Chris Crawford On Interactive Storytelling - Plot & Excerpts
What lies at the conjunction of interactivity and stories?” The plethora of terms used in discussing interactive storytelling indicates the confusion that surrounds the subject. Over the years, people have used “interactive story,” “interactive storytelling,” “interactive drama,” “interactive narrative,” “interactive fiction,” and “interactive movies” to describe this field. I use “interactive storytelling” because it seems to be the most commonly used term. Extrapolation from Games When people are at a loss to understand a new phenomenon, they fall back on what they already know and describe the mysterious phenomenon in familiar terms. Therefore, the American Indians of the nineteenth century saw the railroad as an “iron horse.” Americans of the mid-twentieth century perceived the computer as a “giant mechanical brain.” In much the same way, people trying to grasp interactive storytelling fall back on games as the closest experience they can imagine.
