Recommended strategies and best practices for designing and developing games and stories on Google Assistant

Google Assistant developers Wally Brill and Jessica Dene Earley-Cha discuss strategies and best practices for creating engaging storytelling and gaming experiences on smart displays. Emphasizing the novelty of building interactive voice experiences, they highlight three key recommendations that leverage Action Builder/SDK functionality: keeping Text-To-Speech (TTS) brief to enhance user engagement, optimizing user experiences for both new and returning users by adjusting instructions accordingly, and supporting essential intents to improve user navigation and interaction within the app. These practices aim to create seamless and enjoyable experiences on Google Assistant, encouraging users to return repeatedly to these interactive games and stories. For further insights and a comprehensive set of recommendations, they direct readers to a dedicated "Lessons Learned" page, inviting developers to share their experiences and engage with the community on platforms like Reddit and Twitter.
