Explore videogame narrative through interactive fiction
In this workshop, students are introduced to narrative design concepts for videogames and interactive stories. They'll then plan, write and code their own piece of interactive fiction that utilises branching narrative techniques.
Students will:
- explore narrative design and the role of a narrative designer
- apply an understanding of narrative game features to an original work
- look at different types of interactive narrative forms such as linear, and branching, as well as features such as gating and variables
- paper prototype their narrative
- use interactive fiction software Twine to produce a playable story level featuring specialised code and prose
-include CSS coding, imagery (html) and sound (macros) into projects and consider user experience
