Elizabeth Maler is a Games User Research specialist and video game author. She worked in Montreal in Canada as a producer and a Games User Researcher on indie games before becoming head of a playtesting lab in France. Over the years, she has helped dozens of indies all along their development cycle take user feedback into account and launch successful games. After creating the company Accidental Queens and releasing the two award-winning games “A Normal Lost Phone” and its spiritual successor “Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story”, she left to create a new company, Abiding Bridge. She delivers presentations worldwide about the design of social impact games and shares her knowledge about user testing while highlighting the most common mistakes indie developers make while playtesting. She has been involved in several organizations advocating for minorities representation and women empowerment in and out of the video game industry.
GAME WRITING
The creation of novel storytelling strategies for digital games is one of the key issues in game development. Narrative games build bridges between dramatic writing for theatre and film, television, and game design, and opens new avenues for new types of writing for digital media. GAME WRITING is a hands-on study of the many ways text and writing can figure into videogame design — branching dialog, narrative design, hypertext fiction, and text as digital material. The course combines technical tutorial with writer’s workshop. Students will learn how to use Twine and will create their own game by the end of the course.
