Hi! Excited to announce that our panel Creating Touchstones in Emergent Narratives will be part of SXSW Online 2021 under the track Transforming the Entertainment Landscape.
We had so much to talk about during our LudoNarraCon session that we felt like we could go on for another hour. The SXSW session will delve into new areas as we discuss recapture techniques, why touchstones are important, and more! Join us at SXSW Online March 16-20, 2021.
Here's the panel description:
When: Tuesday, March 16, 2021
Time: 11:15 - 12:10 Eastern Time
Games have a unique ability to establish empathy between a player and a world and characters, but game players don’t always follow the path the narrative lays out for them. This panel discusses how designers and storytellers can build in empathic elements that can be found and engaged with even when the larger narrative gets delivered out of order.
