| Speaker(s): | Jennifer Hepler |
| Company Name(s): | Kognito Interactive |
| Track / Format: | Game Narrative Summit |
| Overview: | Have you ever struggled with how to present complex information to players without turning your dialogue into an info-dump? Does it sometimes feel like your characters are just signposts for the plot, rather than people with lives and opinions of their own? Exposition is a huge burden for game writers, with complex worlds and byzantine storylines warring with short attention spans and action-driven play. Come and learn effective techniques for camouflaging your exposition through effective characterization, "breadcrumb trails," unreliable narrators and conflicting points of view. |
