In this lecture:Chris Crawford “On Interactive Narrative”
3 APR, 5.00 - 6.15 pm CESTThe talk will revolve around the work Le Morte DArthur (erasmatazz.com/LeMorteDArthur.html). A work that is an interactive storyworld with genuine artistic content. As such, it will violate all your expectations. Indeed: It&#x27;s not a game. It&#x27;s not interactive fiction. It&#x27;s not a puzzle. It&#x27;s not action-packed. It&#x27;s not fun. If you&#x27;re a gamer, you&#x27;ll hate it and should not play it. If you like interactive fiction, you probably won&#x27;t like it. The reason such people should not play Le Morte D&#x27;Arthur is that it violates all the norms of these firmly established genres.<blockquote><a href="https://ericzimmerman.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3f20f66553c3d7b045f5ca007&amp;id=2486ec731c&amp;e=c6152fb7af" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Tags: #InteractiveNarratives #InteractiveStorytelling #gamedesign #art #storyworld</blockquote>Christopher Crawford is an American video game designer and writer.
