I have created many Events recently, some better than others, and I find it quite fun to create and guide people on an adventure.
I’m planning to create more and better Events, and do it more actively, and though; “What could be the basic guidelines to create one?”
So, here I am now, how does one create a good Event?
1.Think about a plot and the basic story you would like to tell, and write it out. (On a notepad/word.)
This is the start of most Events. You have a story and interesting plot, so you want others to experience it.
It is important that it isnt too basic, since many have he same general story, or even improvice most of it, wich isnt smart
If you alreay know most of how it goes, you can make it flow better and more natural, and you can make a satisfying conclusion.
2.Try to make it more different than other Events.
Try to make it more different than others, it is advice against: “A portal appeared in your space.” or you have a reason it will be different than the 10 times it was done before.
So perhaps revolve it around other things that could happen in space, like a sick alien race, or mysterious planet with gold wich nobody returns from.
3.Make your story flexible.
In every Event, things could go a way you didnt expect. People who interect with your story could have other plans, and go against yours.
You should take that into account, and enticipate it. Prepare beforehand, and have atleast a small bit of story prepared.
4.Have a good title, and good introduction.
It is very important that you have a good title and introduction, that is the thing that people see first.
It should draw them towards the Event, make them interested.
5.Guide them slowly towards the plot, and where you want them to go.
It is one of the most important things as well. You want to guide them properly, let them stay interested in your plot, it will also make things flow more properly, and make sure they won't get off track.
Else they will loose interest, and your Event could stop going further.
Tips:
- When you create an Event, it is important to also finish it, else people could stop joining in the next one.
- It is okay to improvice, but keep your plot in mind when you do so.
- This one is more or a choice, but it is always nice to add images to support your Event.
This is all I could think of currently, if I forgot anything, please say so.
