Every writer dreams of creating their own game world and telling their own stories. But creating a new game from scratch is different from working on an established franchise. If you’re writing for Star Wars or Assassin’s Creed or the Marvel Universe, the groundwork has already been laid for you. But what if you are the person who has to lay that groundwork? Where do you start? How do you decide which, among the endless story options, is the right one? How do you create a story that plays nice with the gameplay and pulls the player in? Alex Epstein, an experienced narrative director who has worked on half a dozen new IPs, takes you step by step through the process of creating compelling new worlds and characters that feel real. Of course, many challenges are the same, whether you’re creating your own game or working within a franchise. How do you make players think they have maximum freedom when they absolutely do not? What makes players inhabit a game story, not just skip past it? How can "dirty narrative" (a term Epstein coined) increase player engagement? Packed with practical tips, Crafty Game Writing: Secrets of Great Videogame Narrative will help you understand the invisible infrastructure of player‐pulled storytelling for video games – whether you aspire to make your own indie game or create the Next Big Thing for a AAA studio. Features: This book is packed with tools to help the writer not only know what to write, but also how to write it well The author has created the narrative for half a dozen entirely new games (not based on prior IP) and discusses how to build characters and worlds out of nothing. (Note: most video game writers, including game writing book writers, have worked in franchises) This book includes the semi‐heretical "dirty narrative" writing technique, using mysteries, absences, and translucent liars to pull the player into engagement with the game world and story

With a thorough knowledge of the basics and consistent practice of the essential techniques, anyone, says William Rivers, can write effective and powerful prose and often cross over the fine line between art and craft. Convinced that a "plain style" -- concise, precise, informal -- is the backbone of most good writing, Rivers examines its components. The importance of voice, tone, and flow are all explored. Chapter by chapter, he delves into the distinctive characteristics of writing that informs and explains, depicts, convinces, and describes action. Dozens of techniques for adding color, flavor, and texture to the basic plain style are detailed, illustrated with examples from a wide variety of professional writing. The last chapter, "A Handbook for Writers," is a functional alphabetical listing of the main points of punctuation, spelling, usage, and grammar. -- From publisher's description.

Writing as Craft and Magic, Second Edition, outlines a compelling approach to conceiving, reporting, organizing, and writing articles for today's media. The book revolves around the central idea that writers improve most quickly by combining the powers of technique ("craft") with creativity ("magic"). Applying this method to news and feature writing--both print and online--it focuses on leads, organization, transition, clarity, drama, and other elements that drive good writing toward excellence. Aimed at students in upper-level undergraduate writing and reporting courses, Writing as Craft and Magic provides a clear and succinct instructional system--with practical models, a wealth of examples, and step-by-step guides--to help students understand and apply craft and magic to daily assignments. Author Carl Sessions Stepp, a seasoned journalist at the national level, structures his system in three parts. He first evokes the art of writing, then applies that art to standard journalistic writing, and concludes with a strong section on advanced writing techniques for features. He also offers advice and tips on how newsrooms currently operate in the age of multimedia journalism. This revised edition includes an expanded exercise section at the end of each chapter, more coverage of the demands of multimedia journalism (convergence), and updated chapters on incorporating the Internet into research and writing for the daily news cycle.
