COMPANY/PUBLICATION: GAME DEVELOPER

Bryant Francis, Senior Editor at Game Developer, is looking for pitches:

I was not at Summer Games Fest! But I'm very glad Alessandro Fillari and George Yang were. They've turned in some great stories with us and you should read them. First up, why Escape Academy is getting PvP DLC (a wild concept to me): https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/pvp-in-escape-academy-it-s-a-better-fit-than-you-think

Can a DLC "fulfill the promise" of the original game? Maybe! Makes one think about Cyberpunk's weird road to "redemption" and how the tech problems got in the way of how cool it was: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/cyberpunk-2077-phantom-liberty-aims-to-fulfill-the-potential-of-the-original-game

There's more stories on the way—and if you want to pitch us pieces, please do! Send them to features(at)gamedeveloper(dot)com. Starting rates: $250 for 800 words (single interview), $350 for multi-source interview, up to 1,600 words.

CONTACT INFORMATION (please do not share the email address publicly):

• Questions/submissions: features@gamedeveloper.com
