Writing for the multibillion-dollar video-game industry is not like writing for any other medium. Slay the Dragon is your guide to making your mark as a storyteller in this very complex, growing, and ever-changing art form.

Their unique perspective on the importance of balancing story with gameplay will help you make sense of the confusion in today s enviornment
