Sometimes you have to let go, you know? This goes for everything— relationships, jobs, places, and… well, writing. I really do hate leaving books half-finished but I have tried getting this book re-started for a week and I although the words are there I am not gaining momentum.

You pose a very interesting question! Storytelling in video-games is actually a lot more complicated than storytelling in books, since you have to consider gameplay (unless you just take all of the gameplay out of the game and make something like Dear Esther, but thankfully that is not the core of your question c;).

I want to take a moment to actually apologize for the last couple days of the blog. I have been wrapping up the prep for the big release that is going to come down next week, so I have not had the time to reply to as many asks as I would like to.
