This one's a good reminder that there's no single road into games. Sangita Nuli came in through plays, film and TV scripts, and a talent agency video games desk — and for years Sangita was convinced making games was simply out of reach. The technology was scary. The interactivity was even scarier. Then Sangita stopped waiting and jumped.

What I loved about this conversation is how clearly Sangita’s old life feeds the new one. Reading twenty scripts a week and learning to sell what's good in them turned into a knack for pitching ideas and shaping other people's. Writing plays — and watching audiences react in real time — turned into a genuine love of playtesting and feedback. And a cancelled MMO at ZeniMax taught what Sangita now builds everything around: every single person on a team is a storyteller.

Highlights:

Why a single choice in the game Infamous changed how Sangita saw the whole medium
The "molecular level" story analysis learned via reading scripts at a talent agency
Going from rule-bound film and TV to the no-rules world of narrative design
The cold application — a fantasy noir graphic novel — that landed a AAA gig
What a cancellation AAA MMO taught about community, grief, and fearlessness
Why a weapon or a level can tell more story than any line of dialogue

Settle in for this one — it's a real masterclass in trusting your own voice and then handing the story to everyone around you.
