Ludonarrative in Video Games: A Panel Discussion

Come visit the Hugo House's Ludonarrative in Video Games panel for a discussion of what it's like to be a writer in the games industry. Discussion will range from breaking into the games industry, designing procedurally generated stories, writing for AAA games, and more.

What happens when storytelling meets gameplay?

It'll be a dynamic two-hour panel event where game developers dive deep into the powerful intersection of narrative and mechanics in modern game design.

What is Ludonarrative?

“Ludonarrative” is the point where ludic (gameplay, mechanics) meets narrative (story, character). It’s the magic that happens when storytelling and interactivity blend seamlessly. Transforming a game from simply entertaining to truly unforgettable.

What to Expect

This event features a panel of innovative game developers, each presenting a 15–20 minute showcase of their work and how they merge story and game dynamics. Complete with trailers, gameplay footage, and behind-the-scenes insights. Discover how they craft compelling stories that elevate gameplay and immerse players in unforgettable worlds.

Who Should Attend?

Whether you're a game designer, writer, developer, or simply a fan of narrative-driven games, this event is for you. Come be inspired, ask questions, and meet the minds behind the games you love.
