In the sound file below I compare a YA fantasy novel, Sabriel, to the adventure/puzzle games I grew up playing, explaining why similarities across the two formats' storytelling conventions would make this novel a fantastic game. I also touch on other stories that have played out across various media formats, like The Matrix and Joss Whedon's Firefly.

This was helpful to me to see some of the possible connections between video games and storytelling. Thanks, EmilyZ
I'm glad it was helpful... sometimes I wonder how much of a self-indulgence this class is, since it covers so many things I do for fun, but that's generally my approach to education. My undergrad lit & art majors were fun too, but hopefull it all builds towards something useful.
