EGD 310 - Interactive Storytelling

Telling stories in games is not like telling stories in movies or books: the addition of interactivity robs writers of many of the tools used to create emotion, develop character arcs and even maintain a consistent plot line. This class examines the conflicting demands of gameplay and story, and then discusses alternate story-telling methods that can transform stories in games from simplistic, clunky add-ons into mature and compelling art forms.
