Title: To aspiring (game) writers: Storytelling Course Post by: Secretmapper on December 06, 2013, 01:09:18 AM Hey guys, Iversity is offering a free online course Future of Storytelling (https://iversity.org/c/6?r=c9c8c)
The quality is top-notch, and I seriously recommend it to aspiring game designers and writers. (You can skip to Chapter 6 which tackles storytelling in video games, but it’s interesting as a whole so I would also check the other chapters if I were you) Title: Re: To aspiring (game) writers: Storytelling Course Post by: wccrawford on December 06, 2013, 04:40:00 AM As someone who hasn't written a "story" since elementary school, this looks like it'll be right up my alley. I've recently been lamenting that I have no clue how to write a proper story, even though one of my best friends is a writer and my girlfriend has a degree in cinema. (Or something. I probably should pay better attention, huh?) I've always felt I had a talent for telling a story, but formulating it from scratch is my kryptonite. It has to be a real story at this point.
Anyhow, thanks for this! I plan to go through it and hopefully it'll be just what I need.

True that some Units have not much to do with storywriting (these about tv shows and web series), but they got me hooked nevertheless.
Title: Re: To aspiring (game) writers: Storytelling Course Post by: Secretmapper on December 25, 2013, 05:07:07 PM I disagree. I definitely see how it transcends to other media (like tv series and web shows). Saying that they are unrelated to storytelling is also like saying games are unrelated to it.
