Beschreibung

In From Pixels to Prose: What Video Games Taught Me About Storytelling writer and games journalist Nadia Oxford traces how a lifetime spent in digital worlds shaped her craft and her understanding of narrative. From the pixelated drama of Donkey Kong to the emotional depths of Final Fantasy VI and Dragon Quest III, Oxford reveals how video games taught her about character, conflict, and the art of worldbuilding.

Blending humor, cultural insight, and personal history, From Pixels to Prose is a love letter to classic gaming and a testament to the stories hidden in our cartridges and childhoods. Oxford's reflections will make you laugh, think, and see video game stories in a whole new light.

Über den Autor

Nadia Oxford, born Nadia Eisner, gave away most of her personal secrets in this book, but she's happy to do a recap for you. Nadia entered the Game of Life in 1980 - not to be confused with the board game Game of Life, which has little plastic pieces Nadia enjoyed chewing on even past teething [...] a college dropout, Nadia had more than enough time to slum around the internet. She started writing about games for websites and magazines in 2004, and if this lumbering LiveJournal entry is any indication, she's still doing [...] Nadia isn't writing, she's podcasting. She's the co-host of the Axe of the Blood God podcast, which talks about RPGs old and new, eastern and western. She's also and is a regular on Retronauts, which is a podcast for retro game fans who've been in outer space. Just kidding. Please listen to Retronauts even if you've never been to space. [...] lives in Toronto with her husband and whichever cat(s) the universal cat distribution system foists upon her at any given time.
