New worlds. To live in

Narrative, worldbuilding and game design for original interactive experiences, built with the same technical care as the other divisions.

• Narrative and characters
• Worldbuilding
• Game design

IFG Gaming is working on a major project, the first of the division. Title, platforms and release date have not been announced yet and will be shared on this site when the project is ready to be shown.

Until then, this page describes how the division works: the method by which worlds are born, the rules of the game and the technical work behind them.

A believable world starts from a few precise questions: where are we, what rules govern it, who lives in it, and what is at stake for those who cross it. The answers give rise to places, history, cultures and conflicts that fit together, which the player discovers by exploring rather than through long explanations.

• Setting and rules of the world
• History and timeline
• Characters, factions and conflicts
• Tone, aesthetics and visual language

Game design turns the story into actions: what the player can do, which choices matter and how the game responds. Mechanics are designed together with the narrative, because a rule is convincing when it says something about the world it lives in. Every system is tried early and simplified until only what the experience needs remains.

• Actions, choices and consequences
• Progression and pacing
• Interface and readability
• Playtests and revision

IFG Gaming inherits the method of IFG Digital: start from the problem, prefer simple solutions, verify behaviour before release. For a video game this means attention to performance, smoothness, interface readability and stability, on top of visual quality.

Announcements will be published on this site. For creative collaborations, publishing or press requests, the channel is the Contact page.
