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行动18230（交互式叙事设计用于复杂性表征，简称INDCOR）工作组中专注于设计实践的研究成员撰写。该文通过交互式数字叙事（IDN）的工作流程与方法论、创作工具及应用，系统概述了面向复杂性表征的IDN设计研究。文中界定了IDN核心要素的定义，并梳理了其最佳实践、设计范式与方法。最后，本文以相关案例论证了复杂性作为IDN特征的特性。总之，本白皮书为IDN设计领域勾勒了一份导引性图谱，既明晰了当前研究全景中的坐标定位，又为其未来发展潜力绘制了探索疆域。
