About this Course
Writing for video games is truly a new frontier, a place where writers and game designers are still learning, innovating and pioneering bold approaches to telling stories. This course is your introduction to this frontier. We'll explore interactive storytelling as well as touch on the history of video games and the kinds of games that have been developed since the medium was born. We'll discuss the complex, collaborative process of game development and hear from working game writers about their jobs in the game industry.
