    Your Way of Starting a Game Story?

    The Most Important Aspect of Stories

    I had a rather interesting discussion with the ChatTardis the other day, about what the most important aspect of stories were. Some people thought it was the characters - in whether you could relate to them, and whether they were likable, specifically. Others however, thought it was the...

    A short story I wrote a while ago after a long hiatus of not writing. Please, tell me what you think!     “As the night fell upon the city, a darkness brewed within me, a darkness that could only be met with… with…”   Ugh. What a horrible start for a story. I need a cigarette, I thought as I...

    Making a compelling synopsis for your game

    I've been going over how I'm going to do the synopsis for my game and am very uncertain about one area; the story.
