Defining Narrative within Video Games
6Hi folks!
I've been super busy, though decided to quickly upload this.
Narrative, yes. It's something game developers might want to get their head around so as to create more enjoyable experiences for the player. The problem is how to interpret narrative for a relatively new entertainment form (at least compared to traditional mediums like literature and theatre).
