The six inaugural participants for Wordplay, a games writing mentorship, have been announced. Produced in partnership between GamesHub and Creative Victoria, the program will commission six emerging writers to create work informed by Melbourne International Games Week 2021 (October 2-10), to be published on GamesHub.
Like many of us, I’ve been playing games from a young age. Looking back, they’ve shaped my life in surprising and unexpected ways. Funnily enough, the prospect of designing games for a living wasn’t something I seriously considered until late in high school, where I grew an understanding of the discipline’s complexity and potential, and decided it was the best path I could take. Currently, my aspirations for games writing are mostly leaning towards writing for game narratives, though I also enjoy critiquing and analysing games.’
