Diegetic Aspects
Non-Diegetic Features is a Diegetic Pattern but relates heavily to interfaces.
Interface Aspects
Non-Diegetic Features is not only a Interface Pattern because the diegesis in a game is part of its interface, but also because it is often caused by interface elements. Examples include Geospatial Game Widgets, HUD Interfaces (including some Crosshairs), Inventories, Juicy Interfaces, Modal Windows, Pie Menus, Popup Screens, Progress Indicators, Secondary Interface Screens, and Tooltips. Voice-Overs stands out as a Non-Diegetic Feature that is audial rather than visual. Modifiable Game Interfaces give players to add Non-Diegetic Features to their game as they add elements to their interfaces.
Consequences
Non-Diegetic Features challenges both the Diegetic and Thematic Consistency of games. Since Non-Diegetic Features can be noted by players, in Multiplayer Games players may discuss these and this can lead to Non-Diegetic Communication.
