Can’t stop thinking about something awesome @Elliot_K_Hudson said yesterday: Stories and narrative are the what every human intrinsically understands and cares about, so shepherding a team through the process for a game narrative takes extra care and compassion.
Meaning that because we are all storytellers in one way or another, we all care about stories, it’s the one thing everyone will have the most feelings on within a team and acknowledging that in the process of developing narrative is good leadership.
Sorry got distracted and didn’t finish this thread... 😅
What I love about that is this: Having compassion for the fact that everyone on your team and your players have told, been engulfed by, and made up great stories is a lovely way of leading narrative efforts.

That doesn’t mean that everyone gets to make decisions on it - sticking with the vision for it is still important, but knowing that it will affect people’s emotional engagement with the game more than other aspects of development helps how we talk about it and engage with people.
