dev Virtual Happy hour with AAA vets Joe Quadara and Evan Skolneik. To recap, Joe, Evan and I sat down and talked about how we got into video games and what advice we had to those who want to break in. During our conversation, Joe got curious about why game writing is so much more competitive than other game development disciplines, so he turned the tables on Evan and I — and asked us some really smart questions to find out why so many people want to become a writer, what being a professional writer actually means —- and how having a strong narrative and character conflict can elevate an entire game. The conversation that ensued was so rich with content, we decided it deserved its own episode. So, grab a drink because it’s time for a bonus installment of Game Dev Virtual Happy Hour!
