Game Happens 2019 – Conference
Saturday 9 November, Afternoon Sessions

---

Screenwriters are used to writing for actors. Comic writers will see their words on the page. And the game writer? The game writer can do both… This talk is a gentle reminder that written and spoken languages are different. That you’ll have to change your perspective when you switch from one way of writing to the other. And that language will be understood differently when read vs when spoken.
