Covering roles from character design to audio, it offers actionable advice to create compelling, memorable stories that resonate with modern gamers and professionals alike. ## Description Video Game Storytelling provides developers with comprehensive, but easy-to-follow advice for facilitating the creation of compelling storylines in today's most popular and narratively successful video games. Video game writer and game writing instructor Evan Skolnick offers a clear and concise development reference guide for aspiring and professional developers, showing how each role (from character designer to animator to audio engineer and more) is impacted by and can affect the story/narrative of a game. This book aims to instill an understanding and appreciation of the basic storytelling principles that are essential for producing truly memorable video games that will bring today's savvy gamers back time and time again. Review: Every developer should read this - Very nice and interesting book, I agree with the author when he says that every game developer should be familiar with the concepts explained in this book, no matter what type of game he’s making. Very recommend reading. Review: Just Buy It - I almost don't want to leave this review because it's a secret that I want to keep to myself. This book is brilliant. Evan speaks as though listening to a friend as he breaks down the exposition of games to advise what works and what doesn't. He talks about character arcs, story structure, dialogue and much more. He knows his stuff and wants you to know it too. I'm not a video game writer, but a screenwriter, and this book is ideal for either storytelling platform because it easily cross-pollinates between the two. There are some books out there that are good for dipping in and out of, as and when. But this book is the only one that I read from cover to cover, again and again. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 145,585 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 63 in Games Programming 1,139 in Other Art Media & Techniques | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 401 Reviews | ## Images ![Video Game Storytelling: What Every Developer Needs to Know about Narrative Techniques - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CKYEut+YL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every developer should read this *by F***I on 29 May 2018* Very nice and interesting book, I agree with the author when he says that every game developer should be familiar with the concepts explained in this book, no matter what type of game he’s making.
