Designing for Non-Linear Story Discovery in Tacoma

[@Nathankinamorh]

Great game, good presentation. I like how this is a panel of the team.

Cool concept for a game. I like how they took a live theatre experience in NYC and used it to inspire their game. Very cool.

I played about a year ago and it was really interesting to explore the station and try to figure out what happened, I even liked to look for details in conversations, despite the fact that all the characters caused some kind of hostility due to their artificiality. I'm not talking about them being presented as abstract holograms, they're just flat and uninteresting as characters. In Gone Home, through the notes, we can see much deeper and more vivid images of the inhabitants of the house. I even saw some similarities with people in my real life, so Gone Home resonated more emotionally with me than Tacoma. Despite such a set of characters, the plot gradually raised the alarm around the situation at the station, but in the end it all ended in some kind of ridiculous zilch. Seriously, the whole plot is "bad corporations do bad things" and "look, good won." This is very naive, all the prerequisites led to a great tragedy in the end, but not getting what I expected, I felt disappointed. As a result, the game combines great mechanics and a terrible story. Despite this, I rather liked the game than not, and I even left a positive review on Steam. But a bad ending would have made this game a masterpiece instead of just being a normal/good game.

yikes i hate how steve keeps interrupting nina

[@ZoidbergForPresident]

@lmao lmao She's the speaker, he should refrain doing that. How you think the speaker is doing isn't in the picture. If he wanted to talk so much he should have made the whole talk himself to be honest.

[@carlos3765]

Yeah, one of the things he added as an aside was worth it, but generally not cool.

mansplaining at its worst

Chill out kids, she's obviously not distressed by it because they are clearly a pretty solid team. She's open to his interjections because she values his input and feels very comfortable with a more casual presentation. It might detract from the flow a little, but nothing devious is happening. Great talk, great speakers, love the team.

@@roflpill she was being polite. Doesn't mean she wasn't annoyed

Great presentation ruined by nerve-induced vocal frying.

[@alexscriabin]

Don't be rude. hating vocal fry or uptalk when women speak (but not when men do the same) is as sexist ad hating zero copula when black people speak (but not when Russian do the same) is racist.
