Game Stories
The first piece of writing that I reviewed was "Into The Woods: A Practical Guide to the Hero's Journey" by Bob Bates. In this piece of writing the author talks about how important story line and a hero are in games. By using the hero's journey to create a story, we can improve the experience of our game. Game's can use the same structure as films; the Three Act structure. This is a great way to create a memorable and enjoyable game.
The second piece of writing that I reviewed was "What Every Game Developer Need to Know about Story" by John Sutherland. This piece of writing covers all things story. It begins by talking about some common misconceptions about stories. It then goes on to describe how classical movies are structured and how we can apply this classic story structure to games.
