Hi!  If you missed it, the SXSW Online 2021 panel, Creating Touchstones in Emergent Narrative, is still up on-demand for pass holders. 

I’ll be speaking on a panel, Screenwriting for Games: The Challenge of Choice-Based Narratives, next week at SCAD Gaming Fest along with Patric Verrone and Marianne Krawczyk. This high-powered event was organized in collaboration with the Writers Guild Foundation. SCAD stands for Savannah College of Art and Design.

Here’s the panel description:

Title: Screenwriting for Games: The Challenge of Choice-Based Narratives

When: Friday, April 9, 2021

Time: 2 PM Eastern Time

From huge triple-A games to interactive online novels, engaging storytelling requires the right mix of imaginative prose and strategic writing. Join successful game writers as they talk about pitching and writing choice-based narratives, how the writers’ room in a game company differs from television series or films, and the various ways writers are utilized in the game development process.

SCAD Gaming Fest will feature Q&A’s, presentations, and panels, featuring industry professionals from Blizzard, EA, Google, Magic Leap, Microsoft, Ubisoft, 42 Entertainment, Skillshot, and more. This year, it’s virtual and open to all, not just SCAD students and SCAD card holders.

Join me and other industry leaders this April 9–10, and get exclusive content on game design and development, animation, visual effects, and more. See you there!
