Narrative Design in Levels

I contributed to the narrative of levels in 2 main areas, these were-

Proto Help Posts

Proto Help Posts were objects scattered around levels that provided diegetic tutorials to aid inexperienced players in understanding the core mechanics of the game

These were delivered to players in character to maintain players’ immersion in the game

NPC Dialogue

This was dialogue of core characters of levels, providing players with context, direction and tone to their actions in each level

I ensured each NPC’s dialogue remained true to their character represented in their corresponding IP, mixed with comedic/whimsical tones that come with the Funko aspect of the game
