GAME-675 Writing for Interactivity (3)

This course examines storytelling strategies for digital games and other interactive media forms.

Particular attention is paid to both pre- existing and emergent development practices and technologies, as well as how writing for interactivity relates to more traditional dramatic writing and current research in the field.
