Lab 3w - An Alternative For Writers

The Computer Game Design Project - Part 1, Spring 2005

Objective: Write an essay on adapting well-known stories into games.

Choose a well known fairy tale, folk tale, fable, legend, or myth. Describe how you would adapt, augment, and modify that story to be suitable for an adventure game, and then again for an action game. For each genre, outline the challenges of modifying your selected story for the game, and describe how you would meet those challenges. Justify how your story modifications are suitable for each of the two genres. In each case, be sure to describe the general gameplay, and the role of the story in gameplay.

Your essay should be between 500 to 1000 words. Submit it to CMS as either a Word Document or Text File.
