Game Narrative Summit: It's All in the Ending: Storytelling and Design Strategies in 'Jedi: Survivor'
While a good story can pull you through a game like no other, game writers have a lot of other responsibilities that are crucial to player experience. Contextualizing new mechanics to make a player's actions more impactful. Introducing player fantasies to keep players invested until the game's end.

Using the final hours of Star Wars Jedi - Survivor, lead writer Danny Homan and Senior Encounter Designer Patrick Wren examine the importance of contextualizing mechanics, introducing new player fantasies, and engaging players through end-game content.
