Inhoud
In this elective you will explore the power of characters and story as tool to enhance game technologies. You will investigate the interplay between narrative design and game writing while experiencing the need for active collaboration with other fields to uphold narrative vision in projects. This is done by exploring how different narrative design features create space for content creation and how this works to establish narrative meaning for player action through storytelling.
The elective builds off the Hero's Journey story arc seen through the eyes of non-Western cultures, and helps students use character/story arcs that fit the profile of their target audience either in a gamification aspect or in a game itself.
You will practice maintaining narrative documentation and put this into practice in a wide range of narrative design forms, such as pitch writing, scripting, art briefing, dialogue, or voice acting.
