I have a BFA in animation (storyboard artist), but I've been interested in pivoting to video games. Narrative design has always peaked my interest, this was very insightful :)

Im gonna try do this but pass on veilguard

One thing that a narrative designer has to learn is to get to the point when making RUclips videos.

In the words of Bane "What a lovely lovely voice" Ahaha thankyou for the tips tho Quite helpful

I have always wanted to LARP but I had severe nerve damage. Luckily PT has meant I'm able to walk around now, so I really want to try it. I have pirate costumes, so I want to be a pirate, but I don't understand the different factions/characters/races, etc.

After debating for YEARS on whether or not I wanted to go to Empire, I finally decided that 2025 is going to be the year that I go and this video just made me so much more excited for it!!!

too bad that Veilguard is such dog s%it.....

Idk why this was suggested to me, but it looks absolutely fascinating! Have a subscription :)

Eurohike are cheap and need so much upkeep and care.

Not sure I've ever learned this much in such a short span of time. Truly. Would love to see more discussions like this!

The video was really awesome, one thing I would recommend is making your thumbnail more eye-catching.

"Dont read the wiki" Me: *laughing in pathological obsession*

"the game's industry is quite small" uhh... what, are you new around here? 😅

Awesome video! Very informative, and the cozy vibes are great.

Oh, these were on our reading list! Thanks for the guide :D

I loved The Calling. Really gives a great sense of the oppressiveness and claustrophobia of the deep roads. Also Kell and Hafter are absolute BAFMs

My recommended Reading/Playing order: 1. The Stolen Throne 2. The Calling 3. Dragon Age: Origins OR 1. Dragon Age: Origins 2. The Stolen Throne 3. The Calling (Optional: Replay DAO) 4. Dragon Age 2 5. Asunder 6. The Masked Empire 7. Dragon Age: Inquisition 8. Last Flight 9. Tevinter Nights

Very good, indeed. Stories in games are still not taken very seriously. But to be fair, same goes for movies, increasingly. Style over substance, baby.

Hey folks, i know this video has some mixing issues with the audio - sorry about that! Hopefully auto captions help a bit and I'll try and mix the sound better in future episodes 😊

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

The music is too loud relative to the dialogue. It's really difficult to hear you.

Lovely video! <3

estas bien bonita

Damn gurl, you a baddie like fo real tho

So you are the game experience DEI infuser?!

Very honest, lovely video. Thanks for your insight:)

TLDR: Put a chick in it and make her g ay and lame

So Cosy! I love Empire and I am missing it a lot this long dark. Are you attending any player events while we wait for next season?

What advice would you give on building my portfolio. I have so much material I worked on and I have no idea how to really put them together. I don't want to just throw it in google docs and use that as a link as I don't think companies will look at it

I was a teacher for seven years, but had the opportunity to be lead writer/narrative design on a game for just over two years. We raised a lot of money, and partnered with ubisoft, and the game just launched on Epic Games this August, but my contract ended and I've had trouble finding work since. It's really weird because I'm from a completely different field, but I'm in love with making games now, and it sucks trying to find someone who'll take me with only two years' experience, despite actually shipping a game. If you have any tips or videos on how to pitch yourself as a writer in the industry, it'd be much appreciated. Subbed and will eagerly await the next installation!

This does make me wonder how the developers behind Mass Effect and The Witcher handled this kind of information, since those games had wildly divergent plot branches not just within individual titles but between installments. I'm appreciating just how much work those teams put into keeping the wheels from falling off of their narratives.

This is something I've studied a fair bit, but when you mentioned Powerpoint, I could only react with a "...oh, that does make sense, doesn't it?" I feel like organizing plot and dialogue flow not having an industry standard (in the way that film scripts are standardized, if such a thing is even possible in games) is one of the big stumbling blocks for ND as an art form, but I somehow never realized I had a Pretty Good option already installed on my computer. I am very glad that RUclips randomly recommended this for me out of nowhere. My only critique is that you've got a compelling background character who was greatly underutilized and could certainly carry their own subplot. Definitely worth developing further!

Rhianne, please make the audio louder, I like the video but it's hard to hear

My thoughts on this are you speak of those who are looking to take up this role as a career maybe and as an Indie dev myself I know there are many roles that we must become competent at as disciplines. However, Narrative Design is certainly a key role that binds many projects together and is not talked about often enough. This was an informative tea, no chalk but talk. appreciated the knowledge share, new sub.

I'm in my 60s, with lots of camping, D& D, and cosplay experience you have inspired me to look into LARP here in the USA. Your creativity, bravery, and cleverness are refreshing and inspiring. As a woman, of a certain age, I am used to being overlooked and ignored. Roll play is a place I can be as big or as small as I like, according to my character and the collaborative story. The gaming community is more welcoming than it has ever been, and most of the time a safe place for those who are discovering their real selves, or trying to find a tribe. So, You have inspired me to give it a go, gonna research groups in my area and see what I can find. Thank you , and thanks to all the gamer/ d&d/ LARP folks who are trying to make the hobby less mysterious and more accessible. Best wishes from Colorado USA.

Live this and I loved being able to interact with Selene this event. Can't wait to get back next year!

I'm starting my Empire journey soon! If I see you there, I'll give you a wave!

Good morning :)

Aww! Cosy vlogs and camping videos I’m all about! Thank you for making this for us 😊

Cosy Vibes! ☺☺☺☺

Great video, very consize and informative! I've run into the same problems with finding resources for narrative design. I'm pretty new to the field and have been creating content for that specific reason as I learn myself. What are some subjects/areas of narrative design that you feel could use exploring/highlighting/explaining for beginners? I'd love to have a little chat about that!

if you put a self-inflating mat on top of your camp bed you get maximum comfort, and they're not that large or heavy.

late but the socks link leads to the facepaint, i keep hearing socks are important hehe

your smile was so big in the end when you talked about starting as somewhat of a blank slate and now having found where you want to take her organically, because you had so many inspirations during the weekend. oof thats so good.

Please could you do a video on how you pack everything for public transport 😭😭 I’m desperate to go to empire but I have no idea how I’d manage to take everything on trains and tubes!!!

Took me way too long to get around to watching this! Always good to see you in the field. I would always be weary of eurohike gear, you can sometimes get a good bargain but in general i dont rate the quality of that brand at all. Camping gear in general, I've got an abundance of camping gear if you ever want the Dragons Watch crew to bring anything down for you to borrow I'd be more than happy, think we know you well enough at this point to know you'll look after it 😊. *scoooooons awaaay!*

As someone who has absolutely no idea where to start, but just knowing that this is something I've always wanted to get into, I found this so so so helpful! Thank you so much for not going super crazy in depth where it could be confusing due to over explaining, but still covering everything ! Super cool! Thanks!!

have yet to watch the video, but I’m with you in the photo from the “😮” thumbnail! Hahaha. Urizen group chat asked me what i said to you hahaha. I was so excited to see you, but i remember Mark Hulmes saying people coming up to them on field made immersion hard so i shushed up, and asked where dawn was. (Thanks, was genuinely lost ahah) You looked BRILLIANT! I am so glad i got to see you, you helped a lot. It was my first event and your videos were so good. I’m in a new group already (have to change my kit to pink aaaa things online keep coming in apricot or purple hELP) so if you see any pink urizen it might be us <3 say hi you’re all lovely. Thanks for naming the tent haha
