Podcast: Story Development

Post by Lavarinth »

Image
A project begins with a story. In this podcast, IskatuMesk and Lavarinth are joined by famed Life of a Marine creator Gemini to discuss the process of developing a story from the ground out and translating the environment in your story into a full on campaign. As always, tangent conversations worthy of being heard are plentiful, and the topic of choice is quickly derailed.

You got something you'd like to say? Perhaps you have a microphone...?

In addition to conflict, a good story needs characters that change and develop through said conflict. A healthy dose of irony is also important (but not the psuedo-irony of an Alanis Morissette song) for provoking thought, and natural humor (dry, dark, witty, take your pick, just don't force it or overdo it) goes a long way toward keeping interest and preventing your viewer from becoming exhausted.
