Episode #8 - Narrative Design

Behind Massive Screens - a Game Development Podcast

We sat down with Chella Ramanan, Narrative Designer at Massive Entertainment, to dig into the complicated subject of storytelling in video games – in everything from smaller indie projects to giant AAA games. Chella has had a long career, spanning over disciplines like literature, games journalism and indie games, before coming to Massive. How did all of them inform her current job? How does game journalism help a career in actual game development, and what can video games learn from literature and theater?
