Abstract

The field of Interactive Digital Narration (IDN) is inherently interdisciplinary—since its inception, it has struggled to unite artistic and technical expertise. In this chapter, therefore, we reflect on the extent to which the interdisciplinarity at play in IDN is specific to the field and the implications this has for authoring research. To this end, we consider several issues related to the collaboration of tool engineers with storytellers and designers on a team. We group these challenges into four main categories and suggest recommendations to address them: dealing with change, sharing a vision, dealing with a range of data representations, and fighting opacity.
