The International Game Developers Association‘s Game Writing Special Interest Group just released a book with A k Peters, called Writing for Video Game Genres: From RPG to RTS . I was fortunate to have contributed the chapter called Writing for Real-Time Strategy Games.
The pages are graced by many popular game writers, including Haris
Orkin, Richard Dansky, Tracy Seamester, Lee Sheldon, Andy Walsh, Sand
Chen, Evan Skolnick, and that’s just the start! The book can be orderd online, and should be on retail shelves soon. This is the third book released by the WSIG
and could be a helpful a part of any game students or aspiring game
writers collection. It can also serve as a good resource for those of
us in the field.
