In the collaborative game project Loominary, the focus is on bridging the gap between computational and craft storytelling. Crafts have a rich history of both overt and subversive storytelling and bringing that depth to computational experiences creates unique methodologies and experiences for new audiences.

Loominary is part of a research agenda with projects that focus on creating frameworks to support new storytelling experiences from underrepresented perspectives. Narrative-based games have the capacity to support a broad range of story experiences, but there are large groups of voices that are currently underrepresented. Two of the games follow the Greek myths of Medusa and Oedipus and the third is a short child-friendly story about a day spent with Posy the Unicorn.Īs storytelling is the basis of human communication, everyone’s a storyteller at heart.
