Design Strategies for Interactive Digital Narratives

Published:17 June 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

Creating interactive digital narrative (IDN) experiences means to overcome a tradition dominated by conventions for non-interactive, static and pre-fixed narrative. Instead of "interactivizing" legacy structures, a more productive avenue is in the focus on specific design strategies for IDN. These approaches do afford a a different view towards the resulting manifestations both form and context, but also include a perspective on the changed role of the author.
