It's been an embarrassingly long time but we are BACK! Again!!! And this time we've brought returning guests Adam Dolin and Jolie Menzel to discuss breaking in, how they define narrative design, the differences between creative directors who come from narrative versus other displiclines, the three c's, can game writers exist without knowing narrative design, favorite narrative tools, what makes a good opening to a game, tutorials, letting players have choices where the results lead to them missing lots of content, bad habits they've noticed in younger writers/narrative designers, the future of the industry, pieces of media they go back to get reinvigorate/inspired, the themes they're always writing into their stories, stuff they're always editing out of their writing, how to write good dialogue, and maybe one or two other things.

Alignment is the cornerstone of a successful company, touching every aspect from the business plan, to the product, to the marketing. A cohesive narrative is what separates the good from the great, and no one understands this better than Chris Hare, founder of The Storied Future. In this episode, Chris joins Matt to unpack the transformative power of storytelling in business. Drawing from his experience with global tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon, Chris shares how his time in the industry inspired him to cut through the noise and focus on the compelling stories that leader may not know how to tell. In this episode, he discusses how he helps CEOs uncover their personal "atomic stories"—narratives that not only center their humanity but also act as a North Star, guiding their companies forward. Chris dives into practical storytelling techniques, how to approach 360 interviews, and how to hunt for the "plot twist" that can make your company's story truly stand out. If you're looking to explore how authentic storytelling can drive both organizational change and personal growth, this episode is one you won't want to miss!

Marcus Klöppel ist Dozent an der Macromedia University of Applied Sciences in Leipzig und unterrichtet dort Studierende in der hohen Kunste, tolle Spiele zu entwickeln. Sein Fachgebiet dabei ist Writing und Narrative Design, also alles, was sich auf erzählerischer Ebene so abspielt. Dieser Schwerpunkt und diese Leidenschaft ist dabei nicht nur auf den Hörsaal begrenzt, sondern führte erst kürzlich zur Gründung der Narranauten - ein Zusammenschluss von EntwicklerInnen, die mit Tagungen, Diskussionsrunden und gegenseitiger Vernetzung das Niveau und die Qualität des Narrative Designs hierzulande noch weiter anheben wollen. Im Gespräch mit Dom Schott erzählt Marcus Klöppel von diesen Tätigkeiten und erlaubt uns einen Blick in seinen Hörsaal, wo er jedes Semester mit einem neuen Schwung junger Menschen zusammenarbeitet, die eine ganz andere Sozialisierung mit Spielen erlebt hat, als er.

Willkommen zur neuen DevPlay-Folge, in der wir die Frage stellen: Was macht ein Videospiel wirklich einzigartig? Innovation wird oft als Schlüssel zum Erfolg gefeiert, aber ist das immer der richtige Weg? Oder wollen Spieler vielleicht doch lieber den „gleichen Käse“ – nur in neuen Geschmacksrichtungen? In dieser Episode tauchen wir tief in die Welt des Spieldesigns ein: Von der Frage, wie man ein innovatives und verkaufbares Spiel entwickelt, bis hin zu den Herausforderungen großer Teams mit hohen Erwartungen. Wir beleuchten den Indie-Sektor, wo Limitierungen oft zur größten Stärke werden, und fragen uns, wie man den perfekten Unique Selling Point findet. Die Themen Wie entwirft man ein innovatives Game, dass verkaufbar ist? Große Teams, hohe Erwartungshaltungen Indie-Games: Mit Limitierung und Grenzen zum Erfolg. Wie findet man seinen Unique Selling Point? Die Go-to-Market Strategie. Mit verrückten Ideen zum Erfolg? Lähmt Risikominimierung kreatives Gameplay? Alle wollen immer dasselbe - nur eben anders. Wie die Community Spieldesign prägt. Die Psychologie des Kaufverhaltens Darüber diskutieren in dieser Folge: Myriel Balzer (Game & Narrative Design, Creative Direction) https://www.jackofalltrades.myrielbalzer.de/ Björn Pankratz (Pithead Studio) Jan Klose (Mitgründer von DECK13) Bewerbt euch bei uns!

