Synopsis
This practice-based research project investigates the relationship between storytelling and game play. It explores the history and evolution of game narratives and identifies what we can learn and adapt from traditional narrative techniques used in other storytelling mediums.
Theory and techniques are explored in practice through the process of designing a short game experience that plays on the interactive nature of games in telling its story. It aims to be narratively immersive and emotionally engaging.
Interactive narrative and storytelling in games
This project explores how narrative theory and traditional storytelling techniques are applied in gameplay design to improve the way in which games tell stories.
Motivation
There was a university project last year where my work did not meet my expectations. I wanted to try and do more work to improve my skills at designign meaningful gameplay.
