In a replay from early 2024 on Dear Business Coach podcast, #mythological #scholar and aspiring video game writer Kaitlyn Dwyer shared fascinating insights about breaking into the gaming industry and adapting classical stories for modern audiences. "Mythology is very, very special in that it is applicable to a huge audience. Everybody knows mythology and everybody likes mythology," Dwyer explained, highlighting how ancient stories can bridge generational gaps in #gaming. She detailed the challenges of portfolio development, noting that "the people who get into the games industry are incredibly passionate people, you can't get in unless you are incredibly passionate," as aspiring writers often need to submit "1000 applications before you get in there."
Speaking about adapting classical narratives, Dwyer emphasized the delicate balance required: "One of the things that I am very passionate about is being able to adapt a story without completely changing the story."
