ENGL 2250 - Narrative Structure in Games


Prerequisite: ENGL 1112  or ENGL 1113  or ENGL 1114 . A foundational course in the narrative methods and storytelling aspects of games. This course will introduce students to literary, rhetorical, and narrative theories that help us to understand games as story-driven media. Particular attention will be given to the ways that games both overlap and diverge from storytelling methods in other print and visual media. Students will study the narrative aspects of many different types of games and apply what they have learned to create their own narrative game. 3 credits.
