  • @danwork2011
    @danwork2011 5 месяцев назад

    Sorry, I just discovered this material now. It seems like it's hard to get away from the truth that governs any story. Any process that causes a narrative project to unfold, under the banner of drama, is about writing. About inventing worlds, characters, actions, reactions, happenings. Heroes, protagonists, antagonists, rules that carry the story forward. Narratology is the study of narrative and narrative structure and the ways that these affect human perception. This is also the case for a game. So, please, avoid this confusion. Narrative is one kind. The graphic artist just comes in and puts into visual form a story that is written by a writer and follows the rules of narratology and dramaturgy. He is a graphic artist. How do we tell the story? Come on, you tell the story exactly as it's written in the script and, obviously, as someone else cuts it out. In film it's done by the director and later by the editor. Is that why games have become so boring and lacking in dynamics? Because, suddenly, for some years now, animators and graphic designers have become writers?

    I haven't watched the vid yet, but I do hope you mention one very IMPORTANT characteristic of a game studio: Hiring people based on MERIT and not just to fulfill a DEI quota. Oh, and of course, DON'T hire companies to rewrite your narrative based upon 'woke' nonsense (IE: Sweet Baby Inc).

No Comps 33:33 HUD architecture, observe instead of command. 34:19 Architecture, what knows about what? // basically what I've been coming here for - in another review, they talked about how a component shouldn't care about what kind of actor it's on, ie no `MyChar->DoStuff` in comp.

    Indie devs pouring all the narrative into notes scattered around in a walking simulator need to watch this. Heck, even Remedy with their Control need to watch this. I remember how people were defending Control's story, which had a large part of it told through missable collectables, it was crazy. Yes, if you do find (and read) all those collectables the lore and the narrative become much more interesting, but if you don't - the story falls completely flat. Gamers do not read and do not listen, so important parts of the lore and story should be visualized in some way, and all those notes should serve as addition to that.
