The Lens of Character Transformation

Powerful stories are able to change their characters. To ensure your characters are transforming in interesting ways, ask yourself these questions:

  • How does each of my characters change throughout the game?
  • How am I communicating those changes to the player? Can I communicate them more clearly, or more strongly?
  • Is there enough change?
  • Are the changes surprising or interesting?
  • Are the changes believable?
