Although the game industry becomes more and more diverse every year we still tend to see the same types of stories and heroes over and over again. This workshop will help participants step away from archetypical cliches and create new worlds. We look to other cultures and settings and learn how to incorporate them in our works while staying true to ourselves and the source materials.
Part of the workshop is dedicated to creating new and believable characters while taking inspiration from our own lives and inner conflicts. Of course these characters need a voice of their own and the final part will be dedicated to finding this.
Participant requirements:An open mind and a basic knowledge of writing terminology is all that's required. This workshop encourages the participants to actively participate.
Tools participants should bring:
- Notebook
- Optional: laptop with Twine pre installed
Intended audience:Primarily for game writers & narrative designers but also for anyone with an interest in storytelling
