As the videogame industry has grown up, the need for better stories
and characters has dramatically increased, yet traditional
screenwriting techniques alone cannot equip writers for the unique
challenges of writing stories where the actions and decisions of a
diverse range of players are at the centre of every narrative
experience. Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames was the
first book to demystify the emerging field of game writing by
identifying and explaining the skills required for creating
videogame narrative. Through the insights and experiences of
professional game writers, this revised edition captures a snapshot
of the narrative skills employed in today's game industry and
presents them as practical articles accompanied by exercises for
developing the skills discussed. The book carefully explains the
foundations of the craft of game writing, detailing all aspects of
the process from the basics of narrative to guiding the player and
the challenges of nonlinear storytelling. Throughout the book there
is a strong emphasis on the skills developers and publishers expect
game writers to know. This second edition brings the material up to
date and adds four new chapters covering MMOs, script formats,
narrative design for urban games, and new ways to think about
videogame narrative as an art form. Suitable for both beginners and
experienced writers, Game Writing is the essential guide to all the
techniques of game writing. There's no better starting point for
someone wishing to get into this exciting field, whether they are
new game writers wishing to hone their skills, or screenwriters
hoping to transfer their skills to the games industry.
