Call to Adventure

Throughout the course of my college career, I have continuously been faced with divergent paths. Will I study Education? English? Within English do I want to focus on Creative Writing? Literary Criticism? Well, maybe a little of all of the above. I do not know much about game-writing, programming, coding, or even analysis. I do know, however, that the game industry is one of the most profitable, extensive creative field in the world right now. Regardless of my path, an understanding of the way games are made and enjoyed will benefit me. Throughout this class, I hope to put my critical analysis skills to the test against interactive experiences as well as apply my own creative prowess to games of my own creation. The additional element of player input will force me to contemplate plot choices and character development in a new way, and hopefully inspire me in all areas of writing and criticism.
