The Future of Game Narrative

In terms of dynamic story telling Facade is a game that has come up pretty often in conversations and classes in the last few weeks, but that came out 6 years ago! However one of the creators Michael Mateas has just released a trailer of a spiritual successor they're developing at UCSC in Prom Week.

Here's the trailer: https://games.soe.ucsc.edu/project/prom-week

It's essentially a more family friendly social take on facade with a bigger cast and where your actions have wider ramifications in the long term.

Some interesting talk on the subject with Michael here: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/34140/Future_Of_Games_Driving_Gameplay_Innovation_With_Technology_Research.php
