In this episode of The Corner of Story and Game, we sit down with Winter Mullenix and Tormod MacLean to explore what it really means to tell stories in open-world, player-driven spaces. Together, we dig into the challenges and opportunities of crafting narrative in sandbox MMOs, where story doesn't come from scripted quests alone, but from the players themselves.Winter and Tormod share insights from their work on large-scale projects, unpacking how narrative design can survive (and even thrive) in worlds defined by freedom.Whether you're building your first open-world game or looking for ways to weave narrative meaning into systems-driven experiences, this episode will help you think differently about what “story” really means in a sandbox MMO.Where to find Winter & Tormod:LinkedIn (Winter): https://www.linkedin.com/in/wintermullenix/LinkedIn (Tormod): https://www.linkedin.com/in/tormod-maclean-6b230012/EVE Online: https://www.eveonline.com/The Corner of Story and Game:DiscordFacebookInstagramBlueskyLinkedInEmail: gerald@storyandgame.com#NarrativeDesign #GameWriting #MMORPG #SandboxGames #OpenWorldDesign #EmergentStorytelling #GameDevelopment #StoryInGames #PlayerAgency #InteractiveNarrative #GameDesign #StorytellingInGames #TheCornerOfStoryAndGame #IndieDev #SystemsDesign #WritingForGames #BuildingWorlds #GameNarrative #NarrativeCraft #WorldBuilding

Daniel is joined this month by Evan, an old pal from college and a recent father who has found his time for gaming evaporate, but he's still able to find some time to participate in the genre defining MMO World of Warcraft, which he's been playing consistently since launch, now in it's 21st year. They discuss what it's like for Evan to be married to a popular Twitch streamer. Evan gets into the game's longevity and what keeps people coming back for so long, but it's also revealed to maybe not be a great thing for people to try jumping into at this point in the game's history if they're not familiar with MMOs. In the backlog section, they recap King's Quest (2015) and Evan challenges Daniel to play the arcade-y Sega classic Shinobi 3. They also have a bit of a general chat about old games and remakes/sequels meant for people in their 40s.0:00:00 - Old Dads0:02:51 - Welcome to the Show, Evan!0:16:31 - What Are You Playing?

¿Alguna vez has sentido que las comunidades de los MMOs más grandes están llenas de toxicidad? ¿Cansado de la competición constante por ver quién es mejor o qué juego tiene más jugadores? En el vídeo de hoy nos sumergimos en un tema fascinante: por qué las comunidades de los MMORPGs más pequeños o "humildes" parecen ser mucho más sanas y felices. En esta charla analizamos las posibles razones detrás de este fenómeno. ¿Es por el ritmo de juego más pausado? ¿Acaso los gráficos actúan como un filtro para cierto tipo de jugadores? ¿O es el poder de una comunidad inicial que se autorregula y acoge a los nuevos miembros como si fuera una familia? Debatimos sobre cómo el sentimiento de pertenencia a algo más especial y el menor volumen de jugadores crean un ambiente donde la ayuda mutua y el buen rollo son la norma, no la excepción.

Along the way, he unpacks what's real (and what's hype) about Web3, and why the next generation of games will be defined by instant access, ethical data, and cross-media convergence.Whether you're building games, investing in the space, or just curious about where it's all heading, this is your front-row seat to the future.James Hursthouse - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshursthouse/Greenstone Initiatives - https://www.greenstone.one/Metaverse Roadmap: Pathways to the 3D Web - https://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Annotations/wiki/images/1/19/MetaverseRoadmapOverview.pdfIron Maiden Legacy of the Beast: https://ironmaidenlegacy.com/

In this episode of the Gaming Round Table, we delve deep into the world of Final Fantasy with a special focus on Final Fantasy XIV. Join us as we welcome back guests Cole, Moogan, and Scrag, who bring their unique insights into the current state of the game. We tackle the controversies and frustrations surrounding the Final Fantasy XIV community, questioning whether these represent standard cycles or signal larger issues for the game's future. The conversation also expands to Square Enix's recent announcements about exploring turn-based JRPGs, hinting at a return to their roots. Our guests share their opinions on whether Final Fantasy should bifurcate into separate action and turn-based branches to satisfy diverse player expectations. We also explore the realm of job identity and new features for the anticipated 8.0 expansion. With an unlimited budget as a playful hypothetical, ideas range from revitalizing the sub-job system to creating more complex roles within the game. Our discussion wouldn't be complete without addressing the role of Yoshi P, whose influence on the franchise has been monumental, yet whose workload appears overwhelming. We ask if it's time for him to focus on new projects or even a brand-new Final Fantasy MMO. Tune in to hear these perspectives and more, and stay plugged into the developments that could shape the future of this beloved gaming series!
