Do you want to turn your talent for writing into a narrative design career in the games industry? It’s never been a better time to be a writer for video games. You’re tapping into an industry that was worth more than $120 billion dollars in 2019, and it’s still growing. And it’s an industry that needs great storytellers. But there's a BIG difference between a great story and a great game story. Traditional stories are told. Game stories are experienced. That's why video game narratives need a totally different design approach. So how do you apply your scriptwriting, storylining, poetic, copywriting, prose producing skills to an audience that won’t sit still and an industry that’s ever changing? That’s what this book is about! I’ve been a narrative designer for over a decade, as well as a novelist and a scriptwriter / storyliner for TV and comics. I love playing games, and even more, I love helping game developers realize their storytelling aspirations. Nothing delights me more than a game that's both fun to play and delivers a satisfying story experience. In this book, I'll share both the evergreen principles and practical techniques that I’ve learned and developed during my narrative design career so that you can position yourself for your first game writing gig. And if you’re an experienced narrative designer already, you’ll still find plenty of insights that you can apply to your trade. I’ll say it again, “the games industry needs you!” Play is what we do, but story is why we do it.

Narrative Design für Indie-Entwickler steckt voller unkomplizierter, leicht umsetzbarer Ratschläge. Es lohnt sich!" - Chris Bourassa, Creative Director von Darkest Dungeon "Die wahre Stärke des Buchs ist, dass es sich direkt an Indie-Entwickler richtet und die dazu passenden Beispiele gleich mitliefert." - Steve Ince, Schöpfer von Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle Ihr wollt ein Videospiel machen? Toll! Ihr wollt eine Geschichte erzählen? Fantastisch! Ihr wollt ein Videospiel machen, das eine Geschichte erzählt? Was? Seid ihr verrückt?! Das war ein Scherz – oder so ähnlich. Ihr müsst nicht verrückt sein, um mit eurem Indie-Spiel eine gute Geschichte zu erzählen, aber ihr solltet schon den Verstand verloren haben. Damit meine ich, ihr solltet alles aus eurem Hirn verbannen, was euch Hollywood oder Triple-A über Spiele und Stories gelehrt haben. Füllt euren Verstand stattdessen mit all jenen Dingen, die mit eurem kleinen Budget tatsächlich funktionieren. Dreiakt-Struktur? Als ob ihr ein riesiges Dreieck durch einen winzigen Kreis quetschen wollt. Heldenreise? Damit werdet ihr so schnell nirgendwo landen. Autorität des Autors? Ihr wollt mich aufziehen, oder?

Methoden, mit denen ihr die Vorstellungskraft eurer Spieler sprengen werdet und nicht euer Budget. Wer bin ich? Und wisst ihr überhaupt, wie komisch es sich anfühlt, euch selbst in der dritten Person zu beschreiben? Edwin McRae arbeitet seit vielen Jahren als Narrative Designer in der Indie-Szene. Nun hat er all seine hart erarbeitete Erfahrung und seine Weisheit zusammengeworfen und in ein lehrreiches Buch verpackt. Für weniger als ein Hearthstone-Willkommenspaket oder ein paar Hundert Clash of Clans-Edelsteine könnt ihr nun herausfinden, wie ihr Spieler mit eurer Story in euer Indie-Spiel hineinzieht und sie unterhaltet. Ihr wollt ein Indie-Spiel machen, das eine Geschichte erzählt? Cool!

If you know nothing about game development, you're basically me before I started working on my first game DARQ. This book assumes no knowledge of game development on the reader's part. As a first-time developer with no prior experience in coding, modeling, texturing, animation, game design, etc., I managed to launch DARQ to both commercial success and critical acclaim. With zero dollars spent on marketing, it was featured in major media outlets, such as IGN, Kotaku, PC Gamer, GameSpot, Forbes, and hundreds of others. Ultimately, DARQ became #42 Most Shared PC Video Game of 2019, according to Metacritic, with the average user rating of 9 out of 10. In my book, I'm sharing with you exactly how I did it. The book guides you through a step-by-step process of making a game: from downloading a game engine to releasing your first commercial title. The book features advice from 15 industry professionals, including Mark Kern (team lead of World of Warcraft), Quentin De Beukelaer (game designer of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed Unity, Ghost Recon Breakpoint), Bjorn Jacobsen (sound designer of Cyberpunk 2077, Divinity: Fallen Heroes, Hitman), Austin Wintory (Grammy-nominated composer of Journey, ABZÛ, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate), and others. The foreword is written by my mentor John Corigliano, Oscar, Pulitzer Prize, and 5-time Grammy Award-winning composer.

"what makes "In Another Life" work is the strong emotional core, the sense of place, the historical suspense and the characterization that makes the reader root for Lia"-Seattle Times Steeped in the rich history and romantic landscape of the Languedoc region, In Another Life is a story of love that conquers time and the lost loves that haunt us all. Historian Lia Carrer has finally returned to southern France, determined to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. But instead of finding solace in the region's quiet hills and medieval ruins, she falls in love with Raoul, a man whose very existence challenges everything she knows about life-and about her husband's death. As Raoul reveals the story of his past to Lia, she becomes entangled in the echoes of an ancient murder, resulting in a haunting and suspenseful journey that reminds Lia that the dead may not be as far from us as we think. Steeped in the rich history and romantic landscape of rural France, In Another Life is a story of love that conquers time, and the lost loves that haunt us all.
