Slay the Dragon! is your guide to making your mark as a storyteller in this very complex, growing, and ever-changing art form. Aimed at both traditional writers who want to learn interactive narrative, and game creators who want to tell better, more emotionally involving stories, Slay the Dragon! is written by two creative veterans of both Hollywood and "Nerdyhood." Their unique perspective on the importance of balancing story with gameplay will help you make sense of the confusion in today's environment...where movies are looking more like games, and games are acting more like movies.
