Writers Blog: ''The Future of Storytelling in Games''

Welcome back to Austin writers.

Breakthroughs in technology have changed the way that stories are told in games. With this in mind, the advisory board has been hard at work developing sessions where you can connect with other writers to explore what is currently happening, what to expect soon and what is possible on the horizon of interactive storytelling.
We have tailored all sessions to fit specifically into one of our three days.

In other words, each day has a theme, and sessions are tailored specifically to one of those days!

So, for example, these three sessions do a nice job of illustrating how the sessions work together to tell a story over the course of the conference.

Tom Abernathy's talk on character development is a Day One topic. ''The Future Is Now: A look at how this year's crop of games is breaking the storytelling mold in games''

Patrick Redding's game-writing challenge is a Day Two topic

And finally, Adrian Hon's talk is a Day Three topic. ''The Future Is Yours: A no-holds-barred look at what's possible in the world of interactive storytelling''
