Writer: The Red Headed Stepchild of the Videogame World

Lecturer: Jess Lebow, Flying Lab Software

So, you're THE writer.

You don't add features to the editor, or improve the performance of the game.

You don't add animations, or the breathtaking landscapes.

You're not really a designer, but sometimes it feels as if you are.

You're an outcast, the least technical (probably most socially well-adjusted) person in a company run by programmers. But it's precisely that quality that makes you valuable.

In this session we'll explore the role of the videogame writer, and talk about ways to maximize the value of your creativity in an industry dominated by the left brain.

Intended Audience: Writers, game designers, creative directors, producers, game company owners.
Prerequisites: None
Format: Lecture
