-Two concrete design patterns exist to create [[Melodramatic Structures]]. [[Scenes]] allows a game to switch between [[Characters]] and therefore give more information to the player than a single [[Characters|Character]]. [[Voice-overs]] can add explanations to the events that are occurring which the players get but not the [[Characters]]. Per their definitions, [[Detective Structures]] and [[Melodramatic Structures]] are incompatible.
+Three concrete design patterns exist to create [[Melodramatic Structures]]. [[Scenes]] allows a game to switch between [[Characters]] and therefore give more information to the player than a single [[Characters|Character]]. [[Summary Updates]] can explain what happens before, between, or after [[Scenes]] so that players have the right understanding of the reasons and consequences of events in a [[Scenes|Scene]]. [[Voice-overs]] can add explanations to the events that are occurring which the players get but not the [[Characters]]. Per their definitions, [[Detective Structures]] and [[Melodramatic Structures]] are incompatible.
 [[Melodramatic Structures]] can be used in both [[Single-Player Games]] and [[Multiplayer Games]]. In fact, due to the fact that [[Multiplayer Games]] typically present different view points of the game to different players ''through'' [[Characters]] these types of games nearly always have [[Melodramatic Structures]] of sorts. This does however not in itself affect narration significantly since [[Melodramatic Structures]] often require significant shifts in perspective for individual players to have their intended effects. This typically means that they are easier to plan for in [[Single-Player Games]], e.g. by switching [[Characters]] as [[Scenes]] are changed (see [[Fahrenheit]] for an example of this).
