Ensure the project has a narrative design document covering quest structure, environmental storytelling approach, NPC behavior design, and how player choices affect narrative outcomes.Purpose
A narrative design document bridges the story bible and the systems design by defining how story is delivered through gameplay: environmental storytelling, quest structures, NPC behavior, and how player choices affect the narrative. Distinct from the GDD (which focuses on mechanics) and the story bible (which focuses on lore).
This is a Recommended document for story-driven video game projects.
