You know, some of the most interesting proposals people have given about how one could tackle the PASSENGERS fix it I wrote has been in developing it as a video game.  Which is not a medium I am well familiar with (I suck at video games guys.  Truly.  This is not an exaggeration) and so hadn’t considered as a story-telling format.  But the minute it was proposed it seemed like the most effective route to tell a story like this.

And I just want to say that: iamnoonewhoareyouiamnoonewhoareyou.tumblr.com made what I thought was a really novel suggestion in that one person must play as Protagonist. Eventually die. And then hand off their game history to another player so that Player 2 can continue the narrative.

There’s a creative writing group exercise wherein a person puts down an line in a story and then passes it on to the next person to add to it.  And it sort of reminds me of that.

And as I am so poorly acquainted with video games I don’t know if anyone’s done a thing like that.  But it is a really interesting idea in encouraging collaborative gameplay.  And I wanted to share.

Part of why I decided to put the post out there was to see how others would add on to.

I’m really awe-struck.

You’re all a clever bunch.
