New GMTK Episode - How the Nemesis System Creates Stories (Patreon)
Content
Hello!
This is the first GMTK video of 2021 - a deep dive into the Nemesis System from Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. It will be released to the masses in a couple hours.
I said in my 2020 wrap up that I wanted to work on some bigger projects in the new year, and that's exactly how I started. Playing the games, reading through all the published material, and working out the best way to describe all of this was a huge amount of work that essentially took all month.
It was a fun video to make, though! I've always been curious how the Nemesis System works and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on it now. And I learned a lot of interesting ideas and techniques that I think could be applicable to other types of systemic storytelling.
I hope you find it interesting and I'll see you soon! Patreon rewards for January will be available this weekend. Cheers for your support, as always!
