In our last article, we covered the three major C\u2019s of storytelling: character, conflict, and change. Using these rules will set the foundation of your game\u2019s narrative. But that doesn\u2019t mean your work is done.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s so much more to building a strong narrative. And in part two of our storytelling series, we cover six narrative techniques you can use in your titles to help boost your storytelling and character development.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n

1. Consider a shared story<\/h2>\n

You might not want to go into a huge amount of detail for every game you create (especially if you\u2019re working with hyper-casual or casual titles \u2013 which have notoriously short lifespans). While it would make each game unique, it can take a lot of time.<\/p>\n

Instead, think about whether you can create a single story that all your games tie into. This can help keep players in your ecosystem, jumping from game to game to get the full story.<\/p>\n
