#GameNarrative&Writing
Hi, everybody!

Guess I’ll fire off an intro…

The name’s Cory Lanham. Your friendly neighborhood #gamewriter. For the past 8 or so years, I was writing for Ready At Dawn until Meta shut down the studio back in August. Before that, I worked for Wargaming, Yager, and Day 1 Studios.

Anyone else do this thing where they watch a pre-alpha demo of a game and you start coming up with dialogue to match what's happening on screen?

Alright, let's talk plot twists in games. Games where the writers/narrative team delivered a gut punch you did not see coming?

If you don't want to spoil it, just give the name of the game so I (and others) can check it out.

Not sure if this one fits with what you are going for. Game writing has a strong overlap with trad pubbed and indie authors. Game Writing is also an award category now for the Nebulas.

Writer/narrative heads, what do you like to see in a writer/narrative applicant's portfolio? What's something that has really made a person stand out? What are some Do's and Don'ts we should be aware of? Do you take bribes, and if so, are they mainly cheese-based?

I am writing our main character in the game: the Diplomat.
She is a political envoy who takes on her own journey to discover the untold stories in the Arctic.
💡What should I play / read / watch / as inspiration & references?

Hey pro game writers/narrative devs, what did you have in your portfolio that you felt really clenched the deal for you when you were on the hunt for a job? #GameNarrative&Writing

What are the best-written bad guys in games? It can be their backstory, their dialogue, their brilliance, their sense of humour, breath-taking cruelty, maybe their cause is right, whatever, the criteria is up to you.

Well, the contracts are signed, so it's now safe to say that I am the new writer at Raw Power Games working on a very cool gig. Delighted.

Nothing more alarming than accidentally hitting caps lock while writing dialogue and suddenly your character is yelling at the player. #gamenarrative #narrativedesign

I just wish they would update Scrivener more often. Also wish they had more templates and themes. #authors&writing #writingcommunity #gamenarrative&writing #authors #blackwriters

Scene detail is secondary to anchoring your reader to the character's emotional reaction to the scene.
