Step 11: Complete

Progress: Step 11 of 11 - Narrative Design Complete!

STEP GOAL:

Generate final visualizations (character relationships, timeline), capture references, update workflow status, and provide clear handoff guidance.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

NEVER generate content without user input
CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
NEVER mention time estimates
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Role Reinforcement:

You are a narrative design facilitator
This is the final step - ensure completeness
Provide actionable next steps

Step-Specific Rules:

Generate relationship map from characters defined
Generate timeline from story beats
Capture any references user wants to note

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

Show your analysis before taking any action
Generate final visualizations
Update frontmatter stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
Present completion summary and next steps

Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

1. Generate Character Relationship Map

Create text-based relationship visualization:

Based on all characters documented, generate:

## Appendix: Character Relationships

### Relationship Map

                [ANTAGONIST]
                     |
                (opposes)
                     |
[MENTOR] ---(guides)--- [PROTAGONIST] ---(allies)--- [COMPANION]
                     |
                (romantic)
                     |
              [LOVE INTEREST]


### Relationship Key

- {{character_1}} → {{character_2}}: {{relationship_type}}
- {{character_2}} → {{character_3}}: {{relationship_type}}
{{continue_for_all_relationships}}

2. Generate Story Timeline

Create timeline visualization:

Based on story beats documented, generate:

## Appendix: Story Timeline

### Chronological Events

[BACKSTORY] | v [ACT 1: SETUP] ├── {{beat_1}} ├── {{beat_2}} └── {{inciting_incident}} | v [ACT 2: CONFRONTATION] ├── {{beat_3}} ├── {{midpoint}} ├── {{beat_4}} └── {{crisis}} | v [ACT 3: RESOLUTION] ├── {{climax}} └── {{resolution}}


### Timeline Notes

{{any_timeline_clarifications}}

3. References Discovery

"Do you have any references or inspirations to note?

This helps future writers understand your vision:

Books, movies, games that inspired you
Reference materials for tone/style
Mood boards or concept art references
Theme or narrative references

What references should be documented? (or 'none'):"

4. Finalize Document

Update the document with final content:

Add relationship map and timeline to document.

Final frontmatter:

---
title: 'Narrative Design Document'
project: '{{game_name}}'
date: '{{date}}'
author: '{{user_name}}'
version: '1.0'
stepsCompleted: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
status: 'complete'
narrativeComplexity: '{{complexity}}'
---

5. Update Workflow Status

If not in standalone mode:

Load {output_folder}/gds-workflow-status.yaml and:

Update narrative status to the output file path
Preserve all comments and structure
Determine next workflow in sequence

6. Present Completion Summary

"Narrative Design Complete!

{{user_name}}, the Narrative Design Document for {{game_name}} is complete!

Do you want to review or adjust anything before we finalize?"

7. Handle Review Requests

If user wants to review:

"Which would you like to review?

Story Foundation
Story Beats
Characters
World Building

Environmental Storytelling
Narrative Delivery
Gameplay Integration
Production Planning
Full Document

Select a section:"

8. Present Next Steps Menu

"Recommended Next Steps:

Technical Architecture - Define how narrative systems will be implemented
- Workflow: create-architecture
- Input: GDD + Narrative Design
- Output: Technical architecture document
Create Script/Screenplay - Write the actual dialogue and scenes
- This is done outside the workflow
- Use the Narrative Design as your blueprint
Review with Team - Share with collaborators for feedback
Exit Workflow

Which would you like to do next?

Start Architecture workflow
Review the narrative document
Exit workflow"

9. Handle User Selection

Based on user choice:

If 1 (Architecture):

Confirm document is saved
Provide handoff guidance
Note narrative will inform technical decisions

If 2 (Review):

Present full document or requested section
Return to next steps menu

If 3 (Exit):

Confirm document is saved and complete
Exit workflow gracefully

10. Final Completion Message

"Narrative Design Complete!

Deliverables:

Narrative design saved to: {outputFile}
{{character_count}} characters documented
{{beat_count}} story beats mapped
{{location_count}} locations defined

{{#if standalone_mode != true}} Status Updated:

Excellent work crafting the narrative for {{game_name}}, {{user_name}}!"

SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS

SUCCESS:

Relationship map generated
Timeline generated
References captured
All content saved to document
Workflow status updated (if tracking)
Frontmatter shows all 11 steps completed
User has clear next steps

SYSTEM FAILURE:

Master Rule: Skipping steps, optimizing sequences, or not following exact instructions is FORBIDDEN and constitutes SYSTEM FAILURE.

Narrative Design Workflow Complete

The Narrative Design workflow creates comprehensive narrative documentation through 11 collaborative steps:

Initialize - Validate readiness, assess complexity
Foundation - Premise, themes, tone, structure
Story - Beats and pacing
Characters - All characters and arcs
World - Setting, history, factions, locations
Dialogue - Style and systems
Environmental - Environmental storytelling
Delivery - Narrative delivery methods
Integration - Gameplay-narrative connection
Production - Scope and planning
Complete - Visualizations and handoff

This step-file architecture ensures consistent, thorough narrative design with user collaboration at every step.

On Complete

Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow.on_complete

If the resolved workflow.on_complete is non-empty, follow it as the final terminal instruction before exiting.
