We love video games and Roadmap, and not just because some of the biggest games have been adapted to our favorite TV shows. The big worlds, expansive storytelling, and the ability to connect with audiences of all ages and all over the world. What's not to love?
When it comes to writing for video games, we turn to our friend and alumnus Westin Lee, to tell us his advice, experience and pro tips!
This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Writer/narrative roles in games (what are they called, what does the work look like)
- Ways you get hired in games/who hires you
- How hiring works (portfolio recommendations, interviews, tests)
- How to network
- What you have to do when you get a job (contracts, crunch)
- Live Q&A
Westin Lee is a professional AAA (big-budget) games writer (Just Cause, Dying Light) and author based in Los Angeles. A scrappy urban adventurer from the sweltering Houston suburbs, he studied film and dodged hurricanes at Full Sail (Orlando), performed comedy in smoke-filled Turkish cafes (Berlin), and embarrassed himself in front of executives from multiple Fortune 500 companies (New York, Las Vegas, Palo Alto).
Westin tends to write subversive coming-of-age science fiction with occasional comedic elements. His work explores chaotic and frightening worlds where glimmers of hope can be found within oneself, and in the families we choose.
In his spare time, he converses with randoms, photographs sunsets, and is learning to sew.
