Katarina Gyllenback's Blog
I’m a narrative game designer with previous experience in script- and screenwriting, TV and filmmaking direction. Having also studied computer science, I now specialize in narrative construction from a cognitive perspective. On Gamasutra, I share the posts from my site Narrative construction, exploring how to use knowledge of how our mind processes information and how to apply the knowledge to the design of meaningful and engaging game experiences.
If you are interested, have questions and thoughts about narrative construction, please feel free to contact me via Narrative construction, LinkedIn or Twitter @gyllenback.
