In this Adventure Game Hotspot Podcast we have staff member Johnny Nys on the show. We discuss all things storytelling in adventure games. The specific questions that we discuss are:

What makes a good story in games and how does it differ (if at all) than books?

What are good examples of storytelling in games?

Do episodic games help or hinder storytelling?

Multiple endings: what's the allure?

Happy vs sad endings: done in games? Can you do that to the player who put in so much effort?

Stay to the end because Johnny, Jack and Joshua each choose 5 games that they would like to see turned to novels.

The adventure gaming industry serves as a perfect microcosm for the ongoing debate between ethics and the capabilities of AI-generated art assets. Beyond the hand-wringing and ethical debates, many developers are still willing to explore the possibilities of machine learning as a tool for game development. One such developer is Jussi Kemppainen of Dinosaurs Are Better, who serves as the lead designer and artist for the upcoming game, Echoes of Somewhere.

We sit down with Jussi and discuss AI in adventure games, the game itself and more. Stay to the eend because we each choose our favorite games that begin with A.
