Visual storytelling in Digital games : Virtual game environments and the stories that they tell (English)
Abstract [sv]

I kandidatarbetet granskar vi hur berättande i digitala spel kan ske genom enbart visuella medel, varav text är exkluderat. Syftet med denna artikel är att utforska och skapa en förståelse för hur olika berättarverktyg kan inverka på hur spelaren upplever, tolkar och sammansätter ett narrativ baserat på sin omgivning. För att en undersökning skulle kunna ske utformade vi två gestaltningar i form av spelmiljöer där vi använde oss av olika metoder för berättande i varierande grad. Speltester utfördes med hjälp av medietekniska studenter från olika inriktningar vilket resultaten sammanställdes från, och reflekterades kring effekten de utvalda berättarverktygen haft.

Abstract [en]

In this bachelor thesis we examine how narration in a digital game can be accomplished through visual means exclusively, written text excluded. The purpose of this article is an exploration in understanding of how different tools for narration can affect how the player experience, interpret and compile a narrative based on their surroundings. The analysis was made possible through the formation of two game environments, to which we applied different methods of narration to varying degrees. Game tests were performed with the help of undergraduates in media technology from different fields, where of the results were compiled from and we reflect upon the effect our chosen narrative tools had.
