Objectives in RichCast
A great story is underpinned with clear and exciting objectives.

Be Clear
-
Make sure your player understands their objective and aims.
-
Don’t drop a player into a situation without any guidance.
-
If necessary, offer hints on what the player should be doing. A great way of doing this is using the ‘Unrecognised‘ or ‘No Response’ function in the Choice tile. If the player says something that is not recognised, offer a clue and nudge them in the right direction. Similarly, if they don’t respond in a certain amount of time, provide a subtle piece of information to help them.
​
Good Examples of Clear Objectives
-
Find clues to solve the murder.
-
Interview a character to obtain information.
-
Choose your outfit.
-
‘Quiz‘ or ‘Game Show’ formats.
-
Locate an object to progress.
​
Things To Avoid
-
Presenting the player with too many locations to explore.
-
Introducing multiple characters at once.
-
Giving the player too many choices.
-
Lengthy speech and back stories.
-
Making objectives too complicated.
-
Over complexity. Your title might be extremely impressive to look at in the RichCast Editor, but does this benefit the player?
