""Alex has managed a delicate feat: sharing his experience with those who already understand the craft of writing, but want details on the unique challenges and opportunities of moving that skill set into the interactive space."" --Mike Laidlaw, Creative Director, Dragon Age franchise at BioWare from 2009-2017 and founder of Yellow Brick Games ""A superbly comprehensive guide to all the things you need to know but that nobody knows to tell you about game writing, this book is an invaluable resource for the up and comer and the experienced writer alike!"" --Richard Dansky, Central Clancy Writer at Ubisoft 2001-2023 and Narrative Director at Romero Games. ""There’s no one way to write a game, and in Crafty Game Writing, Alex admits that right away! But this book does take us through the many moving parts that go into modern narrative games, all told in his friendly conversational style that gets straight-to-the-point. Definitely recommended reading if you want to get crafty with your game writing.” --Richard Rouse III, Studio Creative Director at FarBridge, Narrative Director for Rainbow 6: Patriots, and Creative Director for The Suffering: Ties That Bind.