Unsere DevPlayer bezeichnen sich häufig als "Creative Director". Doch was verbirgt sich hinter diesem Titel? Ein Creative Director in der Spieleentwicklung ist derjenige, der die kreative Vision eines Spiels formt und zum Leben erweckt. Er ist verantwortlich für das Gesamtkonzept – von der visuellen Gestaltung bis zur emotionalen Wirkung des Spiels auf die Spieler. Dabei lenkt er Teams aus Designern, Programmierern und Künstlern und sorgt dafür, dass alle Elemente harmonisch zusammenfinden, um ein stimmiges und faszinierendes Spielerlebnis zu schaffen. Mit anderen Worten: Der Creative Director verwandelt eine anfängliche Idee in ein fesselndes, interaktives Erlebnis.

Seit den Anfängen der Videospiele gibt es hitzige Debatten über Gewalt in Games. In den 90er Jahren galten blutige Szenen und brutale Kämpfe noch oft als Verkaufsargument, das die Spieler begeisterte und gleichzeitig die Kritik an der Spielebranche anheizte. Doch wie sieht es heute im Jahr 2024 aus? Hat sich etwas verändert? Tatsächlich lässt sich ein Wandel in der Branche beobachten. Viele Entwickler hinterfragen inzwischen den Einsatz von Gewalt und gehen verantwortungsvoller mit dem Thema um. Spieler und Entwickler interessieren sich zunehmend für tiefere, emotionalere Geschichten, in denen Gewalt nicht mehr das zentrale Element ist, sondern bestenfalls ein erzählerisches Mittel. Trotz dieses Wandels bleibt Gewalt in Games aber nach wie vor präsent, insbesondere in Genres wie Shooter oder Action-Adventures. Themen: Entspannt uns gespielt ausgelebte Gewalt? Wie wirken sich Games auf reale Konfliktlösungen aus? Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Comic-Gewalt, Fantasy-Gewalt und realistischer Gewalt? Wie wird Gewalt in Spielen von traumatisierten Menschen erlebt? Was ist von der alten "Killerspiel"-Debatte übrig geblieben? Wie geht man mit gespielter Gewalt in der Erziehung von Kindern um? Was ist der "Magic circle of gameplay" und warum ist er wichtig? Macht-Fantasie oder Gewalt-Fantasie? Was möchten wir in Spielen ausleben?

Jedes Spiel bringt dir etwas bei, sei es eine neue Fertigkeit, eine Strategie oder sogar eine neue Art zu denken. Doch wie erziehen uns Spiele tatsächlich? Viele Spiele enthalten Lerninhalte, die explizit oder implizit vermittelt werden. Diese Inhalte können von einfachen Wissensfakten bis hin zu komplexen Problemlösungsfähigkeiten reichen. Die Frage ist, ob wir uns von Spielen erziehen lassen wollen. Lernen hat an sich keinen moralischen Wert – es ist das, was wir aus dem Gelernten machen, das zählt. In Spielen können wir nützliche Fähigkeiten entwickeln, aber auch negative Verhaltensweisen, wie sie in einigen Glücksspielen vorkommen, erlernen Der natürliche Spieltrieb kann den Lerneffekt erheblich fördern. Spiele, die eine schnelle Dopaminfreisetzung fördern, können die Lernmotivation kurz erhöhen. Doch wie kann man die innere Lernmotivation langfristig fördern? Die Themen: Muss ein Spiel pädagogisch wertvoll sein? Wie uns Spiele erziehen wollen. Was lernen wir in Spielen? Sollte man Unterhaltungs-Spiele mit Lerninhalten versehen? Sollte man Unterhaltungs-Spiele mit Lerninhalten versehen? Serious Games - Gute Spiele die keinen Spaß machen? Wie Spieltrieb den Lerneffekt fördern kann. Verfolgen Spiele eine absichtliche Agenda mit Lerninhalten? Fördern schnelle Dopamin Drücker die Lernmotivation? Wie kann man die innere Lernmotivation fördern? Sollte man Spiele um Lerninhalte herum bauen? Und: Kann man Gewalt durch Videospiele lernen?

