That was very interesting, Michael. The idea of writing a game book has been orbiting my head for a long time. Videos like this help vertebrate ideas. For that I thank you, sir! And talking about game books, I have to say that one of the things I like the most about Destiny Quest series is, indeed, the backdrop story arch unfolding at the begining and closing of each chapter. You feel geting closer to that final climax. And what I also love is the myriad of well fleshed out adventures that enthrall us, the readers, while we discover the world around us.... and try to find where the best loot is!!! ;D. Thanks again.
Thank you for the lovely comment! I'm glad some of my rambling makes sense and is useful. I feel the idea of a story arch and building tension can often get lost in a lot of gamebooks but I feel - even though the narrative branches and we offer choices - there is still room to build a solid and rewarding narrative.
