IGDA - Game Writers' SIG - Foundations of Interactive Storytelling Interactive characters are still at a simplistic stage, but affinity systems promise interesting dialogue design possibilities in the near future, and field-based approaches (or other procedural algorithms) may in themselves present new ways of structuring game stories.

Interactive stories are likely to reuse locations, and the artists and programmers must know everything that a location will be used for if they are to do their jobs to the best of their abilities. www.igda.org /writing/InteractiveStorytelling.htm   (7204 words)
