Mikael Hedberg is a former GAME-student, game designer at GRIN and current full time writer at Frictional Games in Helsingborg.
Hedberg introduces himself thusly;
I’m a writer who had the great fortune of working with both games and film. As an obsessive compulsive storyteller I spend my time
plotting against youthinking of new stories and how to tell them. For some reason I believe it’s in my authority to lecture you how to go about telling your stories.What a douche!
Frictional Games are currently working on Amnesia: The Dark Descent; a first person horror adventure due to be released summer 2010, but Mikael is kind enough to take the time to visit us and talk about writing in the game industry and do a workshop with our students.
