ANIMATED INTERACTIVE NARRATIVES

Abstract

Animated interactive narratives are video games and other media story-telling endeavors. When participants take place in and therefore help to shape animated interactive narratives, a type of storytelling seen no where else occurs. This form of storytelling is nothing new at its core, for it is comparable to the features of ‘play’ and ‘games’, which have always existed. People yearn to tell stories and be told stories. Animated interactive narratives facilitate this desire, by vast numbers, in today’s day and age. Technology and design concepts will continue to improve with time, and animated interactive narratives will become more accessible to all types of participant-storytellers.
