Narrative design is like skinning cats. There, I said it.

Speech description

How is narrative design similar to turning fluffies into tiny chimney rugs? There’s more than one good way of doing it. And everything depends on context. In this morbid talk, I will take three fake game pitches and design the narrative for each of them, giving real examples of the challenges you may face and solutions that you may apply in different gamedev contexts – from tiny indie projects to moneyed AAA productions.
