Louise dives into the artistic process of Christy Dena, a writer-designer-director of award winning interactive projects and events (with a PhD in Transmedia Practice) and learns how appreciating the process of Transmedia Storytelling led Christy to understanding more about herself. After spending so much time exploring what other people think, Christy would choose to step into her own future mind to explore the magical moment that would come from witnessing how her future mind thinks. You can listen to Christy's Worldbuilding lecture here, her TedxTalk on the poetics of Transmedia here, her lecture on Rituals of Online Artistic Processes here and follow her Twitter here.

Christy Dena is a writer, designer and director at Universe Creation 101. She joined us to talk about “Crafting Intangibles”, a free online interactive writing event which you can watch online now. Featuring talks from Narrative Designers and games writers from all over the world, Crafting Intangibles brings them together to share knowledge about how to write better for games and interactive experiences. Christy also shared with us what it takes to unite gameplay mechanics and storytelling in perfect harmony. We also talked remakes and remasters. With so many titles coming back from the dead with a shiny new coat of paint such as Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, the rerelease train does not look to be stopping any time soon. Are the massive profits that these games rake in taking away the incentive for publishers to take a chance on new IPs?

This AWG Event was recorded live at 107 Projects in Redfern, Sydney on 1st May 2017.

Moderated by Teresa Crea, Christy Dena, Leena van Deventer, Anna Irwin-Schutze, Krister Collin and Nicole Stark talk about their experiences in writing for interactive media.
This episode, we are speaking with Christy Dena, Writer-Designer-Director at Universe Creation 101, Co-Founder and Co-Director at Forward Slash Story, and Chair and Department Coordinator of Games at SAE Creative Media Institute. Note: Some missing context when the conversation turns to "Open Backyard"; the player is an insect.
