📖 THE GAME NARRATIVE KALEIDOSCOPE ❄️ is out NOW! www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope 100+ essays on writing & narrative design, with articles from the writers of Baldur's Gate 3, Control, Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Sam and Max... ALSO the Kaleidoscope Podcast with 2 full eps!

The index of authors is insane: here's the index of authors in full. Each person was asked to write a short piece about one specific thing they care about. The result is a book about EVERYTHING. (And it's affordable, < $20 paperback)

The podcast also begins today. Co-hosted by @jon.inkle.co and @sagarberoshi.bsky.social of @thechineseroom.co.uk: we'll interview Kaleidoscope authors about their article and their craft. The first two eps are live, including Darby McDevitt, writer of Black Flag, on subverting gameplay for drama

(Oh, btw, as a thankyou for reading the thread, the printers have a 10% discount code right now, BCORP10, which you can use at the checkout.)

Do I need to read the guest's essay before listening to their podcast appearance? Is it a case of the podcast elaborating on the ideas in the essay?
