Editing Narrative vs. Gameplay (Ludonarrative) (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Ludology''' — The "Study of Games" as "Systems" of "Rules" and "Mechanics."
* '''Narratology''' — The "Study of Stories" and their "Structure" (Borrowed from 'Literature' and 'Cinema').
* '''Ludonarrative Dissonance''' — A term coined by Clint Hocking to describe a "Conflict" between a game's "Story" and its "Gameplay" (e.g. 'A hero who saves the world in cutscenes but loots corpses in gameplay').
* '''Ludonarrative Harmony''' — When "Gameplay" and "Story" "Support" each other (e.g. 'In a survival game, you feel hungry in the story and must find food in the mechanics').
* '''Environmental Storytelling''' — "Telling a Story" through the "Design" of the "World" (e.g., 'A skeleton holding a letter,' 'Blood on a wall,' 'A messy room') rather than through 'Dialogue.'
* '''Emergent Narrative''' — A "Story" that "Happens" during play that was "Not Written" by a designer (e.g., 'The story of how you barely escaped a dragon with 1 HP').
* '''Branching Narrative''' — A "Story Structure" where the player makes "Choices" that "Change" the "Ending" or the "Path."
* '''Cutscene''' (Cinematic) — A "Non-Interactive" sequence in a game used to "Advance the Plot" (The 'Movies' inside the game).
* '''Procedural Narrative''' — A "Story" "Generated by an Algorithm" (see Article 156) based on player actions.
* '''Flavor Text''' — "Short Descriptions" on items or in menus that "Add Lore" without "Changing Mechanics."
