Q&A from sekretagent
Can you introduce yourself and sekretagent?
?We?re film guys. I mean we have been recently. We?re young, so it?s kind of weird to think that we do anything for a living, but I guess yeah we?re in the film business. After college (Corey went to Harvard, Dooma went to Princeton) we went to grad school at USC for film (at the Peter Stark Producing Program). When that was all done we just started our own company. We called it sekretagent because we think it sounds cool. No special story there. We?re working on five studio films and two independent films at the moment.?
How did you get involved in this project? What?s your role?
?When we FIRST met with Ubisoft it was to discuss adapting one of their game properties into a television show. However, as we talked, they told us they were looking for writers to work on one of their upcoming games. And when we were told it was the sequel to Sands of Time, we wanted to be involved in any way possible. We can?t tell you how rewarding it?s been and how happy we are to have worked on such a challenging game.
Our role has been that of writers, and we?ve been involved in overseeing the integration of the story into the gameplay. It has been great. The team is incredible to work with -- a lot of fun, and extremely creative. The team here really values our artistic contribution, and they seem to understand how important story is to making a great game.?
Why have you decided to write stories for video games?
?We love games. So to have a chance to live out the dream of actually being involved in the creation and production of a game... how could we refuse??
