Hey, guys! Teacher Sonny D. here again!
Continuing from last year’s post, here is the latest interview with award-nominated writer, artist, and games designer Steve Ince, who talks about his work as the producer on the legendary point & click adventure game Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror.

We’ve also included the BEST BITS at the end to keep you entertained! (I bet you will laugh!)
In this video (Part 3), I chat with award-nominated writer, artist & games designer Steve Ince (‪‪@Steve_Ince‬ ), who has worked on a wide range of highly successful video games, including Beneath a Steel Sky, the Broken Sword series, In Cold Blood, The Witcher, the So Blonde series and many others. With over 30 years of development experience and a wide range of styles from casual to hardcore, from comedy to serious drama, from cute animals to heavy action, Steve is a man of many talents. Additionally, he’s authored a book, Writing for Video Games, designed his own web comics and games, offers his services as a consultant and regularly speaks at gaming and writing events. Ince continues working as a freelancer and was the Video Games Chair within the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain up to July 2023.
In this interview (Part 3), we cover a variety of topics including:
  • Working as the producer again on the classic point & click adventure game Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror with ‪‪@RevolutionSoftwareOfficial‬
  • How they managed to release it only a year after the first groundbreaking game
  • Why some people actually preferred Broken Sword II despite being much shorter than its predecessor
  • AND MUCH MORE!
This is Part 3 of 6, so please subscribe so you don’t miss out on any new interviews!
