As role-playing games (RPGs) become more popular, new audiences are constantly finding this exciting source of storytelling and entertainment. While there are large teams of professionals that develop these games, many start out creating RPGs on their own, often taking years to learn all the needed skills.
In this Adventurers workshop, students will learn the importance of worldbuilding in games, from creating regions and characters to writing fun and interesting quests and storylines. Instructors will show students how to build engaging spaces in their worlds so players can immerse themselves in the game’s setting. Students interested in developing their narrative and design skills can eventually find themselves in an exciting career in games, TV, film, and more!
By the end of the week, each Adventurer will be able to design, write, and create their own interesting worlds, questlines, and engaging stories
Projects in this workshop may include: Designing and implementing a town or dungeon and creating a questline that teaches the player more about their world.
[My son] rarely talks about what he does in a camp. So when he volunteered information at the end of each day I knew he was loving the camp. The small group allowed him to get to know some of his camp peers and his instructors really well. On the last day of camp, before I even asked his thoughts, he asked ‘do I have any more camps with DigiPen this summer?’ Then he immediately went on to say he wanted to sign up for a bunch of them next summer because he learned so much.