Die Art und Weise, wie Spieler Videospiele erleben, wird stark von den verwendeten Eingabegeräten beeinflusst. Diese Geräte, die als Schnittstelle zwischen dem Spieler und der digitalen Welt dienen, können das Spielverhalten, die Spielstrategie und die allgemeine Spielerfahrung erheblich verändern. Während traditionelle Controller und Tastaturen eine solide Grundlage für die meisten Spiele bieten, ermöglichen spezialisierte Geräte wie Lenkräder, VR-Brillen und exotische Controller eine tiefere Immersion und oft auch eine realistischere und intensivere Spielerfahrung. Letztlich können die Wahl des Eingabegeräts und die damit verbundene Anpassung des Spielverhaltens das Spielerlebnis maßgeblich verbessern und erweitern. Die Themen: Wie die Wahl des Eingabegeräts das Gamedesign beeinflusst. Drum Revolution - Mit einem Jump'n'Run Game Schlagzeug spielen lernen. Die wichtigen Unterschiede zwischen Lernspiel- und Unterhaltungsspiel-Design. Warum sind Spiele wie Rock Band und Ring Fit nur Eintagsfliegen? Macht es wirklich Sinn, wenn das Controller-Design den Spielinhalt bestimmt? Wii und Kinect: Wie universell kann der Einsatz von Bewegungssteuerung sein? Die Massentauglichkeit vom minimalsten Aufwand, ein Spiel zu steuern. Und Die Legende von King Art und dem magischen Zauberstab-Controller.

Mathilde, Narrative designer chez Shiro Games, s'installe au coin du feu pour nous parler de son travail d'écriture des quêtes RPG de type sandbox (bac-à-sable) et de leurs contraintes techniques. Elle nous parle de Wartales, du lore, de la morale (parfois immorale) de son univers medieval low-fantasy, de sa façon de travailler avec les équipes et de ses méthodes pour créer des quêtes non lineaires. En fin d'épisode, elle partage plusieurs petits conseils intéressants pour les aspirants(e)s Game Designers ou Narrative Designers qui souhaitent s'orienter vers ce métier !

Hey hey! We're back with our second episode that we recorded at this year's GDC, and it's a doozy! In a switch from how we normally do things, we brought a grab bag of simple questions to the conference and hit up people who were free, and so y'all get to see how everyone's answers differed. In our first group, we had Ben Starr (actor, Final Fantasy XVI), Alexa Ray Corriea (senior writer at Cliffhanger Games on Black Panther), Kait Tremblay (narrative director at Soft Rains), and Kelsey Beachum (writer / narrative designer). In our second group (starting at 35:21) we had Adam Dolin (writer), Kate Dollarhyde (senior narrative designer at Obsidian Entertainment), and Kelsie Mhoon (senior narrative designer at Obsidian Entertainment on The Outer Worlds 2). Our third group (starting at 1:19:39) had Emma Kidwell (writer at Firaxis), Nessa Cannon (game writer), and Calliope Ryder (lead producer Weta Workshop on Tales of the Shire). And we closed things out (at 1:47:33) with Chandana Ekanayake (co-founder / creative director of Outerloop Games, and director of Thirsty Suitors). Topics include: hobbies that aren't related to game development, current game of the year, favorite villains / antagonists, a time you messed up and what you learned from it, how you stay positive, games you keep returning to, favorite choice you've ever made in a game, people in this industry who did something nice for you, favorite NPCs, games you're always referencing that nobody else has ever heard of, games that made you think differently about something, first game you played where the story really affected you, what you'd force devs to change during production, games you wish you'd gotten to work on, how to get team members to read documentation, something in your process that saves a ton of time, advice for people wanting to get into game narrative, and so SO much more it's kinda insane!!!Our Guests on the InternetGroup 1: Ben Starr, Alexa Ray Corriea, Kait Tremblay, Kelsey BeachumGroup 2: Adam Dolin, Kate Dollarhyde (wants you to play Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire), Kelsie Mhoon (wants you to play Jak 2)Group 3: Emma Kidwell (wants you to play Hindsight and Midnight Suns), Nessa Cannon (wants you to wishlist Star Trucker), Calliope Ryder (wants you to wishlist Tales of the Shire)Group 4: Chandana Ekanayake (wants you to play Thirsty Suitors)Stuff We Talked AboutPrince of Persia: The Lost CrownFinal Fantasy VII RebirthDave the DiverChants of SenaarGarden GalaxyAdvent RisingPrey - MooncrashPyre Original SoundtrackLonely Rolling Star - Katamari DamacyAquatic Ambiance - Donkey Kong CountryLiberi Fatali - Final Fantasy VIIITony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 creditsAnna Megill's Game Writing GuidesAdam's LLVTR game writing class is no longer being offered otherwise we'd link it :'[Packing Up the Rest of Your Stuff on the Last Day at Your Old ApartmentDredgeGrowthNina Freeman's GamesFull ThrottleBellatroA Short HikeLong Live the QueenGame Dev StoryOur theme music was composed by Isabella Ness, and our logo was created by Lily Nishita.

