How to create a simulation where participants have a sense of
freedom and personal control while still maintaining the structure
necessary for an effective story is a difficult task indeed. This
book examines how to create an engaging, effective story (necessary
to teach participants), while relating practical considerations of
building a simulation. It also looks at stories as classic ways of
teaching and gathering knowledge and considers other theories of
interactive narrative design such as synthetic story creation and
management and participant-generated story experiences. It also
discusses enabling technologies in artificial intelligence,
synthetic characters design and development, speech recognition
technology, 3D modelling, and the future of story-driven games.
Story Driven Simulations reviews the existing efforts in this field
as well as focusing on the recent efforts of Paramount Pictures and
The Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of
Southern California, where this expert author team created
successful simulations for the U.S. Army, Department of Defense, as
well as other educational simulations.
In an age where digital technology makes just about anything
possible, Interactive Design for New Media and the Web demonstrates
how to realize that promise through the creation of outstanding
interactive programs. This hands-on, practical book examines the
ever-expanding capabilities of all forms of digital presentation
for increasing interactivity, and the design principles and
interface guidelines needed to deliver the required message or
story with this technology.

You're part of a new venture, an independent gaming company, and you are about to undertake your first development project. The client wants a serious game, one with instructional goals and assessment metrics. Or you may be in a position to green light such a project yourself, believing that it can advance your organization's mission and goals. This book provides a proven process to take an independent game project from start to finish. In order to build a successful game, you need to wear many hats. There are graphic artists, software engineers, designers, producers, marketers - all take part in the process at various (coordinated) stages, and the end result is hopefully a successful game. Veteran game producers and writers (Iuppa and Borst) cover all of these areas for you, with step by step instructions and checklists to get the work done. The final section of the book offers a series of case studies from REAL indy games that have been developed and launched succesfully, and show exactly how the principles outlined in the book can be applied to real world products. The book's associated author web site offers ancillary materials & references as well as serious game demos and presentations.
