We are in for a treat in this episode of The Corner of Story and Game as we are graced by TWO brilliant writers/designers! Xalavier Nelson Jr. and Winter Mullenix stop by to explore the vital topic of inclusion and diversity as it applies to the craft of storytelling. It is a topic that I have wanted to create some space to explore for quite awhile now, and I am extremely honoured that these two masters of their craft were gracious enough to share their thoughts and experiences with me.
With dozens of games under his belt, Xalavier is renowned for titles like "Hypnospace Outlaw,” “Stranger Things VR,” and "An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs." Winter is an experienced writer and narrative designer with a whole swath of credentials, including over four years as Senior Narrative Designer at Cryptic Studios, working on the Neverwinter MMO.
