Description

Story Mode offers an accessible entry-point into writing and designing complex narrative video games. This textbook combines game design with creative writing techniques to make the skills necessary to consume and create digital stories attainable and fun.

The book provides low-cost, accessible tools and instruction that bridge the knowledge gap for creative writers, showing them how to merge their skill-set with the fundamentals of game creation. It is divided into four sections, covering history and genre diversity, traditional writing approaches in game writing, game studies concepts, and practical elements of work-shopping and collaborative writing.

By exploring these topics, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how to approach games from a designer's perspective and produce their own games that push stories beyond the page and written word. With its focus on inclusivity and access, Story Mode is an ideal resource for writers looking to expand their skills and create engaging digital content.
