The Advanced Game Narrative Toolbox, 2nd Edition, is an updated version of The Advanced Game Narrative Toolbox, continuing where The Game Narrative Toolbox left off. While The Game Narrative Toolbox covered the basics of writing and narrative design for games, The Advanced Game Narrative Toolbox covers techniques and approaches for intermediate and professional writers.
This book covers topics such as how to adapt a novel to a game, how to construct transmedia worlds, and how to bring your content into a game. The second edition adds chapters on Unreal Engine, how to work with material for children, and how to overcome and work with communication biases. Each chapter is written by a professional with exceptional experience in the field and ends with an exercise encouraging you to try out what you learned.
