The Hero's Journey (Unfinished)
The Hero's Journey
The Hero's journey is actually a writing process I've been looking into in my own time as I like to write/edit fiction as a hobby. The topic came up however when I was reading the journal "Interactive Storytelling for Video Games - Josiah Lebowitz, Chris Klug." as one of the ways used to write/create an interactive story.
I wanted to look into this to see if these narrative...

Whilst my project is based on whether upcoming technologies could influence art,...
