Speech description

The plot and the narrative are two different, but related matters. While the former is primarily the domain of the writers, the second lies in the hands of the entire team. In our speech, we’ll present the alternative methods of delivering the story and discuss the ways of building a cohesive narrative through nonverbal tools. The story is a pivotal part of the game and with the use of coherent narrative, both elements create the integrity that makes players understand the essence of the game.
