This is the personal blog of Chris Bowring. He started it as a semi-professional, video game enthusiast, content creator / university student. He went through a few awkward years where he interviewed game developers on podcasts, wrote political commentaries and championed the need for mental health awareness. Now he's teamed up with some other guys, started this company, and talks in the third person. To find out what narrative driven games Chris and Quiet Stories are developing, follow this blog or check out Quiet Stories on Twitter (@OurQuietStories), Instagram (@quiet_games_mag) or Facebook (Quiet Stories).
Episode 7 of Fist Fight will (for now) be the last. Now that Quiet Stories is transitioning into game development we just don’t have the time to continue this great series. For this final episode Nick stands in for Casey to discuss A Way Out and Chris interviews one of the developers behind Mulaka.

This week we debate whether the Shadow of the Colossus remake did enough to stand out in 2018, interview the Creative Director behind The Station and break down how to craft a narrative focused game.
This week Casey nitpicks the amazing Dying Light, and we sit down with the Schacht team to discuss how they transitioned their game from a university project, to a commercial product.
This week on Fist Fight we get heated over Monster Hunter World and then interview some AAA developers who worked on Dead Island 2, but are now focused on their Xcom-like game, All Walls Must Fall. Find out what going indie and using Kickstarter taught them.
This week we weren’t able to bring on any developers, so we’re giving you a double dose of debate. We discuss whether Prey is worthy of being called one of the best games of 2017, then argue over whether the competitive nature of Hidden Agenda really panned out.
You can find Fist Fight on iTunes, SoundCloud and on the Quiet Stories YouTube channel.

Hey guys I just reached a very exciting personal milestone! I recently took part in my first developer interview. Several weeks back I reviewed the emotional puzzle/ platformer In Between. And last Friday I got the opportunity to speak with a member of German developer Gentlymad. We discussed aspects of the games unique mechanics and the planning that goes into designing puzzles. But we also delved into the personal motivations behind In Between’s tragic story and how very few critics resonated with their approach to design.
