Speaker(s): | Daniel Nagler |
Company Name(s): | Large Animal Games |

Overview: | Set any ragtag band of unlikely video game heroes on the trail of a storyline, and a number of patterns are likely to emerge: how they relate to one another, how they accomplish their goals, even the arsenals they carry with them. Dan Nagler, writer for Large Animal Games, will lead a theory course on building the perfect team of game characters, by drawing from the narrative archetypes detailed at the writers' resource site, TVTropes.org. |