#301Pothole RunNice Games Jam2023.04.21According to Minnesota Public Radio, it's hot girl sinkhole spring. In other words, we have an insane number of potholes right now in the Twin Cities, and since we can't do anything other than wait for the hardworking folks of road repair to fix them, we made a game about the whole situation. Andy and Beth Korth join for this special Nice Games Jam!GLOM preorder through Miniature MarketGLOM preorder through GameNerdz✨hot girl sinkhole spring✨ - Minnesota Public RadioUptown washout leaves 8-foot-deep sinkhole in Minneapolis intersection - Tim Nelson and Kerem Yücel, Minnesota Public RadioThe Korths are back! They were first on episode #002Steam GreenlightEpisode #102 with Beth & AndyCode Comment: "Verdant Skies"Episode #204 with Beth & AndyFamilies in GamesEpisode #132 with Beth Narrative Design An example of the pothole + sinkhole situation we're dealing with this spring.Another view of the school bus sinkhole.PromptEllen gave us a prompt: "Create a game about patching potholes that Gabe would have fun playing"Game typeTabletop gameMaterialsMarblesPlay-Doh or alternative squishynessA very complicated custom game boardRoad tiles of various sizes and configurationsSetupSet up the custom game boardDistribute marbles to all playersDistribute Play-Doh to all playersDistribute road / terrain tiles to all playersDetermine who will be the first player per the rules belowRulesIn a nutshell, the game challenges players to roll marbles down a hill. The hill is made of road tiles, but some of the tiles are pitted with potholes. Players can use Playdoh to patch potholes in the road so the marbles will make it to the finish.The board is a grid laid over a raised pyramid where players put down terrain. Everything starts in the center (city hall); that's where you put the marbles so they roll down the hill. Each quadrant is a side of the pyramid, there's some method of tiling for the player to put pieces down to determine how the marbles will travel in that area.Turn orderPlay starts with the player who most recently hit a pothole with their car or their bike. In case of a tie (as might happen if multiple players were in a car together), the younger player goes first.Play then proceeds clockwise.Players can take 3 actions on their turn. You can do the same action more than once. The actions are:Rotate the boardPlace or swap a tilePatch a potholeDrop a marbleTilesEach tile is worth 1, 2 or 3 victory points when marbles pass through. The rougher the tile, the more victory points it's worth.Players also get a bit of Play-Doh to fill up potholes in the terrain.Players have 5 tiles in their hand at any given time; as an action, they can play one, then draw back up to 5 tiles.Rotating the boardRotating the board happens towards the left (counterclockwise), the opposite of play order, which goes to the right (clockwise). Each rotation turns the board 90 degrees.Scoring & dropping marblesIf a marble reaches the bottom of the hill in front of you, you get the victory points that it acquired from each tile it moved through on its journey from the top of the hill to the bottom.You ONLY get the victory points if the marble reaches the bottom of the hill. If you drop a marble as an action, and the marble gets stuck on the way, you don't get any points from the tiles it passed through.Winning the gamePlay proceeds in 12 rounds. Each player gets one turn per round.Play ends when the turn counter reaches zero (game starts at the start of winter, ends at the start of the next winter)Whoever has acquired the most victory points by the end of the "year" is the winner of Pothole RunFun stuff to think about for the futureWe have to create an extractor to get the playdoh out.Cooperative play mode? Roles for each player? Someone who's better at filling potholes, someone who can put more marbles down, etc. Maybe two teams?
Happy Holidays!

Our live panel at Gamehole Con about Narrative Design in TTRPGs. Narrative design stands at the intersection of game design and writing. On one hand, a good story can pull in a player and keep them engaged. On the other, games are player-driven experiences. How does a designer weight those two elements? What are the distinct challenges and opportunities in narrative design? Our panel of experts tackle these topics and the questions you may have.

