Does Environmental Storytelling REALLY Matter in Games? [Full VOD]
7On last week's stream, Rick worked on enhancing environmental storytelling in Droian by adding decor and refining our game design. But here’s the big question: Does environmental storytelling REALLY matter in game dev? Spoiler: YES, always! Especially in small indie games like Droian, where there’s no dialogue, the environment tells the story.
Watch as Rick uses tools like Godot and Aseprite to make pixel art decor, test designs, and dive deep into environmental storytelling to bring Droian’s world to life. If you’re passionate about game dev, game design, or crafting immersive indie games, this stream is for you!
