My Design Philosophy
THE GAMARATIVE FRAMEWORK
An ongoing venture to study and explain Narrative Design in digital games;
the Gamarative Framework identifies four holistic areas in any Game design process
for narrative design intervention:
Protagonist design, establishing unity of player and character
Who is the
player?
Narrative build up over interactive systems and gameplay progression
What can the player do?
How does the player feel?
The tone, mood or feel of the game. The grand unification factor that sustains the suspension of disbelief
Design Philosophy
How does the player feel?
Things I do
A presentation of some personal Game Projects.
Proofs of concepts and open explorations that highlight the design process and the intent of each of the desired experiences.
Design analysis of select Video Games from a narrative design stand point.
Things they got right, and places where they could have done better.
Writing is my escape.
This is where I get into a state of seamless flow.
Here's a collection of some recent traditional and interactive fiction work
Stuff I'm good at
Making sure that all constituents of the whole, align with a unifying undertone. Thus enabling me to design a cohesive experience with an enormous impact
Ideological Consistency
Capable of forming the big picture of a project in mind. Helps me assess the impact of local design decisions on the overall narrative
Bird's eye View
Ability to break an experience down to its intangible constituents such that I may subjectively assess their contributions for or against a desired outcome.
Qualitative Analysis
Keeping an organised record of the design process as well as ideological progress. Helps me anchor creative endeavours.
Documentation
Ability to reduce concrete and complex objects and relationships to simple placeholders such that I can rid conceptualisation of excessive cognitive load
Abstract
Conceptualisation
Understanding perspectives that aren't aligned to one's personal belief systems. Empowers me to foresee conflicts and pitfalls prior to analytical validation.
Empathy
