The course is structured in a consequential way, starting from how a story is divided and the creation of the macrostructure of the plot of the game, and then moving on how to write the characters (their personalities, their psychology, their ambitions), and then to learn in detail how to write dialogues and cutscenes (therefore the principles of game storytelling), up to the writing of the actual script (the game script), containing everything we need to define the design of our game.

1 – The Three Act Structure of a Story

2 – Character Characterization and Narrative Arcs
