Course Description
How do video games affect us when we play them? How do we experience narrative in video games differently than we do in movies or in books? What do video games bring out of us when we lose ourselves in them? And what do we bring from ourselves and our cultures to video games?
This course focuses on creative writing (especially narrative) in video games and creative writing (analytical and subjective) about video games. We will play games and read and write about playing games as creative writers, culminating in writing, play-testing, and revising a simple game.
