This white paper was written by the members of the Work Group focusing on design practices of the COST Action 18230 - Interactive Narrative Design for Complexity Representation (INDCOR, WG1). It presents an overview of Interactive Digital Narratives (IDNs) design for complexity representations through IDN workflows and methodologies, IDN authoring tools and applications. It provides definitions of the central elements of the IDN alongside its best practices, designs and methods. Finally, it describes complexity as a feature of IDN, with related examples. In summary, this white paper serves as an orienting map for the field of IDN design, understanding where we are in the contemporary panorama while charting the grounds of their promising futures.

翻译：本白皮书由COST Action 18230——面向复杂性表征的交互叙事设计（INDCOR，第一工作组）中聚焦设计实践的工作组撰写。文中概述了通过交互数字叙事工作流与方法论、交互数字叙事创作工具及应用实现复杂性表征的交互数字叙事设计。它定义了交互数字叙事的核心要素，并提供了其最佳实践、设计思路与方法。最后，文章将复杂性描述为交互数字叙事的一个特征，并辅以相关实例。总之，本白皮书可作为交互数字叙事设计领域的导向图，帮助我们理解当前全景中的定位，同时为其充满前景的未来绘制蓝图。
