is one of the most striking indie games coming out this summer. With graphics that wouldn’t look out of place in a Dreamworks animated movie and sword fighting action that would make Zorro blush. To dig a solid fantasy out of that ‘omelette’, we found ourselves essentially relying on a good ol’ helping of subtractive design.

I say more about each game on the podcast, so make sure to check that out.

But precisely because we live in a world of 'stories everywhere', we need to be careful to understand how games engage with narrative. Games love to fool the player into believing that they have control and influence in the game world (which they do - but only of a much narrower kind that we tend to recognise).

In this sense, playing a 75% finished game is more useful than playing a 100% finished game. So this post will focus on my read of the general game design and player experience. The player never quite experiences these ideas in the game itself. Similarly, you can see where the core game design wanted to hit.

So simulationism was born as a way to make fantasy worlds richer, more immersive… in a sense, to “make the ride better.” But it’s also visible in the Holodeck, or in anime like Sword Art Online (which was directly inspired by Ultima Online !). It’s stuff that single-player game designers know how to do. So is FFXIV.
