Narrative Design for Games Presented by Andrew Greenberg

Games and stories are ancient forms of entertainment, but the modern game industry combines them in all-new ways. Join us for an exploration of the growing role of narrative design in interactive entertainment, ways for you to become a part of it, and a look at a new myth structure rising out of today’s games.
