Gaider weighed in on the matter, emphasizing that writing is an often undervalued discipline. He remarked, “It’s something that everyone thinks they can do (‘I can write a sentence! I know what a story is!’), and frankly, the difference between good and bad writing is lost on many, anyhow.”
Having left BioWare in 2016, Gaider is currently working on his new title, Stray Gods: the Roleplaying Musical, under his studio, Summerfall Studios. The game’s premise is an imaginative one, set in a supernatural version of the modern world, where players follow the story of Grace, a woman bestowed with the power to pull people into musical numbers by one of the Ancient Greek Muses.
