Extreme Wide Shot

Ludic View Structure framing: panorama

The frame shows the maximal spatial extent – the entire landscape, world map or system overview. Individual entities are tiny or invisible. The agent sees the game as a whole. Rarely a gameplay perspective, powerful as an opening/closing moment and a strategic planning tool.

Design question – When is “panorama (extreme wide)” the right choice for the framing dimension?

Reference example – Game examples: Flight Simulator · Civilization VI (world map zoomed out) · No Man’s Sky (planet view).
