Comments on: Video Game Writing https://www.forbeck.com/2008/05/27/video-game-writing/ Award-winning & New York Times-bestselling author and game designer Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:23:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Matt Forbeck https://www.forbeck.com/2008/05/27/video-game-writing/#comment-45551 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:23:24 +0000 http://www.forbeck.com/2008/05/27/video-game-writing/#comment-45551 It could interest both for sure. It gives some nuts and bolts details about how to write various types of games, and it includes a few script samples.

For programming tips, though, I’d turn elsewhere. There are dozens of books out there, so just look for one that fits your interests best.

I’m developing an interest in writing games, partly because of an interest in storytelling, partly because of an interest in actually programming the games. Just looking for a recommendation: is this the kind of the book that only interests with the first of these interests, or one which could interest both? Do you have a recommendation for a book on video game storytelling for someone interested in both?
cheers,
Ross

I haven’t had a chance to do more than breeze through it yet, but it looks great, both in terms of topics and writing.
