Description

Sure you can write, but can you make a little say a lot? This lecture exposes special considerations of writing for handheld systems like the Nintendo DS, points out various potential pitfalls, and explores the many ways to write outside the box while staying inside the budget. Specific topics covered will include handheld play context, play session length, hardware limitations, scheduling and budgeting considerations, and best practices to apply to handheld game writing based on all of the above. Stripped of the benefits of a fully captive audience or hours of voiceover and full-motion video, you can nevertheless win your battle to integrate effective, entertaining narrative content into a handheld game.
