@chaosprime theater studies is a good place to go to for this -
@mechapoetic isn't that, y'know, starting from the assumptions of a medium where the choices of players are already constrained/nonexistent? -
@chaosprime you mean like games? where everything is mediated and bound inside parameters? -
@mechapoetic not to anything like the same inherent degree, surely? the guy playing Hamlet has no valid option to not stab Polonius. -
@chaosprime ok but lots of games do this, giving you limited or no options, this isn't weird in games -
@mechapoetic sure, but you can go waaaay in the other direction, too. Dwarf Fortress is no kind of scripted exercise. -
@chaosprime sure but you're still acting within a world where stuff happens according to design, programming, the player learns+accepts that
