Game Happens 2019 – Inspirational Talk

For Game Happens, November 8-10 2019 in Genova, I gave a short inspirational talk called Listening vs Reading: The Differences between Writing for Voiced and Written Dialogue.

Screenwriters are used to writing for actors. Comic writers will see their words on the page. And the game writer? The game writer can do both… This talk is a gentle reminder that written and spoken languages are different. That you’ll have to change your perspective when you switch from one way of writing to the other. And that language will be understood differently when read vs when spoken.

A video of the talk is available via the Youtube channel of Game Happens.
