By I really have to agree with you that antagonists are the bad guys and heros are the good guys. So, I thought I would share a few ways to distinguish between the two.
Although a villain is a person or an organization we should despise, a hero is a person or an organization that we do not. And a villain is someone who is good, whereas a hero is someone who we are good at. In other words, an antagonist is an idiot, a villain is a sicko, and a hero is a badass.
So let’s say someone is an asshole. A villain is not the same as an asshole. So, while we can call someone an asshole, we can’t call them a villain. When we call someone an asshole we are using the word “asshole” as a noun, which is a very specific label. The person is not an asshole. An asshole is an asshole, but the person is not an asshole. A villain is someone who we despise, but we love the person.
We may call this “dumping the word asshole”, but there is a difference between putting a name to an emotion and using it as a statement. When we call someone an asshole we are saying that the person has been abusive to us. In other words, an asshole is someone who thinks that he can treat you badly. The term is used to describe a person who is in a position to hurt you.
In the game we have to put ourselves in the shoes of the person we have to destroy. To do that we have to imagine what that person is going through. We have to find the truth about him and then create a character based on what we’ve learned. We have to find the truth about him, and then kill him. When we kill a villain we are not destroying him, but we are leaving him behind as an object lesson for other players.
One of the greatest parts of the game is that you are not just killing a player, but you are killing your own character. You are not just killing him, but you are also slowly destroying his personality. His personality is like a puzzle, and you have to figure out the answers to the questions he is asking you. He is asking you to think about what it is like to be him, and how he thinks, and to imagine how life would be if he was a different person.
As a developer, you should not just be killing the player, but you should be slowly destroying his personality. Your job is as a developer is to make a real character, and a game should not just be a killing machine. It should be a compelling, relatable character that you can relate to. It should be someone who you can be friends with and who can have a meaningful conversation with you. It should be someone whose personality is not just a puzzle, but rather a game.
The distinction between an antagonist and a protagonist is important, and I think this is one of the most important concepts to understand. In the same breath, it’s also one of the most confusing. If we were talking about a character in a movie, you’d probably call them a “bad guy.” “He gets in his car and does something.” The bad guy is the person who does something, because they are the bad guys in a movie.
A bad guy is someone who is a bad guy. A protagonist is someone who does something for the good of all. But in games, the distinction is very blurred. In the same breath, its also very blurred, because the distinction is important for storytelling.
In a similar vein, the distinction between the antagonist and the protagonist is very important for storytelling. If we’re talking about a movie, youd have to call the antagonist the hero, the man who saves the day, because that’s the way the movie is written. But if we’re talking about a game, the distinction is far more blurred. The hero is a player character who is not a player, because that would be too cliche.
