Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch

In this episode, we discuss programming, hyperrealism, and story writing. In novels, the author controls the narrative and mostly guides the reader through a plot as a passenger. In contrast, video games often make you the protagonist and writers can’t always predict what you’ll do, so flexibly adapting to player choices and interactions is a challenge. It’s the essence of — we’re gonna say it, brace yourself — ludonarrative!
