Creating the Interactive Digital Narrative: An All-at-Once Guide to Collaborative Planning, Production, and Beyond

A practical, step-by-step guide to creating digital interactive projects, this book will help you and a creative team realise, plan and produce the most imaginative ideas and living stories. Written in an accessible style with dashes of humour and drawing on deep knowledge of its subject matter, Brad Gyori offers this invaluable aid for creators wanting to approach storytelling in an exciting new way. Designed around collaborative organisation but with ideas for those working on solo projects, Creating the Interactive Digital Narrative is for those lacking expensive equipment and an advanced knowledge of production techniques. Looking at digital journalism, interactive fiction, and locative storytelling, as well as how to use mediums such as film, text, audio, still images, polling, gaming and quizzes, this book also considers how creators might use virtual, augmented and mixed reality for totally immersive user experiences. Featuring model production schedules, definitions of key terms, guidance on assigning tasks and calling upon case studies, anecdotes and ‘pro-tips’ in-book and online, this book contains everything a creative team needs to make a digital interactive story come to life.
