Product Description

Product Description
The authors of this title are top game designers and focus on creating games that are an involving, emotional experience for the gamer. Topics include integrating story into the game, writing the game script, putting together the game bible, creating the design document and working on original intellectual property versus working with licenses. Finally, there's complete information on how to present a visionary new idea to developers and publishers. This goes way beyond the basics.

Flint Dille's credits include Dead to Rights and Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu. John Zuur Platten's credits include Red Ninja and Scooby-Doo 2005. The authors live in Los Angeles.

4.0 out of 5 stars A practical guide to game writing, 2 Mar 2009
By Eric Miffre "Spiffre" (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Experienced Writers and Game Designers, the authors make a great case of what writing is and what it can bring to the gaming business. They warn the reader about the specific rules and imperatives of the medium - and there are more than one.

The book doesn't feel like a theory-only guide for a second, and provides useful tips and action items designed to put the reader into the writer's mindset.

A great read for both Writer and Game Designer apprentices.
