Avis et commentaires pour l'étudiant pour Story and Narrative Development for Video Games par California Institute of the Arts

I really enjoyed this course, The only thing I would have liked to have learned more about was how to do Game Design Documents and how they are made. I would have liked to have seen more examples as well as how to do these examples as well.

Thank you, I learned a lot.

This course gives actionable ideas about design characters and story lines.

Fun, interesting, good pacing and case studies. Instructor was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and presented material well.

I enjoyed a lot this course, showed quite well technics and tips to write

The course was good!

I learned good stuff. i gave four star because there could be more content some parts were written instead of a lecture. But i will recommend this course.

At the end of the course I'm happy with it. I learnt about structure of stories and how they can be implemented in games, how to help people connect emotionally with a story and characters. I think the beginning was a little weak. I didn't like any of the example stories and I know there are a lot of great stories out there.

The contents were comprehensive, and the assignments helped reinforce the theory. By using pre-existing references to other works, they were tighter, which I think is useful to focus on the objectives set for a particular week. Some additional creative freedom would also have been interesting.

Really nice way to know hot to present a Story!

I liked the course. To improve, could become more dynamic , but the teacher is to be congratulated .

Enjoyable content and presentation but the coarse seemed very short compared to others I've taken. Not a criticism but rather and observation. If it was short on purpose that is one thing but I believe there is more to be said on this topic fundamentally and hope to see this course expanded or a second one produced.

I would like to that those involved int its creation.

It was a great course and I`ve learned a lot with him!

I recommend for all student who want to get start on game design area.

Makes you think. Interesting for any developer or anyone intested in narratives as a whole. Really nice exercises and lists too!

Course materials are a little bit obvious, but I really like the original version of The Shooter and Jane's personality

Great course for expanding your writing skills in relation to storytelling in games.

A nice course, but there is lack of teachers participation.

Great course!

A very good course to a beginner with no education in script-writing. A good relation to game industry. Interesting methods of organizing your work. Good cooperation with classmates

I feel that the course was great but I felt confused on the last assignment, we covered a lot of things during the last week but then I was unsure if I should've applied that on our assignment... Also I'm not sure if it is possible but if we could have a chance to ask the teacher questions would be great. I know that there is a lot of people going this courses and maybe it is not possible but still there are things that I feel only the teacher could answer. Overall the course was good :)

quite enjoyable :)

The course is fun, but as the previous part of the specialization a bit simple for what it charges for the certificate.

I love the material on this course, it really helps to improve. However, the peer evaluation system is the worse option for this course, only one person evaluates your work, and sometimes you must ask for help for the evaluation because no one will do it for default as its supposed to happen. Coursera needs to find a solution for this.

I really enjoyed this course and the instructors materials, I just wish we were given the chance to work on our own games in the assignments.

This really makes you work hard. Lots of writings. Definitely a good way to practice how to create a Game document.

This course was a little bit a shock for me. It had no continuity with the previous one, which was kinda a pity. Also, I had a hard time with the last two homework of week 3 and week 4, since a ''story'' is imposed to you, and you have to re-write within that...I would have preferred that we did the same exercise with the kid story chosen in the first two lessons(week 1 and 2). I wouldn't recommend it if you have already experience with writing because it was very discouraging for me, I almost wanted to skip the course, but I want that specialization so I had to complete it. But if you don't have experience in writing at all, maybe it could help you because the teacher explains to you his method to help you find your ideas for building your narrative, and also for describing your characters and their motives etc.
