This was great insight about writing content for AI characters. This was Jon Snoddy in last week’s interview:
“A writer [for TV] thinks about a story: they come up with an idea, they come up with a character. They start sketching out that character, thinking about where they came from, and some things about them. They start laying out storylines. There's all this detail and they create all the stuff around it that informs the script.
“But they hand in dialogue and some stage notes, and then they're done! All that other stuff they made kind of just goes away.
“[With Operative Games] it's flipped. We don't need the dialogue. So all that stuff that they used to throw away is the very stuff that they turn in now.”
