INTEGRATIVE STUDIO – BRIDGE 2
the physical world in video games acts as a source of inspiration in terms of gameplay storyline for the game developers. The first games that were developed utilized the activities and events of the real world as an inspiration for the gameplay. As mentioned, the design of the video game matters the most because it attracts gamers. A video game with a simple storyline with no uniqueness does not attract many gamers. As a result, this resulted in many of the games already developed together with those currently in development to be set in fantasy and science fiction worlds. For example, one video game that is designed in a fantasy world is Dungeons & Dragons[1]. The digital world in video games has to be appealing to maintain the interest of the players. This way, the game has to follow an interesting storyline, and one way to do so is by using real-world fantasy stories. The gameplay revolves around the setting of a medieval time in the real world, but the digital world is different because the characters have abilities among other features. This way, the real-world acts as a source of inspiration for the gameplay storyline, which is why it supplements the digital world in video games.
