The remarkable banter of Cory Barlog and Neil Druckmann on the creative process


Cory Barlog and Neil Druckmann had a remarkable conversation at the Dice Summit about their approaches to creativity.

There’s a phrase that perhaps is popular in all creative endeavors, but I notice it a lot in games: “I’m concerned about…” It’s usually the lead-in to a subject on a Monday morning when someone has processed over the weekend and realized they said something insane. Stephen Chang was the voice actor for Jessie in The Last of Us Part III grew up playing point and click adventure games. Finally you reach the summit, and it’s the most amazing and horrible thing all at the exact same time, because when you get to the top, this demon obsession inside of your head doesn’t shut up, unless you appreciate the moment, the smell of the air, the sound of this successful silence that you persevered and struggled and worked so hard to get to.
