episode 7: Storytelling with Kim Belair
Kim Belair is a writer and narrative designer who has worked on a wide range of games, from big franchises like the recent Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to smaller, more unique titles like Neo Cab and Goodbye Volcano High.
She talks Jordan through what it was like to work on Valhalla, the latest entry to a series with more than a decade of history, and how she contributed to what makes it different (no spoilers!). Then, the conversation expands into broader questions about the work of writing video games. How does it differ across games and teams? What’s the role of a narrative development company like Sweet Baby? And what are Kim’s hopes for the future of storytelling in games?
