Session Description
In this session the Susan O'Connor (Far Cry-2) and Marianne Krawczyk (God of War) present an overview of some of the common pitfalls when trying to incorporate a story into the game development process. Susan and Marianne will share personal stories of what works, what doesn�t and what to avoid at all costs. They will further discuss how the writing process, especially when integrated as early as possible, can seamlessly dovetail into the development process and help to create memorable gameplay moments and meaningful stories.
