This online Narrative Design course is intended for beginners and veteran game designers interested in creating compelling stories for video games. This course will cover the theory and software tools used to develop your narrative ideas into entertaining and meaningful stories.

While writing for games certainly involves putting words to paper, it also requires Narrative Designers to be aware of the interactive nature of storytelling in games, something which is both a unique characteristic and a rewarding challenge of the medium.

Whether you’re interested in exploring narratives for single-player or multiplayer games, or dramatic or lighthearted experiences, if you desire to bring stories to life in games, knowledge of specific skills, practices, and theories will aid you in this journey. Regardless of the development team you find yourself contributing to (indie, AAA, or a personal project), this course lays the foundations necessary for transforming a story idea into a video game narrative.

By the end of the course, you will have created a range of material ready to put directly into your writing portfolio with the knowledge of the following steps you will need to break into the industry.
