Making the Most of Mythic Structure - Matthew Grau - GamesU 2009

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFhyDsxlZus"]Matthew Grau[/ame]

In this session from GamesU 2009, accomplished game designer and screenwriter Matthew Grau discusses the monomyth and how to use it to create epic and enduring stories in your games. Popularized by Joseph Campbell in his book "Hero with a Thousand Faces", the monomyth is a powerful tool for story structure. It is taught to aspiring screenwriters and used in mainstream movies today though it is most notably the backbone of the epic Star Wars saga.

Have a great weekend!
