Game Writing
A video game can be so much more than something to pass the time: it can be a gripping emotional experience, a heart-pounding adventure, immersive, beautiful, and the medium allows the players to be part of it instead of an abject observer or consumer. The future of narrative storytelling is in the interactive space.
