Description
The video game industry has long been shrouded in secrecy, but one insider is now sharing his story. Walt Williams, a veteran narrative designer, takes readers on an unlikely journey from his days as a satirical writer to his rise within the gaming world's top companies. Williams pulls back the curtain on an astonishingly profitable industry that has put its stamp on pop culture, yet remains little known to those outside its walls. He exposes the industry's struggles with innovation and addiction to violence, while also highlighting the crucial role of narrative designers in creating immersive experiences. Through his story, Williams offers a clear-eyed critique of the gaming industry and provides insight into how he achieved success through an unforeseen career trajectory.
