I would love to write video games (novelist by day-job). The formal possibilities are absolutely fascinating, and so wide, and getting wider by the day with LLMs. ‘Disco Elysium’ is one of the most interesting works of literature I’ve ‘read’ in years, and there’s scope to do so, so much more. The barrier to entry seems confusing, though. None of my agents seem to understand that world (fair enough!). I’ve written whole scripts for games - as writing exercises - but I find the learning curve of the engines too vicious to realistically have time to do a good job of producing a whole game solo. I wonder if anyone has any advice. It doesn’t feel like book / film world, where you get an agent, they shop your story around, etc. I wouldn’t even know where to start, given how many production companies there are. But it’d be incredibly interesting - creatively, and in terms of seeing the other side of the process, the limitations that need to be written around, etc - to work with someone, or a small team. I’d love to try that. There is so much room for innovation in storytelling when compared with writing for the page or screen. (Though I’m certain there are a million dudes out there who think: “I have a great idea for a game!”, lol.)
