Construction and Perception of Narrative Perspective in Game Storytelling

Activity: Talk or presentationOral presentation

Description

For narrative-driven games, perspective is both a complex design construct and an ideological tool for game designers to create meaningful narrative experience for players. In analysing design elements serving as narrative devices and leading to the construction of perspective, Dr Wei’s team discovered that ideology is the anchoring connection between the game design and players’ take on the game narrative. This talk presents their work in progress in exploring the entangled relations among in-game ideology facilitated by gameplay mechanics, character identification, focalisation style, and player-enacted ideological perspective in their gameplay performance.
