William Pugh

William Pugh is a game writer and designer who by the age of 20 already had a remarkable three BAFTA nominations to his name. His game, The Stanley Parable, was BAFTA-nominated for Debut Game, Game Innovation and Story, with a fourth nomination going to Kevin Brighting for Performer as the game’s narrator.

William has continued building and refining his team and has a pilot television script in production. He has had mentoring sessions with Richard Ayoade and Rob Yescombe. William also took part in a storytelling masterclass with BAFTA Scotland for an audience of career starters.

William says: “I want to diversify as a creative person. I’ve had the privilege and scariness of not going to university – The Stanley Parable was my university – so I’m still finding my path. I feel the momentum from The Stanley Parable is all very conceptual, whereas this next year will be a great opportunity for me to turn that into something tangible.”
