To ensure consistent storytelling, I would create a detailed story bible and define key narrative arcs across levels. Collaborating closely with the design team and conducting regular narrative reviews helps maintain coherence. I would also use narrative tools to track story elements and establish feedback loops for early identification of inconsistencies. Finally, thorough playtesting ensures the story flows smoothly and remains engaging throughout the game.

To ensure consistent storytelling across different levels, start by crafting a clear narrative blueprint that outlines key plot points, character arcs, and themes. Think of it like a game map: if you know where you're going, you won’t lose your way! Engage your team regularly to align on story elements and tone. Use visual aids, like storyboards, to keep everyone on the same page. Regular check-ins can help address any inconsistencies before they become major plot holes. Remember, cohesive storytelling keeps players invested and eager to see what happens next!

Every good narrative starts with the creation of bonds and emotions, whether through the main character or secondary characters. Once we manage to evoke some feeling related to something within the game's universe (anger at a foolish character, indignation, a desire for revenge, compassion, any emotion), this can be explored within the narrative, allowing us to guide the player's feelings, evoking emotions and immersing them in the game world. A story with twists and turns is always welcome, making the player experience conflicting feelings about characters and themes. I could spend hours writing strategies if space allowed.
