Writing is a craft and you should study it | Michael Vogt lead writer on Hitman Michael Vogt lead writer for the Hitman series LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/michael-vogt-0136271a/ Learn the craft. Go to school. It's a craft, you gotta learn it. Get an education in games that's probably the best advice. Michael actually never pictured himself as a games writer, and he started his career focusing on movie with a degree in film and media science. He was involved in making music videos as a way to get to do movies, but ended up writing on Hitman Absolution through a friend. Through that experience he discovered that games and Hitman in particular could actually be the medium to tell the kind of stories that he liked. And even though Michael actually says that he doesn't really have any advice for aspiring writers, he clearly has a lot to say about games and writing. We also talk about how our imagination works for us, and how games as a medium is very well suited to take advantage of that. And how stories in games have gotten better and more complex in AAA titles as well as indie games.
