Seeking Insight on Narrative Consistency in Open-World Games from Game Designers

2024.11.25 17:41 Defiant-Sir-9234 Seeking Insight on Narrative Consistency in Open-World Games from Game Designers

Hi fellow developers!
I am a postgraduate design student focused in Experience Design, currently working on a research project under the direction of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Mumbai. My studies focus on player immersion in open-world video games and their narrative consistency.
Though players of open-world games have great freedom, this sometimes makes it difficult to keep a coherent story. My project seeks to investigate:

  1. How creators strike a mix between plot coherence and player agency?
  2. The techniques of design meant to reduce narrative dissonance in such games.
  3. Views on player conduct influencing narrative.
I want to get in touch with game designers, writers, and developers who have worked on open-world games or have knowledge of narrative design issues to help me understand. Should you be willing to share your experience, I would be delighted to probe a few issues via a quick survey or conversation.
Comment below, DM me, or contact me via email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). I appreciate you giving this some thought; I eagerly await learning from your experience!
Best wishes. Anshika Pundir

Hey I have been meditating for like 6 months, and the longest I have meditated for is 6 minutes. I'm stuck at 4 minutes now, any tips? My General meditation technique is to sit down and focus on nothing but my breath, moving any other thoughts to my breath. Thanks for any help

2024.11.25 17:41 CosmicDude2493 Why is pro sports popular in Las Vegas? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is this why? 👇👇👇

  1. New sports teams: The Vegas Golden Knights (hockey) and Las Vegas Raiders (football) recently moved to the city.
  2. New stadium: Allegiant Stadium is a state-of-the-art venue that hosts sports games and concerts.
  3. Sports betting: Las Vegas is known for its casinos and sports betting, which adds to the excitement of pro sports.
  4. Big events: The city hosts various sports events, like the NBA Summer League and rodeos.
These factors combined have made Las Vegas a hub for pro sports.
True or false? 🤔

2024.11.25 17:41 Chemical-Plankton420 Composition for Dummies

I took an introductory composition course a while back, because I wanted to understand how to write music as easily as I write words. We learned basic rules of harmony. Take home assignments involved harmonizing melodies and the like. I was surprised at how easy it was and it felt like a game.
The instructor was a formal postal worker and self taught composer and quite a good teacher. At one point I asked him, "don't composers simply sit down at a blank sheet of manuscript paper and put down what they hear in their heads?" He looked at me as if that was the stupidest question he'd ever heard and said, "no".
When teenage Frank Zappa was starting out, he was eager to find musicians to play his compositions so he could hear how they sounded. Can anyone offer any insight? Was he simply messing around on a piano or guitar, discovering melodies he liked, then harmonizing them? Is it fair to assume he couldn't look at stack of notes that he did not write and hear the chord in his head?
I understand that 12 tone serial composition uses each note from the Western scale once before using it again. A saw a video on Zappa's composition technique, where he was currently writing with 7 tones, and each tone he would harmonize with the remaining 6 tones. My first thought was, how could this possibly sound good. Then of course, they played the line and it sounded beautiful.
Do I have it right? Is this what composition is all about? Classical composers might seek out folk melodies and then harmonically flesh them out into a symphony. Having a good ear is important, but its a lot of gruntwork? The serial method is where composers turned to generate new ideas when they ran out of folk music? That's an oversimplification, but is that the gist of it? Is it safe to say, while not everyone can compose music that others would want to listen to, anyone can learn to compose?

