The 2007 Developing Interactive Narrative Content Seminar run by sagasnet is currently in play.
During this Developing Interactive Narrative Content Seminar pre-selected interactive narrative projects in development (no limitation on media,genre or target audience) will be provided in parallel with high-profile face-to-face consulting sessions (on financing,project management,marketing,story structure,game play…). Consultants will be chosen according to the needs of the selected projects.
The experts they have providing advice are:
| Frank Boyd | Greg Childs | Christophe Erbes | Chris Hales | Sibylle Kurz | Raimo Lang | Peter Olaf Looms | Mark Stephen Meados | Mark Ollila | Michel Rüger | Richard Rouse III | Nathan Shedroff | Lee Sheldon | Inga von Staden | Teut Weidemann | Ingo Wolf |
