TAPS interactive writers
workshop
16 October 2002
Adrian Cox and Steve Trimingham attended the TAPS “Writing
for PC games” workshop this September in Hammersmith.
Present at the workshop where such experts as Gregg
Roach of Hyperbole Studios, Nick Cusworth of Argonaut Games and
Mark Eyles of Rebellion Games.
Of particular interest was Gregg Roach’s lecture
on Interactive Narrative. His PC CD-ROM game of X-Files in 1998
was a landmark in interactive design and his insights into the theory
and practice of non-linear narrative was of particular interest
to our company.
“We left with a clear sense of the industry’s
attitude towards the writer in the process of developing games”
said Adrian Cox.
“The description of the business from first
concept to final game; from developer to publisher to high street
was a great snapshot for us and gives us a clear model to follow
for our business”. |
