The Art of Point and Click Adventure Games by Jesse Schell
The Art of Point and Click Adventure Games by Jess Schell is an excellent guide to the design of interactive storytelling. The author argues that the key to creating an enjoyable game is to know your players intimately. In the next chapter, he explores this concept in detail.
Schell’s approach is to break the game down into its constituent elements, or “Elemental Tetrad,” and shows how each element influences the overall game. For example, he examines the classic arcade game Space Invaders. Specifically, he shows how aesthetics makes the game more intense and technological elements set the parameters.
