Show Notes
Welcome to the June 2023 edition of the Digitally Uploaded podcast! As usual we've got a great show for you planned.
We start by chatting through all the big releases in June. It's dominated by one particular game, but there's a lot of other interesting stuff coming too!
Then we talk about sequels - what makes a good sequel? Should it be a direct continuation of its predecessor, or something totally different? And is it okay to reuse elements, such as the same in-game world?
Finally, we talk about narrative accessibility. With games becoming increasingly large and dense, what can and should developers do to make sure they're bringing audiences on the journey with them?
Thanks as always for tuning in, and have a great month of gaming ahead!
