In this 2020 GDC virtual talk, Die Gute Fabrik's Hannah Nicklin discusses the key techniques, challenges and potential of writing for ensemble casts compared to 'heroes' tales' in video games.
It was a great talk about an under-discussed subject in games, which are dominated by lone wolf hero tropes. In her concise walkthrough Nicklin offered practical advice on how to design and write games with compelling multi-character narratives, using great examples from her own work and others.
If you missed the live broadcast last month, don't miss your chance to now watch Nicklin's talk completely free on the official GDC YouTube channel!
In addition to this presentation, the GDC Vault and its accompanying YouTube channel offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent Game Developers Conference events, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.
