Listen "S02:E07 | Creative Chat with Suzanne Wallace: Taking Risks, Gamifying Creative Work, and Telling Small-Scale Stories"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to another Creative Chat! This week, we're talking with Suzanne Wallace, the founder and creative director of IndieBard, a creative studio that specializes in small-scale storytelling: specifically, trailers for video games. Just so you know, Suzanne has it all: she's warm, funny, fabulous, and so dang insightful about the world of video games — particularly indies — and how to tell an amazing distillate story in a visual format. (Plus, she's one of my favorite folks. <3) And, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!ResourcesIndieBard | Suzanne's studio website@SuzIndieBard | Suzanne on TwitterLakeburg Legacies | Steam page | Published by Ishtar Games / "A social-based village management sim where love is your favorite resource."Strange Horticulture | Game website | Developed by Bad Viking & published by Iceberg Interactive / "An occult puzzle game in which you play as the proprietor of a local plant store."Derek Lieu Creative | Studio website | Suzanne's recommended resource for game trailer tips and tricksThe Wreck Thread | Suzanne's amazing Twitter thread in re: the making of the trailer for The Wreck video gameThe Wreck | Game website | Published by The Pixel Hunt / "A mature 3D visual novel about sisterhood, motherhood, grief, and survival."Dredge | Game website | Developed by Black Salt Games & published by Team 17 / "A single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent."
