PG02-Prep

Unity Game company is going to work with you on Wednesday from 15.00 - 17.00, therefore, I wish to have enough time beforehand to introduce and discuss your PG02 cycle 1 project brief.

Some reading for you and I recommend you to read/watch the below for PG02 start.

Ludologists VS Narratologists
Focus mechanics of game play VS studying games alongside other storytelling media
Spatial Narratives VS Game storytelling concept

Interactivity is almost opposite of narrative
narrative depends on author/interactive depends on player
