Narratology Practice

I used the provided Christmas tree template for mapping my branches and my, it was much harder to work through the story than I thought. I kept getting confused on what each part of the tree meant, and all jumbled up to be honest! It was hard, and I hope I completed it correctly. I feel like I am working in the right direction, just hoping the mapping shows my thought process correctly. Since I am trying to teach 8 stages, I spent a lot of time at the top of the tree creating different events, before I got to progress to the third tier where the climax of the story starts and ends with their choice. From there, the story works downhill to a conclusion of the story. Use the link below to see the full map (easier to follow in slides).

Game Storming and Story Building

At the start of the game storming, writing down the problem I wanted to focus on and answering the questions seemed to be the easiest part of the process. I had a general idea of what I wanted to focus on, then when I moved onto mapping it out using Freytag's Pyramid I felt comfortable with my completion (see my completed Freytag's Pyramid below).    Mapping out the main plot points was helpful as well as I continued to work through my game storming.  Steps 2 and 3 seemed to be the most difficult to me, trying to connect all the dots and add alternatives to the characters. This is still a work in progress as I work through the options in my head and what would work best for the game, creating an internal drive for the players to win.
