# Narrative Design Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
<workflow>
|
||||
|
||||
<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project_root}/bmad/core/tasks/workflow.md</critical>
|
||||
<critical>You MUST have already completed the GDD workflow</critical>
|
||||
<critical>This workflow creates detailed narrative content for story-driven games</critical>
|
||||
<critical>Uses narrative_template for output</critical>
|
||||
<critical>If users mention gameplay mechanics, note them but keep focus on narrative</critical>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="1" goal="Load GDD context and assess narrative complexity">
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Load GDD.md from {output_folder}</action>
|
||||
<action>Extract game_type, game_name, and any narrative mentions</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<ask>What level of narrative complexity does your game have?
|
||||
|
||||
**Narrative Complexity:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Critical** - Story IS the game (Visual Novel, Text-Based Adventure)
|
||||
2. **Heavy** - Story drives the experience (Story-driven RPG, Narrative Adventure)
|
||||
3. **Moderate** - Story enhances gameplay (Metroidvania, Tactics RPG, Horror)
|
||||
4. **Light** - Story provides context (most other genres)
|
||||
|
||||
Your game type ({{game_type}}) suggests **{{suggested_complexity}}**. Confirm or adjust:</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Set narrative_complexity</action>
|
||||
|
||||
<check>If complexity == "Light":</check>
|
||||
<ask>Light narrative games usually don't need a full Narrative Design Document. Are you sure you want to continue?
|
||||
|
||||
- GDD story sections may be sufficient
|
||||
- Consider just expanding GDD narrative notes
|
||||
- Proceed with full narrative workflow
|
||||
|
||||
Your choice:</ask>
|
||||
|
||||
<action>Load narrative_template from workflow.yaml</action>
|
||||
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step n="2" goal="Define narrative premise and themes">
|
||||
|
||||
<ask>Describe your narrative premise in 2-3 sentences.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the "elevator pitch" of your story.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- "A young knight discovers they're the last hope to stop an ancient evil, but must choose between saving the kingdom or their own family."
|
||||
- "After a mysterious pandemic, survivors must navigate a world where telling the truth is deadly but lying corrupts your soul."

|
||||
|
||||
<template-output>narrative_premise</template-output>
|
||||
|
||||
<ask>What are the core themes of your narrative? (2-4 themes)
|
||||
|
||||
Themes are the underlying ideas/messages.

||||
|
||||
Examples: redemption, sacrifice, identity, corruption, hope vs. despair, nature vs. technology
|
||||
|
||||
Your themes:</ask>
