This is an introduction: the world of narrative is unlimited, and the videogames sector is constantly changing and expanding.

And also remember that many times, the best advice comes from the person next to you: your classmates, who undoubtedly share your interest and enthusiasm. ”

I started by sharing some of my most meaningful influences that defined the beginning of my career. We discovered a definition of what narrative design is, and we reviewed all the different roles, tasks, and the different deliverables that we'll have to work with as game designers. We saw some narrative models, focusing on the Hero's Journey, and we saw what kinds of stories we usually tell in video games, taking into account that interactivity is what defines them. Then I told you a l...”
