Abstract
In Interactive Digital Storytelling (IDS),new design processes are needed for authors to fully embrace the emergent properties of this dynamic novel medium. As a counterpart to traditional explicit authoring in storytelling, “implicit creation” is introduced as a conceptual framework. By describing the development steps of a specific IDS application – the Killer Phrase game – and starting out with explicit methods, the conditions for adding implicit creation are discussed, which lead to suggestions for future research.
