Using Games to Design our Futures with Randy Lubin, part 2

“I know for me what I’m working on, especially at the beginning of creating a story I’m asking, because stories have to have escalating conflict, I ask: What is the worst thing that could happen now to my dear lovely character? And now what? What’s worse than that? And what’s worse than that? And that’s how I build my plot.”

— Beth Barany


In this episode, I continue my conversation with game designer and entrepreneur, Randy Lubin where we share resources for world-building, discuss the difference between “diegetic” and “diegesis”. Plus Randy shares tips on designing games.
