Netflix's 'Ultraman: Rising' Promoted With Toys, Billboards in Times Square - Media Play News

BioShock has sold over 43 million copies, generated half a billion dollars for Take-Two Interactive. Any rational executive would have greenlit BioShock 4, collected the check, and called it a career milestone.

In 2014, Ken Levine walked away.

“I knew it was gonna be a very long period of R&D,” he tells me, “and I didn’t know how to do that at a company that had 200 people in it.”

So he left. Founded Ghost Story Games with a skeleton crew. Gave himself permission to spend five years, five full years, just figuring out what the hell he was even trying to build.

The first line he wrote for what became Judas: “I like eating at vending machines because I don’t have to interact with waiters.”

That’s the man who walked away from half a billion dollars. The guy who chose machines over people. And he just spent ten years building something that helps other people feel less alone.

At 3 PM on a run through Boston, Ken Levine had a thought that would cost him a decade. What if a character in his game could look at you, really look

The Man Who Chose Machines Over People, And What Ten Years Taught Him About Building the Impossible.

Ken Levine has always pushed the edges of storytelling.

He’s long argued that video games can be just as artistically and narratively rich as cinema, and honestly, he’s proven it.

Beyond being one of the most influential game creators of our generation, he’s also stepped into Hollywood through screenwriting and directing projects. 

His approach to creativity, world-building, and character psychology holds lessons for every industry; not just gaming.

Purpose Made Podcast exists to share the ideas of people who redefine what’s possible.

Ken Levine has been building Judas for 10 years. 

It took him 5 of those just to shape the characters. 

In my next episode, he opens up about the challenges behind creating a world where every choice reshapes the story. 

Comment KEN and I'll send you the link the moment the episode drops.

I sat down with one of the most influential game developers of our time, and what fascinated me most was understanding his 'why.'

Ken Levine isn't building games for entertainment alone, he's creating spaces where players can escape, where agency isn't just a feature but the foundation.

In Judas, every choice you make changes the narrative. It's intentional. It's personal.

Our conversation covers:
✦ The philosophy behind player-driven narratives
✦ The creation of Bioshock and what led to Judas
✦ What it actually takes to build legendary games

No gatekeeping. Just honest, in-depth insights from a master craftsman.

These guys are dominating the space of non-traditional IPs adaptation.

We dived into what makes a good adaptation, and where is the transmedia industry heading. If you're in this space, or just don't want to be left behind, you'll want to hear the full conversation.

Comment STORY KITCHEN and I'll send you the podcast episode.

Ken Levine created one of gaming's most successful franchises. Then he walked away from it.

Not because it failed. Because staying comfortable meant staying stuck.

After Bioshock Infinite, he left a 200-person studio to start over with a small team. 
No proven IP. 
No safety net. 

Just a vision for something that had never been done.

Genius isn't about finding comfort in success. It's about choosing the harder path when the easy one stops challenging you.
