My name is Michael McIntyre (Dr. W.J. Michael McIntyre, if you want to be precise). I'll be your instructor in this course, and as we'll be spending a lot of time together over the several weeks, I thought it'd be nice if we got to know each other. I have been long involved in language education, writing & writing education. ...
The instructor made me feel welcomed.
Thanks for the very inspiring course, Professor. It was very enlightening to learn about the necessary guide posts in creating traditional and interactive fiction. This really helps me optimizing the creative work flow developing ideas instead of staring on white paper or computer screens for hours. Highly recommended for any friend of the creative arts.
So far this is going well.
Hero's journey? Call to action? Never heard of them! If you're a complete newbie to this kind of thing like I am, I'd recommend the course. I found it very interesting and informative and there is a lot in here that I will be using going forward. Thank you!
It was decent. There was good information regarding different story arcs and how to bring decisions into stories for video games. I can see how this would work for tabletop roleplaying games and other interactive media as well.
The journal exercises were nice to do. The resources available in the course were informative.
Minor background sound issues in the audio of some of the videos that were a bit annoying at times. The presenter did a good job presenting the information.
Very informative.
I got my dream job as a game writer because of him and this course
The content was great, but the audio quality was, especially in the first videos, pretty bad. The presentation slides could have also been better looking.
Content wise i would give 4.5 to 5 stars, as for technical quality maybe 3.
The course is helping me analyse a story where I wouldn't have before. I'm only onto the first activity but I am already hooked into completing this course.
I must analyse The Last of Us through the in game cutscenes and this isn't a game I've played ever so I am excited to do so.
