Karrie Shao (Pacific Drive)

Written By Jared Ettinger

On this week's show it was a blast talking with the Nebula Award-nominated and BAFTA longlisted narrative designer/writer, Karrie Shao! You might know her best from the recent roguelike hit Pacific Drive, but she's also worked on the lore for League of Legends and done marketing for games like BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. We get into all of the unique opportunities she's had in her career and how to get players invested in game stories without cutscenes. With music from Hypervolt ⚡️
