Biographies: The Quick and Dirty Way
@baroness.bsky.social (Old Skies, Stellaris) discusses using biographies to help players in LARPs. Can we use a similar technique to encourage videogame players to roleplay more intensively?
@baroness.bsky.socialReposted by @inkle.coIt's meeee! It's so worth looking at other playful arts and see how they tackle the same issues. We had a lovely discussion about different approaches to character creation and player agency and immersion, in digital and physical play

@inkle.co(And similarly have a divert at the beginning to wherever you want to test, and put that behind the same constant)
@inkle.coUsually we define a const and then add a “if this const end” into the script where we want to stop. you don’t check it in, but even if you do, you can turn them all off reliably
@inkle.coWe’ve had them for most of our games since Heaven’s Vault and it’s true, for big games it gets unwieldy. But the beauty of being built into the IDE is you can use it for subsections - to test a scene, a short sequence - in an adhoc way
