Pictured: determination.
My name is Joannes, and this blog is part of my endeavour to become a Narrative Designer, which is a function focused on (the implementation of) story in videogames. While serving as a central repository for any thoughts and impressions I have and a record for tracking my progress, it is also a place I can refer people to when needed.
I studied advertising for three years, followed by two years of studying film, the latter of which ultimately ended up crystallising my aim to become a Narrative Designer when I first learned of the specific role in game design. Seeking to hone my skills at my own pace and making small but significant steps in an ever-evolving business, it is my hope that this blog will help guide my efforts.
I have always held a keen interest in games, and more specifically, in their stories. Having mostly played games where their stories represent an important factor, I enjoy analysing the way they are implemented and presented. To that end, I am also publishing a series of Short Scripts here which take a jocular look at newer and older games.
