Beschreibung
Writing for video games requires a different skill set than linear media, like films or novels. In video games, highly interactive stories are the way of the future, but what really makes a story interactive? How much control should players be given? Do players really want that control in the first place? All these questions and more are examined in this definitive book. Features include descriptions of all major types of interactive stories, case studies of popular games (including Animal Crossing, The Sims, World of Warcraft, and many more), notes from notable game writers and designers, and an in-depth analysis of the results of a national survey on player storytelling preferences in games.
