Creation of a narrative platform video game with decision making

Abstract

This work consists in the creation of a platform video game where the player takes an active role in the narrative development. In that sense, the player can change the attitude of other characters, their dialogues and the story depending of the conversations that he/she has, the options that he/she selects during those conversations, the characters that he/she kills and the objects that he/she gets. The game is divided in four levels and has some restricted areas which can only be accessed if we have accomplished certain requirements before. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the protagonist, a man that wants to avenge the death of his son, has to find resources to survive, as well as face competitors who also want to obtain those resources. For that reason, the levels transmit destruction and loneliness.
