Storylines and interactive narrative structure have become essential elements in today's video games. This class explores the commonly adopted repertoire of immersive storytelling and narrative techniques in special relevance to video games and game players. It offers a hands-on approach in interrogating a variety of questions and issues as regards the narrative design of video games, how interactivity is acted out, how stories are constructed, put together, and the important role of a video game writer. Students will have the opportunity to work individually and in groups in practicing different narrative skills and strategies in the game design and development process.
