With a passion for video games and creative writing as his basis, Ryan will be presenting a short story alongside a work-in-progress video game adaptation of the same narrative. During the session, Ryan will read a passage from his short story and discuss some of the core mechanics that will be making it into the next build of the game that reflect aspects of the literary piece. In addition to talking about the importance of constructing a cohesive narrative, Ryan will also talk about his creative design process, including what the next steps for the project will be.
