Download Significant Zero: Heroes, Villains, and the Fight for Art and Soul in Video Games AudioBook Free
When his satirical musings in a college newspaper received him discharged from the environment Drive, it became clear to Walt Williams that his future in life was to be always a copy writer - he just never thought he'd wrap up writing video games, let alone focusing on a few of the most successful franchises in the industry - Bioshock, Civilization, Borderlands, and Mafia, among others. Williams pulls again the curtain on an astonishingly profitable industry that has put its stamp on pop culture yet is little recognized to those outside its wall space. In his reflective yet comically-observant voice, Williams walks you through his improbable and sometimes inglorious go up within one of the world's top gaming companies, exposing a business loaded in brain vitality and out-sized egos, but battling to stay progressive. Significant No also provides clear-eyed criticism of the industry's habit to assault and explains the way the role of the narrative developer - the indegent soul in charge of harmonizing gameplay with storylines - is essential for extending the opportunity of video games into more immersive and emotional experiences.
