You’re SO mature! Is Storytelling in Games Coming of Age? is the title of my panel coming up at PAX Prime next week! While you may think you already know the answer, join me and my other esteemed writing colleagues as we discuss what’s working and what isn’t in the world of narrative and games. Of course, there’s still time to bone up on the latest games that are examples and counterexamples of great game storytelling. Got a favorite… that’s not LAST OF US? Got a least favorite… that’s not LAST OF US? Drop a comment and share your opinion, or join us for the panel:
You’re SO mature! Is Storytelling in Games Coming of Age?
When: Saturday, August 30, 2014, 7pm
Where: Sphinx Theater, Penny Arcade Expo (PAX)
It feels like video games have been around for ages, but in truth they’re still a relatively young medium. In the last few years we’ve witnessed them beginning to take on more serious subjects and mature themes in their narrative. Is this the start of the adulthood of storytelling in games? Join our all-star panel of game writers and narrative experts as we discuss this exciting new direction in game narrative and speculate on a bold new future of interactive storytelling.
