In this episode of Win Conditions we sit down with Kyle Rowley, Game Director of Alan Wake 2.

I wanted to learn more about Kyle beyond just his work on Alan Wake. How does one go from a fan of Max Payne to working on other titles like Runescape and Cyberpunk? How does one sustain a 20-year career in a game dev, an industry notorious for it’s ups and downs?
