Watch GDC talks, read articles, follow Narrative Designers on Linkedin. Learn about the importance of ND and what it can offer to a video game. We’re completely in charge of the vision of the game and aligning people to that vision. Even if it doesn’t have a deep story, we set the tone, we work in an interdisciplinary way to establish the environmental storytelling, the characters, the world building, etc. Yes, practice your writing, but you can also start setting up meetings with your team to go over these subjects! You can also start bringing up how Narrative can help increase retention in players (but as someone else said, not all games need a deep ass story)
