Re-release: Bioshock Creator Ken Levine on Judas, Writing and Narrative in Games

We're on a release break for new episodes, so here's one our past great chats from Oct, 9 2023!

Adam Orth chats with Ken Levine, the legendary creator behind the Bioshock series and the upcoming Judas. Together they discuss Ken's journey into game writing; using art as a healthy outlet for processing uncomfortable subjects; dealing with the pressure of following up the first Bioshock game due to its massive success and popularity; how to tackle complex narratives and concepts aimed at general audiences; his thoughts on AI; and how to avoid falling into the trap of arrogance.
