Summary
Now, narrative design does feature some writing as a narrative content designer.
A narrative systems designer, by and large, does not touch the writing.
These designers wrangle dialogue systems, design and test early days tools, and make code to cue scripted scenes.
The narrative designer has to make the game tell the story.
Depending on how companies set themselves up, or the size of the team, game designers can end up doing a lot of narrative work.
You have to be savvy with narrative to understand wider game design too.
Why is it not game design? Narrative design touches mechanics, can make features and doesn't do writing in the strict sense.
