Session Name:

Game Narrative Summit: Story: An Atomic Theory

Overview:

Story. What, in fact, IS it? It's hard to think of anything more intrinsic to human culture that is as difficult to define as a story. This talk will offer a solid definition of story that, when explored in detail, proves to be a sort of "atomic theory" of story, breaking it down into the fundamental particles of narrative and the interacting forces between them. Jeremy Bernstein, Principal Writer at Volition, will also explore the implications these particles and forces have in game design, leading to a Grand Unified Theory of Story.
