300 level undergraduate course

Students explore narrative concepts and strategies as they apply to video games, including the player-protagonist relationship, linear vs. open-world plot structure, narrative experiential density, ludonarrative and emergent gameplay, and narrative written for the style of immersive simulations. Building upon lectures, quizzes, and the in-class playing of artistically significant video games, students complete written analytical assignments and work collaboratively in small groups to develop narrative video game concepts.
