The Guardian Masterclass: Storytelling for games: An interactive workshop with Hannah Nicklin
An accessible and informative virtual workshop that will teach you the fundamentals of telling compelling stories in video games.
Suitable for anyone with a beginner or advanced interest in writing for games, or who wants to discover the key storytelling fundamentals for any work of fiction or narrative nonfiction, this fun and interactive workshop will help you press play on your plot.
Participants need to be comfortable installing and playing a game (which has simple and slow controls) on a PC or Mac.
Prior to the class, you will be sent a list of three easy & accessible games to play in advance, and will be given prompts to enable you to come prepared with your burning questions.
During the session, you will learn about the foundations of compelling game storytelling , and will participate in group analysis of the storytelling in the games you have played.
Hannah Nicklin is an award-winning narrative & game designer, writer, and academic (among other things) who has been practising for nearly 15 years.
