054: Blending Story and Gameplay (Yakuza: Like a Dragon)

Game:

• Brief comparison to The Legend of Dragoon
• Blending Narrative and Gameplay
• Job System
• Character Personalities
• Summons
• Adding flavor to classic mechanics
• Like a Dragon combat vs standard Yakuza combat

Develop:

• The purpose and weight of a story
• The purpose and weight of gameplay
• Is this immersion?
• My development:
  • A major test drive of indie game dev
  • Godot is amazing
  • TileMap, Terrain, Animator
  • Still have a lot to learn

Repeat:

• Does your gameplay have any connection to your narrative, or your characters?
• What is the most compelling part of your game?
• What would you like to be the most compelling part?

Tip:

• Comparison is not strictly necessary to learn from something. Do not compare yourself to others excessively.
