Head Games: The Power of Traditional Storytelling in New Platforms
Even without the graphics processing and compelling game play, stories are immersive ephemeral environments that people naturally sink into. While crafting a story may include creating great words and images, more than that it means establishing a relationship with the audience such that the audience can establish a relationship with the story.

This presentation will discuss how storytellers and game designers can leverage traditional storytelling tools for new forms of stories.
