Description

The Arcane Art of Puzzle Dependency Diagrams SPEAKER/S: Noah Falstein (The Inspiracy) DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Monday 10:35-11:00 Room 2018, West Hall TRACK / DURATION / FORMAT / AUDIENCE LEVEL: Game Narrative Summit / 25-Minute / Lecture / All GDC VAULT RECORDING: Video DESCRIPTION: The Puzzle Design Diagram was invented by Ron Gilbert at Lucasfilm Games to complete the design of Maniac Mansion. Since then, it has been refined, expanded, and remains a very useful, but heretofore, mysterious tool for those who craft interactive stories. It facilitates several counterintuitive techniques, including dependency-only diagramming and designing from the end to the beginning. This talk describes the PDD and how to use it, with examples both from classic graphic adventures and modern action/adventure titles.
