Exploring the Hero's Journey | Memory Leak Episode 3
In this episode of The Memory Leak Podcast, John "BenderWaffles" Aljets is joined by his best friend Owen Poole to discuss an idea that all storytellers should be intimately aware of; the Hero's Journey. First purposed back in the early 1900s by a man named Joseph Campbell in his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, this structural tool has helped people craft their novels, short stories, movie scripts, and even video game plotlines for decades at this point. So naturally, its something worth talking about on this show! So join John and Owen as they take a look at a few examples across media, and talk about just how applicable to video games the whole idea is, all this and more as they explore the Hero's Journey!
