There are almost no pure 'writing' jobs in this industry. Games narrative is inextricably tied to design and can be pulled in countless directions by any other department at any time. Being a 'good writer' is a fraction of your day to day.

NO LIES DETECTED

The other fraction is spreadsheets, and then another fraction poking the programmer to stop hardcoding certain design elements and just make it accessible to the design & art teams.

That whole Excel-is-the-backbone-of-games-writing thing also seems to surprise a lot of people

Damn. Burned everyone today, pal

reasons i firmly believe my QA experience will help take me far if i ever manage to transition into a narrative role! 🙏
