She breaks down the writing process into seven simple steps while also touching on the unique qualities of a video game narrative compared to the stageplay or screenplay. Sam reminds writers that script magic won't happen overnight. It's a journey. So give yourself plenty of time, encouragement, and chocolate chip biscuits 🍪

Meet the team 🎮
We're Sam and Kostia, a Kiwi and a Ukrainian, first-time game makers and full-time creatives. But we also happily hold the titles of innovators, articulators, and mischief-makers.
Welcome to our gaming collective called Spoonful of Wonder. Here you can find us tinkering on our debut game 'Copycat' and drinking tea. Our vision is to develop video games that ignite imagination, spark nostalgia and speak to the soul. Our creative practice sits at the alchemy of optimism, metaphor and magic—with the ambition to unearth the stronger side of humanity. We believe every game needs a spoonful of the sweet stuff.
