#Multimedia Formats

We really gotta stop referring to every form of media as "content" what a despicable word.

you mentioned a comic game and im curious as to how that works and would be done

the format is webcomic-y because it’s infinite(ish) vertical scroll of various panels. the panels are a mix of illustrations, comic pages, dialogue boxes, choice boxes, blocks of prose, audio players, and possibly videos! similar vibes to scrolling through a tumblr, lol. here’s a format prototype i made ft my other oc, as practice to start learning twine and css.

the gameplay will be mostly visual-novel-style dialogue/action choices, possibly along with an inventory, stats, and/or a little map (probably not a full walkaround map, but more along the lines of the super mario level select map). and the plot will be overall linear, working towards one consistent ending, but with options in the paths you take to get there, like isat.

i have an innovative mechanic in mind that will reduce the problem that frustrates me most when i play visual novels, with excellent ludonarrative harmony... but i'm not telling the internet about it till i actually make the game, lol. and i haven't worked on it since lockdown, so i'm thinking it'll probably be 4-12 years till i have the time and energy to get back to it and then who knows how long it'll take to actually make. but! some day!!

There was an interesting mystery story involving red string

Red Thread..... That one still has a special place in my heart even though it kind of ended up in the realm of perpetually unfinished. It put me onto a more varied form of storytelling that I now really enjoy. I'm glad you found it memorable too 💙💙💙

whether ppl found the walten files scary or not i think ppl generally agree its been rly successful as an actual narrative so far. 'YOU CRASHED THE CAR! YOU KILLED THEM!' is still haunting years later

There are so many really fun and interesting ways to tell a story nowadays that honestly I’m unsure what the best way to tell Fairies of Limbo is.

Did u go to university? I’m curious what your major was/would be :3

Yuppers, I did a uni course but the classes themselves were actually in a college building and format. It was a new experimental thing at the time where Nottingham Trent Uni were accrediting it and instead of really informal lecture structures, it was taught like a usual 30 class, multi module academic year.

The real charm of the course was just about every tutor was still an active freelancer or owner of a business relating to radio, web design, graphic design etc. - the course was simply named Multimedia ha

Year 1, we did a module on each topic. Year 2 we trim those down, then Year 3 we focused solely on one (or two if they complemented one another well). I zero'ed in on Radio Presenting and web design. I'd already been doing online radio on Habbo fansites then towards the end of my first year I finally joined Trent Uni's student station Fly FM. I somehow nabbed Best Newcomer at the national Student Radio Awards with only one term under my belt. That really elevated my passion for that industry and I went on to get nominated for Best Male Presenter in subsequent years.

Then I graduated, knew I wasn't passionate about web design but had to be an adult and 'get a real job', self sabotaged or ghosted some interviews in protest looking back on it LOL then I landed a gig in radio quite quickly doing evenings Mon - Thurs. Met yogs some time later and they offered me a room in the office. I was undecided, but when I got home from Bristol, the literal next day the station told me they were making cuts and I was axed in that. Threw all my energies in to it and still going to this day

Bit of a sporadic journey but each branch of media I studied and honed means I'm so self sufficient as a creator (sometimes to a fault, I know I should delegate more)

Before uni I did join a course which promised game design elements alongside web design etc. and it was super disappointing. We used Visual Basic *shudder* to make Guess Who and that was the extent of it lol - I did toy with the idea of going to Demontfort uni because that had a legit full fledged game course which was very unique at the time, but radio took a hold of my interest in that period keeping me closer to home
