Game maps can also play a big hindrance on the immersion of a game world, if the player gets lost and they have to keep pausing the game and search through a huge world map on the menu screen they may lose interest as it can be a lot of information to process, one thing that can help this is unlocking the world map in stages as the player progresses as they won’t find a smaller world as daunting.
One of the most important things within a game world is the immersion that the player feels when they are playing the game. As a game designer or developer, you want the people playing your game to be in love with it and for them to feel as if they are in the game world playing the game. Some things that help the player stay immersed in the game is by having limited interruptions so they are constantly playing the game rather than stopping and starting every time they meet an NPC character for example you do not want to bore them with endless dialogue.
