Finding the plot: Level design techniques for visually communicating narrative to players
Story is a crucial part of many games, offering players the unique experience of being an active participant in the storytelling process. Level design is central to player experience and an integral way that games communicate with the player. It’s not just designing cool spaces for gameplay to take place in, but an important tool that can be used to tell stories, set the mood, and impact player emotions. This talk will cover ways that level design can be used to not only physically reflect the narrative but communicate it directly to the player.
