As the lead writer of Squadron 42, I bet it's a fairly challenging project?
Dave HaddockLead Writer
Yeah. I mean, there's a lot to account for. It's a pretty sprawling, epic story. And then mixed into that is all the wingmen and the personalities that you have to kind of manage while on board the ship. It's a lot of variations, a lot of characters, a lot of stuff to keep track of.

And you can have variant answers, or what happens in the story can actually change the direction it goes. So it's got to be like writing multiple stories at once.
Dave HaddockLead Writer
Yeah, it's really crazy. I had no idea. You play games like The Last of Us and Call of Duty and stuff like that, and it's kind of a very linear, progressive thing. So you think that it's a very straightforward method of storytelling. But even those, it's a really complicated medium.
