There have been many ups and downs over the years, good and bad times—too many horror stories that friends and colleagues have experienced, but also uplifting stories, of decent folk and companies doing their best.

Thank you, all.

Excited to start writing my next Twine game 🎉 First draft of the opening passage, so forgive any typos, repetitive worlds and other imperfections.
#NarrativeDesign #GameWriting #Twine #games
A screenshot of a Twine passage called "The Beginning". It says: You crouch behind a trea as a projectile swishes by your ear. Smoke tickles your nostrils, cries echo in the air, and your head swims in the sweltering heat of a burning forest. It hurts as if your own body were burning, even though the flames haven't touched your skin yet. As you lean your forehead against the trunk and inhale its rich aroma, your mind intermingles with the mind of the tree, signals of pain and panic traveling up its roots from the vast network below. You bite your lip until it bleeds, as tears stream from your eyes. Your sole purpose in life has been to protect the Forest, but you have failed.

@Steam gave good notes.“Rewrite the blurb. Redo the header.”

Writing about a game where the mechanics and story twists are the experience, without spoiling it, is tough. But we’re close.

Wishlist soon!

How do you measure successful narrative design?

Putting too much emphasis on how choices affect the story can undermine the unfolding narrative.

Who writes the story of your favorite ride? 👀 That’s a job. And it’s weirder than you think.

We crafted narratives for IPs like Star Wars & Stranger Things—so you could scream through them.
