In the 1990s, the Personal Computer (or PC) was on the rise in
homes, and with it came new genres of play. Yet most of the games
in these new genres featured fantasylands or humorous science
fiction landscapes with low stakes and little to suggest the
potential of the PC as a serious space for art and play. Jane
Jensen's work and landmark Gabriel Knight series brought a new
darkness and personality to PC gaming, offering a first powerful
glimpse of what games could be as they came of age. As an author
and designer, Jensen brought her approach as a designer-writer
hybrid to the forefront of game design, with an approach to
developing environments through detailed research to make game
settings come to life, an attention to mature dilemmas and complex
character development, and an audience-driven vision for genres
reaching beyond the typical market approaches of the gaming
industry. With a brand new interview with Jensen herself, Anastasia
Salter provides the first ever look Jensen's impact and role in
advancing interactive narrative and writing in the game design
process.
