Details

AXIOME 416 was developed as a narrative open world. We wanted to give the player the freedom to wander around the military camp, interacting with its world to advance the story, discovering, exploring, and seeing. The creative process began by agreeing with the GMs on the intentions, the world, and the characters, we prepared the outline together and then divided up the tasks. I was in charge of world-building, writing dialogue, designing quests, and using narrative tools. I built the game map on Illustrator with the different locations, connections, lore, and the graphic brief for the artists (page 7/10 of the presentation document). Furthermore, I created a database that the whole team had to refer to for information on G. Sheets, including locations, characters, items, quests, and lots of other world-building details. This database was very useful for the artists to have all the information they needed for their work and also served as a progress tracker for the tasks in hand.

For the dialogues, I used the collaborative tool Miro, which enabled my team to monitor progress for integration into the engine and for proofreading. I used the database and the narrative tools in place to build a dialogue that was relevant to the world.
