Creative Narrative Workshop 2024

An interdisciplinary gathering of researchers and practitioners to explore the intersection of narrative research, creative toolmaking, and game narrative, with a focus on text.

This workshop was held on December 7, 2024 in Copenhagen, in person only, thanks to the Pioneer Centre for AI @ University of Copenhagen. Some presenters did not provide public slides given the in-progress nature of their presentations.
