This is where the devastating Nine Lotus Cut was developed, where the Mystery of the Immovable Sword was solved, and where Grand Master Hisien ascended into a realm of pure energy.

  • Playing the Story: the Emergence of Narrative Through the Interaction Between Players, Game
    Playing the Story: The Emergence of Narrative through the Interaction between Players, Game Mechanics, and Participatory Fan Communities. by Ryan Clement A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Ryan Clement 2017 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Astrid Ennslin Professor, University of Alberta Co-supervisor(s) Karen Collins Associate Professor Neil Randall Associate Professor Internal Member(s) Andrew McMurry Associate Professor Michael MacDonald Associate Professor Internal-external Member Kristina Llewellyn Associate Professor ii AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii ABSTRACT If all games are understood as ultimately driven by the operation of their mechanics, then that operation cannot fully exist without the interaction of a player, and by extension the participatory fan community in which that player is situated. This interaction, in turn, can often produce a form of constructed reality known as emergent narrative, leading to this dissertation’s primary question: Do game mechanics inherently produce emergent narrative? Throughout this dissertation, I will argue that game mechanics produce an emergent narrative as an inherent consequence of their interaction with players and the surrounding community. In answering how emergent narrative comes out of the interaction between players, games, and ultimately the surrounding community, I will examine five key issues: player agency, the actual production of emergent narrative, narrative in non-narrative games, the role of participatory fan communities, and the potential use of emergent narrative in applied game design.
