GAME 201 Narrative Design Fundamentals
Students will study the structures, styles, rhythms and principles of story world development, and how it can translate between various forms of media. Focus is on breathing life into compelling characters with genuine dialog, proper use of voice, consistent points of view, and revealing the fictional world through expressive sensory imagery. Through in-class readings, workshops, and group critiques of student work, student worldbuilders will adapt traditional narrative principles to realize solid structure, texture, and pacing to craft powerful stories, regardless of media platform.
