Global Game Jam 2016 - Narrative Design 101
This was a brief, one hour intensive that I taught at the 2016 Global Game Jam at Microsoft HQ in New York City. The advice is specifically tailored for shorter gameplay experiences (between 5 to 10 minutes). This is a recording of our livestream on Twitch TV, so my apologies for the inconsistent audio. I also apologize to Geico for saying that I hate you. I still do, but I apologize for saying it.
Developing Characters For Games
I have a full ninety minute video that I give everyone who signs up for my newsletter which teaches a technique for creating characters that will work in video games, but I've put the first half of it here for free use and easy access.
I split it into six different sections for easy reference. I was also sick at the time of this recording, and so I respectfully request that you not snicker at my funny-sounding voice.
