Video Games may be the exciting new frontier. But braving a new medium and creative space also means wrangling with the opportunities inherent within. That's what this talk is all about. What skills are needed to make this path a reality? Conversely, what skills aren't needed, or may just be myths blocking you from taking a new exciting step forward? It's all on the table here. We'll also touch on how writing for games may fit into a larger career plan.

Must have an AFF Producers, Conference, Weekend, or Lone Star Badge for entry.
