You should do more of these. Found the video to be insightful and surprisingly relaxing, given the way you explained the concept in a relatively "easy listening" manner. 👍
Thank you so much! I plan on doing more soon as well as a variety of other nerdy content :)
I love the cozy vibe!! I'm a narrative designer myself but I'm still fairly new so this was hugely helpful. Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏼
thank you so much! It's lovely to hear this is helpful to fellow ND's
Thank you very much for this video. Narrative Designer is my dream job and your insight helped me to have even more clarity about the process. Thanks
As a game design student who is about to start enter 2nd year and start a module in narrative design…thank you! There are very limited resources available so this has been really useful 😊
I'm glad this was useful. Thank you for watching! :)
this was SO incredibly helpful. would love to see more of these!!
Thank you so much! I am planning on doing more. Just need more time to film and edit them :)
Wow, I just got a lot of useful information in a cozy atmosphere) Thank you for your video!
Just wanted to say thanks for making this, it was super helpful. I'd love to see more vids in the same vein!
Thank you! I hope to make more in the future :)
OH MY GOSH I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU! Narrative designer at my favorite publisher/developer🎉
Easy to listen to. Please make a bunch more of these videos!! Nice to meet you 😅😊
Thank you ☺️ and welcome friend!
Yay new Rhianne video ☕😁
wow! i love this video and the content, thank u for this information
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video. I would be interested how the Scripting tools, Final Draft, Articy and Celtx are used in practice. Right now it seems that Articy and Celtx offer a free trial version of their software.
Hi there! These tools can be used to write scripts for a game ☺️
Helpful, and spoken in a soothing tone. Thank you for the video. 👏
Any chance you do portfolio reviews? Asking for a friend, 😅
Thank you for watching! I'm not at the moment but please reach out to me in the new year via Twitter or IG and I'm happy to have a look :)
@@RhianneMurphy Happy new year 🎉❤
I have one question though Rhianne, How would you recommend a person to develop a game designer skillset/mentality when you have a writer background only?
It's tricky to know where to start, and there isn't just one way to go about it. You can look at joining game jams, do a short solo project, watch RUclips tutorials about how to use certain engines, or even take online courses (which there are many). I hope that gives you some food for thought :)
Great video - There´s my subscriber support for you. Are there ANY links or examples of portfolio work - Literally what it LOOKS like?
No one´s covered that part in anything I´ve watched.
Most people I know have never had a ´thing´ published so how do people get something on screen into their portfoilio that is extracted from a game if they´ve never had that experience?
Thank you for the sub! So for narrative, there are multiple things you can show in your portfolio, mostly examples of writing. This can be in the form of scripts, any prose you have written, character biographies, or even any D&D Oneshots you have made! The other thing I'd highly recommend is and example of your writing in a game - solo projects, game jams, student projects, and even mods for existing games. It's one thing to be good at writing, but it's another skill to be able to translate that into an interactable medium. I hope this helps!
Hello, I'm a Game Designer Junior fresh out of school and despite a great interest in Narrative Design, it wasn't a subject in the years of study I did. I would like to start a personal project to gain experience and add to my portfolio but I really don't know what would be a good project as a first experience and which would still be attractive for employers.
As a Narrative Designer yourself, what exercice would you say encompasses the various skills of a Narrative Designer and would make a nice addition to a portfolio ?
Hello fellow designer! In my opinion, the best thing to add to your portfolio would be any sort of game project. This doesn't have to be big or complicated but the best way to demonstrate your understanding of how narrative elements work in an interactive media is by creating them in said interactive media! Showcasing writing, branching choices and dialogue are some of the ways you can do this in a game project. Hope this helps!
I just found this channel through your Twitter. It says you are a narrative designer for Square Enix. I thought Square Enix was a Japanese studio and that they sold off the Tomb Raider and other Western IPs to Embracer? Unless I'm unaware of some Western games still under Square Enix's umbrella OR of course if you work for Square Enix directly in Japan, e.g. their Final Fantasy games. Can you tell what games you are working on right now or is it a unannounced project still?
Hello! Square has many offices across the world working on many IP's! I can't currently share what I'm working on but there are many western properties Square has published/worked on :)
@@RhianneMurphy I see, thanks for answering. I like your replies in the comment section, you don't beat around the bush and seem to give advice based on the industry practises. I look forward to see what you are working on in the future. Happy holidays!
Happy to do a collab if you're interested. :D
Lol Word, Excel and Powerpoint. I'm addicted to world building in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides these days
