Abstract

Contemporary projects examining how to design for emergence in virtual environments have suggested very applicable and plausible design-oriented material. However, authors of such works cannot avoid influencing the experience by providing pre-written narrative material which can become trivial for the user after just a few times. This paper suggests an alternative viewpoint on the issue, by involving the user in the authoring process during the experience, such that it affects other users’ story constructions and experiences, in an attempt to solve this potential authoring issue. The study will focus on creating a practical concept, based theoretically on Ryan’s idea of productive interactivity and Jenkins’ description of emergent storytelling, in order to discuss the shortcomings and potential of this conceptual design.
