    Bro I just watched your “ writing halo” video now I’m here on the shitter in the gym wondering why you’re not more popular with how well made your videos are. Keep it up brother.

    Such a well done analysis, both this and the Halo video. Going to get around to watching your other videos now because damn you're good.

    i'm 5 minute into the video so this might be premature to say: as a dude that seeks narrative as much as gameplay i have to say that Eternal really improved on the story delivery. It was hard for me to complete DOOM (2016), i was really burnt out by the lack of narrative. (if i wanted to read a codex i'd be reading a book)

    • @NarrativeArcade

      Same! I prefer Doom Eternal too and that's the goal here: tell the narrative with gameplay because as it turns out, gameplay says a lot about character. Now it's just a matter of distilling that into an actionable dramatic arc for developers to use.

    This video, and the rest of your channel, is the based antithesis to all the soy fueled video essays out there that say a whole lot of nothing. Glad I found your channel man.

      That's one of my goals. I may be a screenwriter now, but I spend three years on construction sites across the globe as an automation technician to earn enough money for film school. I got a completely different outlook on what a story is and it is aligned with classic storytelling. Unfortunately, it doesn't vibe with the current corporate environment in the creative industry. Hence why I left my old job, and in hindsight, it's something I should've done years ago.

    Love the work man, keep it up! I just started watching your channel, and I hope you get a chance to write a story/series of your own one day! (If you haven’t already)
    (Also, no need to take my advice, but toning down the edgy jokes a smidge would make it easier to recommend your work to my artistically inclined friends!)

    UA-cams algorithm and home page has been absolute shit recently, full of videos I've never come close to being interested in no matter how many times I hit not interested
    This, however, I am interested in. Saw the halo vid first and I'm going to work my way backwards.

    • @NarrativeArcade

      There is a season 1 Playlist available if you want to watch chronologically (sometimes I reference stuff from previous vids).

      I've noticed partway through this one that the 3d character spine definition is in both of these shooter story videos, which I respect

    • @NarrativeArcade
      @NarrativeArcade  4 місяці тому

      ​@@daeamiralisthat's gonna be a constant for sure. It's just an important building block of screenwriting. But I'm finding ways how to utilize it for gameplay and how to extract it from gameplay for an adaptation. I think video game adaptations sucked for the most part because screenwriters don't realize gameplay says a lot about character.
