Narrative Review: Thief2012 Gold Prize Winner, GDC Game Narrative Review Competition
|
(From the GDC Website)
"Every year, leading game design programs at universities across the country integrate the GDC's Game Narrative Review competition into their academic curricula. Each participating student conducts a detailed structured analysis of the narrative elements of a game title of their choice. The resulting papers are submitted to the GDC writing board for review, and the submitters with the most promising entries are then invited to create a poster as a visual synopsis of their review. Successful poster submissions are declared winners and exhibited at the GDC. " |

I entered this contest and got to exhibit my review of Thief: The Dark Project at GDC Austin 2012.
Narratives are a tricky thing in games, and it's especially encouraging when you see those in the industry making strides toward games as storytelling. Thief was just one in a long list.
