The Corner of Story and Game

Brady Sadler on The Winding Path

Listen Later

For Brady Sadler, the life and career of a creative has taken a winding road. He has been the drummer in a label-signed metal band, has designed numerous board games, and recently released his second published novel, The Acrid Sky. Not content with that, he has also set his eyes on breaking into the video game industry.

Brady and I discuss the narrative design masterclass we are in, the importance of stories in board games and video games, and what it is like to follow the creative drive.

We dig into, amongst other things:

  • Brady's origin story,
  • What translates from music to fiction and game writing,
  • Self-publishing,
  • His routine and creative process, and
  • Balancing life and being a creative.

    • Give it a listen!
