Content

In this Narrative Design elective, individual students will work on a Narrative Design Canvas and a representation of their own work combining game mechanics and narrative into an interactive experience. To do this, students will be mentored along this process through workshop-style courses that focus on building specific connections and narrative considerations. Students will be challenged with examples of works with diverse storytelling, theme, interesting characters, plot conflicts, world-building, and other narrative design elements.
