Breaking news! Leigh Alexander, writer and narrative designer of a famous project Reigns: Her Majesty, will present a talk within Game Design and Narrative track at DevGAMM in Moscow!
In the sequel to popular mobile kingdom management swipe-em-up ‘Reigns‘, the team wanted to push past “Yass Queen” and “go girl!”. Writer Leigh Alexander will share her narrative design process around the tricky political tightrope of women’s power, especially when it has to be both violent and funny, and she will touch on how procedural storytelling appeals to our fantasies of controlling the uncontrollable.
Leigh Alexander also worked on Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, Monitor. She also writes fiction and journalism (The Guardian, How We Get to Next, Medium, Motherboard) on futurism, digital society and other topics where the internet meets pop culture.
