ATL Skills I've addressed in this entry:
Communication Social Self-management Research Thinking
After my meeting with Anna, I got a few suggestions for websites, articles and books that I could use for my research. One of the books was a childrens book on how to write stories, which wasn't of great help to me, as everything in it was basic knowledge I already had. I also got an article on why video game stories suck, which was of some help to me, as it tells me what not to do when writing my story. I also did some research by playing some story driven games, such as The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game and The Last of Us. There is no certain reason I picked those games, except for them both having great stories. I also went ahead and sent out a survey to my class to see what they had to say about the stories in games. I got some interesting results and I think this will be great information for my game.
Explanation of ATL Skills I've addressed in this entry:
Social: I've talked to Anna, who gave me great research tips and tricks that I used for my research. I also sent out a survey to the class to see what they had to say about video game stories.
Research: As I've read a lot of texts explaining video game stories or stories in general, I've started to build up some information I will use to improve my story.
