PLAYABLE GRAPHIC NOVEL a framework by L.inc Bringing new opportunities to gaming from the comic book industry • New means of expression • Combining story and gameplay • Effective/effortless pacing • New sales model
GAMES becomE COMICS Fully rendered photorealistic 3D comic book. Story and gameplay presented in interactive panels. Turn pages, view covers, put comics on digital bookshelf. Read, play or both! Adapt ANY game genre to the comic book form!
NEW MEANS OF EXPRESSION • Change aspect ratio of each shot • Combine animated and static images • Seamlessly mix 2D and 3D • NEVER LOSE COHESIVENESS The framework allows to add the option to 'read only', with action reduced to a comic book panel. GETTING STORY CLOSER TO GAMEPLAY • Story and action bits in adjacent panels • Fluid movement between both • Consistent style of story and gameplay • No sudden UI changes • INVISIBLE BACKGROUND LOADING • NO LOADING TIMES WHATSOEVER • INCREASED IMMERSION
EFFORTLESS & EFFECTIVE PACING Traditional game pacing • Long cutscene → long gameplay segment → long cutscene etc. • Non-interactive bits tend to overstay their welcome (extreme case: Quantum Break’s hour-long cinematics) • Long levels can also become tedious (open world games) PGN model • From action to story with a camera pan to the next panel! • Action and narration presented in small, fun bursts. • Never overstay the welcome of any part of the game.
