The Advanced Game Narrative ToolboxUdgave 2

The Advanced Game Narrative Toolbox 2nd Edition is an updated version of The Advanced Game Narrative Toolbox, continuing where The Game Narrative Toolbox left off. While the Game Narrative Toolbox covered the basics of writing and narrative design for games, The Advanced Game Narrative Toolbox will cover techniques and approaches for the intermediate and professional writer. The book will cover topics such as how to adapt a novel to a game, how to construct transmedia worlds, and how to bring your content into the game. The second edition adds a chapter on the Unreal Engine, how to work with material for children, and how to overcome and work with communication biases. Each chapter is written by a professional with exceptional experience in the field of the chapter and ends with an exercise encouraging you to try out what you learned.
