This week's guest at The Corner of Story and Game is Jeff Gardiner, the CEO and Founder of Something Wicked Games. Jeff has been producing video games for over 20 years, with credits on such major games as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. Like many of the other video game creators we have talked to, Jeff's roots start in Dungeons & Dragons - which is one of the first topics we discuss.
We also explore areas relating to working as a creative and the challenges, but mostly focus on what it is like starting a brand new studio and a brand new IP - and what that means as far as writing and worldbuilding. While he doesn't share too many secrets behind their new game, Wyrdsong, he does give some very informative insights into how they came up with the core concepts and where it is leading.
