New story codex – Disney Imagineer, XR, Savannah College of Art and Design

The Story Codex is a narrative tool that redefines how stories are built.

Designed to be equally useful for linear, branching, and open-world experiences, this new framework also empowers collaborators across disciplines — both writers and non-writers alike — to shape the narrative design of an experience.

Key takeaways:

  • Immersive stories are not films or television shows. So why are immersive writers still using film and television tools — like treatments or bibles — to create and document their work? Whether attendees go on to use the Story Codex or not, this presentation will open their eyes to the urgent need for new narrative tools that are designed specifically for immersive storytelling.
  • The presentation will shift the definition of “story” from a linear plot and cast of characters to, simply, a collection of rules. This will fundamentally change the way attendees think about narrative.
  • The Story Codex is the first narrative tool that develops stories as rule sets — and attendees will quickly learn how to adapt this method for their own projects.
