The Underappreciated Craft of Video Game Writing

Jon Ingold, a prominent author known for his work on narrative-driven games, has voiced his concerns regarding the video game industry's treatment of writing as a craft. He believes that the potential for storytelling within games is often overshadowed by gameplay mechanics and graphics, leading to a lack of recognition for skilled writers. Ingold argues that while the industry has made significant strides, it still falls short in celebrating the art of writing, which he views as a fundamental component of immersive gaming experiences.

Ingold emphasizes the importance of narrative in engaging players and creating memorable experiences. He points out that many games could benefit from a stronger focus on storytelling, suggesting that developers should prioritize collaboration with writers to enhance the overall quality of their projects. He calls for a shift in perspective, urging the industry to acknowledge and elevate the role of writing in games, ultimately striving for a future where narrative is given the respect it deserves.
