What does a narrative designer actually do in game development?
In this devlog, Sasha Ariana, Narrative Designer at Toge Productions, shares how storytelling comes together in games, from shaping ideas in pre-production to collaborating with the team and bringing the narrative to life. She talks about how stories are built through gameplay, how different player experiences influence storytelling decisions, and how practical factors like scope, time, and budget play a role in the final result.
Watch to get a closer look at how narrative design works behind the scenes and how games create stories that players can truly experience.
