game writer’s conference
Oct 26-27th, the first annual Game Writers Conference will be held in Austin TX. A former Human Code person, (where many a fab person worked), Susan O’Connor, is the chair of this year’s conf. It’s going to be a great chance for writers to meet face-to-face…for writers from other disciplines to find out what game writing is all about…for devs who want to make more engaging games…and for students who want to meet the writer of Half-Life 2!!

“We are pre-Citizen Kane in this industry….we’re still learning how to tell stories in games…we haven’t fully delivered on the promise of the medium.”
– Neil Young, Vice President and General Manager, Electronic Arts LA
Who’s going to to revolutionize the art of the interactive story? Will it be you?
