This online CPD will introduce you to the core methods of writing for computer games. Primarily, this will incorporate approaches to narrative design and player engagement, and introduce techniques to develop and refine world-building, character development and story structure. In addition, the course will examine important industry skills for narrative designers, such as pitch presentation, publisher interaction and approaches to funding opportunities.
This CPD is intended for anyone seeking to develop their writing skills to lead or support game development and familiarise themselves with the industry-level expectations of game designers with regards to narrative design. No prior skills are required, though we expect applicants will have an interest in creative writing or game production.
Assistant Professor David Stevenson – David holds a Ph.D. from Queen’s University, Belfast. He is the co-founder, and game and narrative designer, of the company Pigs in Blankets.
A Certificate of Completion will be provided when participants have completed all of the assignments.
