The latest episode: The Emotional Design Behind Video Games
Here’s more from the Design is Everywhere team:
What makes video game storytelling unique?
In this episode, Sam chats with Shawn Kittelsen, the vice president of creative development of games at Skybound Entertainment. Shawn talks about how his background in playwriting and screenwriting contributes to storytelling in video games and developing narratives that connect the player to the games. Later on in the show, they are joined by Mike Pondsmith, a role-playing, board, and video game designer who founded R. Talsorian Games and the creator of the acclaimed Cyberpunk series. Mike chats about the value of story building in video games and how he came to develop the Cyberpunk Universe. Together, they talk about their favorite recently played video games.
