Hannah Nicklin is an award-winning narrative and game designer, writer, and academic who has been practising for nearly 15 years. She works hard to create playful experiences that see people and make people feel seen, and also argues for making games a more radical space through mentoring, advocacy, and redefining process. Trained as a playwright, Nicklin moved into interactive practices early on in her career and is now the CEO and studio lead at Danish indie studio Die Gute Fabrik, which most recently launched Mutazione in 2019.
In this talk, Hannah Nicklin joins Abertay University to talk about the material of storytelling, and the material conditions of practicing as a story professional in games. She will also chat with Abertay lecturers specifically about her most recent book Writing for Games which discusses the specific story practice of writing, a practice much more rarely discussed than narrative design.
