Game Design
A brief essay on “passages in game design” that I wrote for my university’s news room page.
The gist of it:
Passage is structure, not story. It’s not about challenges or plot points, it’s about rules and mood. As a passage, it should serve as an introduction when the game is played for the first time, and from then on, well-chosen details of it should serve as a reminder every single time until it is finished.
Enjoy!
If you have something valuable to add or some interesting point to discuss, I’ll be looking forward to meeting you at Mastodon!
