This time, we dive into another perspective inside game development as we talk to Carlos Valdes, Senior writer for YangYang Mobile. He joins the show to give us an insight into a writer's thought process behind weaving worlds and creating memorable characters for visual novel games.
In this episode, we tackle:
- What differentiates visual novel games from reading a book and how does that affect the user experience?
- Understanding the kind of audience that visual novels appeal to and how to speak to that demographic
- The challenges of writing for visual novels vs writing for other video games
- Best practices in creating narratives that make people stay engaged
