Mom doesn't understand how a man feels. But we feel like revisiting the world map concept, observing the global hum, cranking off, reading the signs of an obvious dungeon, getting high off of explosions, dumpster diving, loading a bar with fuckheads, assigning virtue to Purple Hunchman, understanding King to be a farce, chatting up Pink Bug, extracting the fish detector, engaging in work-related familial conflict, thinking of expensive books, and spawning an Allen ghost head.

This week the guys are diving into the topic of Ludonarrative Dissonance - What is it? Still a new term in storytelling, the guys take a crack at where and how it is currently defined in the shifting landscape.Ep 25https://instagram.com/the_study_podcast?utm_source=qr

In this episode the guys chat about ludonarrative dissonance, the tendency of games to have gameplay and mechanics that fail to match up with the story attached to them. Glenn suggests that in the case of tabletop games it has far more to do with a break between the "front end" experience of the players and the "back end" systems of running the game. Glenn and Mike are the developer and designer respectively of games such as Gaslands, Gaslands: Refuelled and A Billion Suns and here they talk about how, why and sometimes if to design tabletop miniatures games with discussions, tips, reviews and interviews.

Ludo-narrative dissonance occurs when a game's story appears to be at odds with the gameplay. When The Witcher has to urgently save Ciri, but must first explore every village and cave, master a trading card game, and visit all the brothels in the realm. But can ludo-narrative dissonance also have creative merit? We discuss precisely this question, based on the article “Game of Twisted Shouting: Ludo-Narrative Dissonance Revisited” by Paweł Grabarczyk and Bo Kampmann Walther.ShownotesGrabarczyk, Paweł, and Bo Kampmann Walther. “Game of Twisted Shouting: Ludo-Narrative Dissonance Revisited.”Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game Culture, vol. 13, no. 1, Dec. 2022, pp. 7–27.Ludonarrative Dissonance in Bioshock (Clint Hocking)Visit studyingpixels.com Hosted on Acast.

Story or gameplay... WHO WINS? This week, the Triple Click gang dives into an age-old debate and discusses the tension between action and narrative in video games.

In this episode, we talk about Ludonarrative Dissonance in video games. Jon researches lute-onarrative dissonance instead of ludonarrative, then buys the instrument and records a cover of the 1982 classic, "The Safety Dance." Sarah is told to hurry up over and over because her life depends on it, but instead, she loots all the chests and then pisses off to do a cooking quest for seventeen days. Molly tries to jump over a very tiny wall several times but is impossibly unable to clear it, so she finally uses the gate to get to the studio. And Dean goes bald. 1:45: The Origin of the Term Dean: You kill little sisters in Bioshock to get more ADAM, and we're told this is a bad thing. Sarah: Yes Dean, killing little girls is bad. Dean: Yes but we have since learned that killing little girls is totally fine. 11:31: General Thoughts Jon: Ludonarrative dissonance is really about emotions in games. Molly: I have lots of emotions when playing games. Sarah: I have lots of emotions in general. 15:10: Is Ludonarrative Dissonance a Bad Thing, Really? Jon: The coolest thing a game can provide is ludonarrative dissonance. Molly: Yes, the coolest thing is the overwhelming feeling of despair that I get. 19:33: On Ludonarrative Consonance. Jon: In Skyrim, you might be looting a house and the guards show up. . . Molly (in her "guard voice"): Halt! You have committed crimes against Skyrim and her peoples. 21:47: Agency and Dissonance Jon: I go through visual novels triggering events just to get achievements. What about that? Sarah: Then you're creating your own dissonance. Jon: Are you saying I'm my own worst enemy? 28:58: Final Thoughts "My alignment is chaotic Jontral."                    --Dean

Welcome to the 46th episode of the First-Person Podcast. This month we aren’t going to be talking about the Ludonarrative Dissonance but focusing on the Player-Narrative Dissonance.

Tyler goes on a rant about dissonance. Starting with ludonarrative dissonance in video game stories to cognitive dissonance in theory and how there is no such thing as a gray area between good and evil, simply people desperately trying to defend their actions with overcomplicating narratives out of fear of being judged. What an asshole. Follow us on IG @totalpowermovepodcast and don't forget to subscribe/follow on your preferred listening service!

In this episode, I discuss strategies to circumvent ludonarrative dissonance by making compromises in each of the dissonant parts. I also talk about some future games I would like to run, once the current crisis is over.

It's time for a bonus round. In our first Bonus Episode, Andrew & Alex have a candid conversation about their tastes in video games, kicking things off with a special announcement + a sneak-peek at future topics.

The BioShock marathon is nearing its conclusion! The final full stop on our tour through the franchise is at BioShock Infinite - a game that dang well near blew our minds in 2013, and just might have done it again here in 2019. Check your Ludonarrative Dissonance at the door, False Shepherds, we don't need it where we're going. Plus, Zach discusses his love for Crackdown 3, no matter what anyone else says, and we talk about our favorite parts about last week's Nintendo Direct (read: you bet your bottom dollar we will be doing a lot of episodes on games from this direct.)Your Good Great Gang is Zach Rich, Andrew Orsie, and Kevin Ruiter.

This is a panel from Gen Con 2017. Travis talks about Ludonarrative Dissonance (Fludonarrative discobiscuits if you're hungry). If you've been in the video game blog-o-sphere at some point, you have heard of LND (I'm not typing out the entire word you can't make me). But is it necessarily the pejorative term as its become in video game circles. Listen to this panel from Gen Con that gives the answer: NO. Most of all if anything LND is a feature most Tabletop GMs and Players are intimately familiar with, but haven't realized there was a term for. As such, listen in, learn a thing (maybe), and speak up if you have questions. Welcome to Herding Cats: Ludonarrative Dissonance and Players.

This episode of Easy Bytes discusses the term 'ludonarrative dissonance' and what it means for video games.

On the fifth episode of Neo Kobe Pizza, we talk about Ludonarrative Dissonance, and whether it's something that developers are largely failing at or making great strides to improve. We also touch on discussions surrounding known "offenders" in the genre, including Bioshock and most Ubisoft and Naughty Dog games, as well as those who succeed at the attempt, including Undertale and Spec Ops: The Line. Hosted by Mark B Writing, featuring Matt Yaeger. (Originally recorded 08/05/16)

Matthew (writer, composer, and game developer on titles including the Call of Duty and Halo series, Destiny, The Infinifactory, The Arboretum, The Writer Will Do Something, and TIS-100) and Carrie (narrative designer on Pillars of Eternity, writer of The Buried Life and Cities and Thrones) join us this week to talk about maintaining your writing momentum, outlining, the writing process at Obsidian, Large Teams and the Problems they Cause, creating a Total Work of Art in video games, offering decisions that lead to chokepoints, motivating players with different play styles, the negative space that defines players’ experiences, how The Writer Will Do Something came about, that part of the meeting when everybody turns to look at you, when gameplay doesn't trump story, the linearity of relationship portrayals in games today, and should creators ever be involved in the post-release discussion.

In the quest to design a game based on the Bible, you can alienate both non-Christians and Christians. Is there an example of a biblicaly themed game that meshes them and mechanics perfectly, avoiding the dreaded “Ludonarrative Dissonance”?  We think so.  And that game is the board/video game Kings of Israel. … Continue reading
