Putting Players In The Story – Behind The Games chat with Ashley Ruhl

Subscribe: RSS

Bioware and Star Wars the Old Republic is well known for the strength of its narrative. Cinematic, fully voiced cut-scenes that put the player in the story with a feeling of agency is difficult to achieve without clear narrative direction and vision. Ashley Ruhl has been involved with narrative direction from the start for SWTOR and has recently taken on full responsibility as Narrative Director. She talks with us about what that means, how a narrative director puts the player in the story, and how moments that matter are created. Excellent and insightful conversation… thanks, Ashley!

Subscribe: RSS

Sarah Spiers journey to Development Director at Maxis, and being recognized by Forbes in their 30 Under 30 In Games, wasn’t a straight line. That said, it is inspiring and shines a light on how persistent incremental step, sometimes in unique directions, can lead to the best outcomes. Her journey so far has also been bookended and maybe even informed and inspired by the Sims. Awesome, super fun conversation… thanks, Sarah!