According to Minnesota Public Radio, it's hot girl sinkhole spring. In other words, we have an insane number of potholes right now in the Twin Cities, and since we can't do anything other than wait for the hardworking folks of road repair to fix them, we made a game about the whole situation. Andy and Beth Korth join for this special Nice Games Jam!GLOM preorder through Miniature MarketGLOM preorder through GameNerdz✨hot girl sinkhole spring✨ - Minnesota Public RadioUptown washout leaves 8-foot-deep sinkhole in Minneapolis intersection - Tim Nelson and Kerem Yücel, Minnesota Public Radio The Korths are back! They were first on episode #002 Steam Greenlight Episode #102 with Beth & Andy Code Comment: "Verdant Skies" Episode #204 with Beth & Andy Families in Games Episode #132 with Beth Narrative Design An example of the pothole + sinkhole situation we're dealing with this spring. Another view of the school bus sinkhole. Prompt Ellen gave us a prompt: "Create a game about patching potholes that Gabe would have fun playing" Game type Tabletop game Materials MarblesPlay-Doh or alternative squishynessA very complicated custom game boardRoad tiles of various sizes and configurations Setup Set up the custom game boardDistribute marbles to all playersDistribute Play-Doh to all playersDistribute road / terrain tiles to all playersDetermine who will be the first player per the rules below Rules In a nutshell, the game challenges players to roll marbles down a hill. The hill is made of road tiles, but some of the tiles are pitted with potholes. Players can use Playdoh to patch potholes in the road so the marbles will make it to the finish.The board is a grid laid over a raised pyramid where players put down terrain. Everything starts in the center (city hall); that's where you put the marbles so they roll down the hill. Each quadrant is a side of the pyramid, there's some method of tiling for the player to put pieces down to determine how the marbles will travel in that area.Turn orderPlay starts with the player who most recently hit a pothole with their car or their bike. In case of a tie (as might happen if multiple players were in a car together), the younger player goes first.Play then proceeds clockwise.Players can take 3 actions on their turn. You can do the same action more than once. The actions are:Rotate the boardPlace or swap a tilePatch a potholeDrop a marbleTilesEach tile is worth 1, 2 or 3 victory points when marbles pass through. The rougher the tile, the more victory points it's worth.Players also get a bit of Play-Doh to fill up potholes in the terrain.Players have 5 tiles in their hand at any given time; as an action, they can play one, then draw back up to 5 tiles.Rotating the boardRotating the board happens towards the left (counterclockwise), the opposite of play order, which goes to the right (clockwise). Each rotation turns the board 90 degrees.Scoring & dropping marblesIf a marble reaches the bottom of the hill in front of you, you get the victory points that it acquired from each tile it moved through on its journey from the top of the hill to the bottom.You ONLY get the victory points if the marble reaches the bottom of the hill. If you drop a marble as an action, and the marble gets stuck on the way, you don't get any points from the tiles it passed through.Winning the gamePlay proceeds in 12 rounds. Each player gets one turn per round.Play ends when the turn counter reaches zero (game starts at the start of winter, ends at the start of the next winter)Whoever has acquired the most victory points by the end of the "year" is the winner of Pothole RunFun stuff to think about for the futureWe have to create an extractor to get the playdoh out.Cooperative play mode? Roles for each player? Someone who's better at filling potholes, someone who can put more marbles down, etc. Maybe two teams?
Ross Berger joined the Creative Writing Life podcast to discuss writing video games and to share what it's like to teach at USC. IMDb - https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1785725/credits His books: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B1P5JP6H https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XH3N3D2 FROM ROSS: I'm a consumer-focused creative leader with over fifteen years of content creation experience, who's worked for both SMB and Fortune 500 companies. I embrace the future of content and have a long track record of working on new content platforms before they reach mainstream (YouTube, Virtual Reality, app creation). As a constant learner and trend predictor, I define my professional areas of expertise in two ways: Writing, Narrative Design, and Transmedia Strategy. I have written for television, new media, second-screen experiences, virtual reality, and video games. I've also helped companies develop entertainment franchises and soon-to-be-released brands through the writing of story bibles and content road-maps. Today, the different ways in which stories are told and brands are communicated require nimble thinking, intense collaboration, and a fluency in different media. I rise to the occasion under such demands. Project Management and Producing. I'm not just a creative. I'm also someone who welcomes the managerial demands of a project. Where 40% of my day is devoted to content creation, 60% is set aside for managing relationships with stakeholders, overseeing budgets and schedules, and leading co-workers and vendors to reach the quality bar for any given deliverable. I thrive on collaboration and do my level-best to remove any obstacle that a co-worker might face in their day-to-day. --- Learn more from Paul's and Justin's books, both on Amazon!

Narrative design an often overlooked yet crucial aspect of game development. When done correctly, a game can inspire, delight, and represent players in ways never thought of before. But when done incorrectly, a game risks offending, alienating, and misrepresenting players who may seek comfort and joy in a particular project. In this episode of Those Who Play Create! I talk with Tori Schafer about the art of narrative design!
