Description

The Ringer's Ben Lindbergh and Jason Concepcion reflect on why video game makers are hesitant to talk about the development process publicly (0:15 ). Then they talk to one who isn't: Walt Williams, who's worked on 'BioShock,' 'Spec Ops: The Line,' and 'Star Wars Battlefront II,' among many other games, and joins the podcast to discuss how game-writing works (20:35 ), the perils of crunch (25:20 ), the pitfall of player choice (38:42 ), how to make morality interesting in interactive games (43:15 ), and his new book, 'Significant Zero: Heroes, Villains, and the Fight for Art and Soul in Video Games.'
