Kurzbeschreibung
Video games is a lucrative new market for scriptwriters but writing for video games is complex and very different to traditional media (tv or film). This practical guide shows how you can adapt your writing skills to this exciting medium. Written by an award-winning games writer, the book gives you a realistic picture of how games companies work, how the writer fits into the development process, and the skills required: from storytelling, to developing interactive narrative, characters and viewpoints, dialogue comedy and professional practice. Illustrated with examples from games and quotes from developers, writers and agents, this is a cutting edge professional writing guide at a very accessible price.

About the business not the craft
29. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There is one sentence toward the end of the book that I think sums up the whole book: "If this book has succeeded in its intention, you should now be in the position of understanding how a skilful writer fits within the game development process."
In fact, that's what this book is all about - each chapter analyses one aspect of the writer's work within the game development business. What this book won't tell you is how to improve your work how the work actually is done, but it does tell valuable information about how it fits in the grand-scheme of game development with an emphasis of interaction between the writer and the rest of the team.
If you are an indie and don't plan on ever becoming a professional game writer this book won't help you. It won't help you either if you are looking for techniques on writing for games. However, it is invaluable for people in the business or who plan entering it, covering even ways to promote yourself and your work.
I was unsure about rating it 3 or 4 stars, because other books do manage to cover both the business and the craft. But the emphasis on interaction and the depth of what it does cover are favorable, and I decided upon 4 stars.
