Institution:

Champlain College

Subject:

Description:

Credits: 3 Prerequisite(s): EGD-210 Only Game majors may enroll in this course. Currently offered: Spring 2008: Day/Evening (2) Description: Telling stories in games is not like telling stories in movies or books: the addition of interactivity robs writers of many of the tools used to create emotion, develop character arcs, and even maintain a consistent plot line. This class examines the conflicting demands of gameplay and story, and then discusses alternate story-telling methods that can transform stories in games from simplistic, clunky add-ons into mature and compelling art forms.