2024.11.25 17:41 Own-Project4890 Sick to my stomach

Yeap currently all I do is smoking to calm myself down while trying to stay kind and free from destructive behaviours. I was humiliated by fuckers who thinks they are the kings and queens just for having 100 dollars instead of 10. I was sacrificed just for some money and fear of secrets coming out by greedy ass two faced individuals. I was bullied and called asocial for choosing not to have any "friends" because of hating superficial people who only gossips about others business and calls themselves friends while laughing on your face under the guise of fun and la la land thinking shit is funny. I was raped by 3 pig, I was drugged, poisoned, sold out. I was the target for witchcraft and curses yet I survived. My money got stolen. I was betrayed, I got cheated on, dogged around by so called friend, I was left to die, I had my struggles with family, I lost my loved ones. I was lied on and forced to look a certain way by a jealous bratty bitch. I was energy harvested by ugly fuckers who wanted to build off of others pain. I had to drop out of school while I was a fucking genius who had immense potential. I survived all of these all by myself without a single hand and some fuckers thought just because of acting nice and lovely I was a sheep on top of that some fuckers who couldnt even walk a mile in my shoes without either taking themselves out ending up in jail or becoming a ruthless piece of shit who blames their own crappy actions to their traumas has the audacity to go around saying oH sHe dOesNt hAve FriEnds wHaT a LoSeR? I could burn these people to the ground one by one with the intelligence and this anger I carry if I choose to but I'm not even lifting my finger so that I still can maintain my love and grace. Some of these fuckers really sitting there and trying to make themselves feel better by investigating and trying to dig up on dirt to put me in certain situations thinking I don't realise whats going on. Some of these men with balls who has their shit together tried to really sit there and humiliate my body (I'm sorry for not looking like a skeleton? literally in love with my curves) just to feel good about themselves even for 5 second? My pain and traumas was getting shamed where they themselves would look like little babies out there who looks for mommy for help if they were in my situation and now just because I'm trying or living life in a freezed mode I'm being looked down at? Some women really got angry at me for being able to be a free spirited woman who doesnt feel the need to please anyone like a servant?? I also got a copycat bitch who tries to reflect my signature energy while I'm rotting in bed this bitch is trying to chase clout thinking she is me I'm DONE (my ex might be building her lol) Just because I was spiritual and my feelings were strong I got hate like no other. I'm not gonna talk about racist fuckers who thinks its okay to be a racist, forgetting everyone here is human (I really doubt this) AND not having enough education to know about the difference between tan skin and being black. Despite all I never lost my love my dignity my truth and I never opened my mouth to say a single thing to these individuals shit is crazy. I still secretly send prayers and love to these people AND my enemies so that the earth and the vibrations can rise higher and really I want these people to heal this weird judgemental perspective and narcissism. I don't know what the fuck to do without losing my shit knowing also there is a hot blondie out there trying to duplicate who I am with this weird investigation shit is beyond funny.

2024.11.25 17:41 em_med8 Yet again, another fake Bulova? Bulova Military Hack

Yet again, another fake Bulova? Bulova Military Hack Previously I've been reporting those fake Bulova Lunar Pilot 43mm Moon watches on eBay and other sites that had some major flaws (non-262 khz movement is one of it). But now, those EXACT same sellers (relatively new sellers with very few feedbacks) are back selling these Bulova Military Hack watches new for a steal and it's getting hard to tell unless you compare them side by side. Can't report because no major difference. For instance, notice the red numbers on the fakes are printed. On the real are more like 3D/inked with some shine on the corners to them. And the word 'AUTOMATIC' is a little crispy and sharp on the real one. These are hard to report. But if you notice anything else please share your thoughts. Unless I'm going insane here.
I saw the beige and the other green VWI too. The VWI version caseback is a little off on the drawing print.
Anyway, it's just an FYI as 10s of these have been sold. And if you cancel, the seller will ask you for a positive feedback and keep the watch to build their profile feeds. This trick is mentioned in some of their feedbacks.

E46 330CI 2001 new life ❤️ After having been my father's for almost 15 years, I happily inherited this 2001 E46 330Ci, but the poor had lacked a bit of maintenance (actually have 230.000 km) . Following a leak on an air hose that caused misfires, I decided to discover the joys of car mechanics (I didn't know anything about it 3 weeks ago 😅). So, I changed the hoses, spark plugs, cleaned the injectors, changed the oil breather, the DISA valve (with renforced kit) and the steering vacuum pump.and the change of the hard top fabric which no longer held. After a few hassles and cuts, here it is, like new and running like clockwork.💪❤️

Help needed with small water chiller Issue: I don’t know what the problem is.
I have built a small water chiller system with LBP/MBP compressor, mini tube-fin condenser, 40 plate BPHE, with brazed and flare connections. I don’t think the system is getting enough r134a freon even after charging for a while. Any ideas?
