The Manuscript

In this episode, we interviewed Pedro Alecrim, technical writer at Wildlife Studios to talk about games, and how words are part of how users interact with them. We focused our chat on the following topics: Pedro's career and how it feels to work in this industry; game development, and how it differs from regular app's development; community engagement; and finally, the particularities of tech and UX writing in games.
