<aside> ⚠️ Some writing or narrative design experience is required for this course. This is an advanced in-depth workshop all about experimental Narrative Design. This isn’t a beginner course.
</aside>
<aside> 📢 This advanced course will focus on experimental, weird, absurd, and stand-alone narrative design. This course doesn’t care about current game design traditions. This course is about the stuff that I like. This course is going to be wild.
</aside>
<aside> ❗ You’ll put it to practice immediately to make text games (Interactive fiction if you will) using Inkle’s Ink engine. The assignments will mimic my Narrative Crash Course structure: three experimental games plus a week to polish your favorite one.
