"I wish we had a book like this 30 years ago... Our generation of game writers and developers (whose sanity barely survived the late 80's thru early 90's) had to learn to do it on our own - on the fly - no drivers' manual or safety net. So how amazing is it to find this wealth of practical knowledge, proven experience and genuine inspiration for upcoming game writers today? Very clearly, Brian and Diandra have poured their passion, creativity and many, many experiences into this book. You wanna write games? Good. Start here." - Chris Metzen , Executive Creative Director, Warcraft "I had the great fortune of working with Brian and experienced his immense talent in action. Leading a story during the process of game development requires a unique interdisciplinary set of skills - vision, story chops, diplomacy, and the ability to creatively direct. This means communicating to a vast group of disparate disciplines (programmers, designers, artists, producers, etc.) who each need to do their work in concert, driving toward the same narrative goals and creative north star of the game. You have to also understand the craft of dramatic writing and bring a fresh voice that begets unexpected and delightful dialog and playable set pieces. You solve puzzles - working closely with designers when things don't work, facilitating gameplay and revising story - and you have to always keep your eyes on the long term goal - shipping something great! Brian has all of that skill and experience, and most importantly for his and Diandra's book, the skill to teach it. The Definitive Game Narrative Guide offers clear insight to what's needed to succeed as a writer in the game industry. It's a quest giver that can prep you for the adventures ahead!" - James Waugh , Senior Vice President Franchise Story and Creative Strategy, Lucasfilm " The Definitive Game Narrative Guide is an invaluable guide to the fundamental building blocks of storytelling in games. From the first steps to the final polish, the authors guide the reader seamlessly through the entire narrative process. Full of lessons, tips, and real-world examples from two accomplished industry veterans with over thirty combined years of experience, this book is a must read for any writer interested in a career in the video game industry." - Drew Karpyshyn , lead writer: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 .

- g***t (180)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseSeller is an absolute nightmare. Seller is a crook. Seller did not send the item. Seller left me a back feedback comment disguised as positive feedback in order to circumvent ebay rules. I waited weeks before I even complained to Ebay. Would you wait over a month for a book to be shipped? Doubtful. Better late than never, except this time its never. Seller is likely a drop shipper. Avoid! Thank me later.
