Podcasts about Genese Davis

Ary and the Secret of Seasons is a video game about a young girl on a quest to save her land from the Evil Mage. And we're joined by her Lead Writer, Genese Davis, and Game Director, Seb Le Touze, to talk about how they created such a compelling game and character who is, without a doubt, a feminist role model. About Genese Davis and Seb Le Touze Genese Davis is the lead writer of Ary and the Secret of Seasons. She's an American novelist, online host, and video game creator, best known as the author of The Holder's Dominion and writer for MMORPG.com. Genese is also a speaker and writer about video game culture and its development within society and has made contributions to the Gamer Lit genre. Seb Le Touze is the Game Director for Ary and the Secret of Seasons. About Creating Feminist Characters in Ary How excited are we for this incredible interview about Ary and the Secret of Seasons with lead writer, Genese Davis, and game director, Seb? Full disclosure, we received a copy of Ary so that we could do a full review and also be totally prepared for this interview. The team put so much thought into every aspect of creating Ary and the Secret of Seasons. And honestly, they NAILED it. Genese talks about all the ways she brought Ary to life, the quips she gave the other characters in the game, and how they dealt with social and health issues, such as worthiness and Alzheimer's Disease. When asked if they set out to create a feminist role model in Ary, both agree that while it wasn't fully intentional, there was definite thought into creating a strong female character to empower everyone: girls, boys, and adults alike. We love Ary and feel she's a fantastic role model - both of us wishing we had more games with characters like Ary to look up to when we were growing up! Genese talks about a scene in the game where Ary is trying to speak amongst a group of men and getting totally talked over. Girl, haven't we all been there?? Her face says IT. ALL. The reason Genese wrote this scene in this way was from so many personal experiences and she's just tired of that shit (our words, not hers. She's WAY more polite!) Genese is pushing the convention with her work. It doesn't matter what you LOOK like, you have the ability to step into any role you want to. We have a great conversation about the realities of being a women in the game's industry. While it's getting better, there is still a long way to go. Genese explains, as well, her experience ranking in MMORPGs and how it was a very unfriendly environment for a woman. From Seb's point of view, as someone who hires for games, he is desperately urging more women to apply. We cry out for more female representation from the development side, but in order to get that, we need the women to apply. So there's your mission, Herringtons. If you want that job, APPLY. We're all gonna strive to #BeMoreAry. You in? You can read our full review of Ary and the Secret of Seasons! (https://geekherring.com/ary-seasons-review/) Quotes "We can make her have blonde hair and a cute dress and she can still be the scientist. I'm always trying to change that and trying to put my own two cents that you can look like anything and also step into any role." "Had I not made that one decision and stuck to my guns, my career as a writer would be very different, if not exist at all." "Instead of always relying on asking someone for advice, actually go and do the work. Actually go and take a class on what you want to do. Dip your feet into the pond and really feel what it feels like to do the job day in and day out."

Bestselling author William Bernhardt discusses the latest news from the worlds of publishing and books, then interviews the amazing Genese Davis, author of thrillers (The Holder's Dominion), film-related books, games, podcasts, science fiction, and much more.News Items:1) We lost William Goldman, screenplay writer and novelist, whose book Adventures in the Screen Trade changed the way many people viewed storytelling. Goldman said, "Writing is structure," and always emphasized the importance of laying out the essential elements to compose a spellbinding story.2) Wattpad is huge and expanding into film adaptions based upon Wattpad stories. This webpage has been used by many authors to post their work, to get feedback on drafts, and to increase their visibility, which in some cases has led to deals in traditional publishing and film/tv adaptations.3) Draft2Digital has partnered with Findaway Voices to give independent authors a new avenue for producing and distributing audiobooks. Digital audiobooks are the fastest-growing segment of the current book market. In the interview, Genese Davis discusses writing, the importance of maintaining focus, and marketing approaches that lead to sales and success. She also talks about the importance of speaking the truth, of emotional honesty, both in the promotion of your books and the books themselves. Davis has appeared on more than 500 convention panels in the last five years, which gives her enormous insight into what's happening in today's publishing world.

Seasons Greetings Gamers! It has been an amazing year for us at Videogame BANG! We started this podcast less than six months ago and in its short life span we have such a great time, and the show has become more successful than any of us really thought it would be by this point. Aaron and myself owe the success of the show 100% to our awesome listeners, and a group of very special friends that show up and support us either on the Mic or behind the scenes each week. We thought it would be cool to show our crew some love so we loaded up on some Pizza's Doritos and Mountain Dew for a Christmas Party VGB style with all our friends. This week we are presenting the Nerd Reactor, Top 15 games of 2013. While running down the list we set a timer and throughout the list, randomly, many of our friends and guests from shows past enter the studio and talk about the year in games. Legitimately this is my favorite thing we have ever done on the podcast. It was a time of celebration, remembrance, and review of 2013. A chance to talk about the origins of some of our deepest friendships, and even look a little bit into what we want to do in 2014. Please join us in this crazy adventure of an episode and we look forward to seeing you guys and girls in 2014.

She tells us about her current web series with Pixel Vision: The Gamer in You, and her humble beginnings in the video game world. You would think that after all of the excitement from Genese, we would just end the episode, but we here at Videogame BANG! are never satisfied! You know her from Geek and Sundry’s vlog ‘Word Play’ on YouTube and League of Legends ‘Summoner’s Showcase’, she is Nika Harper. She talks about life after the ‘Summoner’s Showcase’ and her passion for literature. Things get pretty heavy as we talk about forum trolls and white knights, and her life as a Slitheren.
