Title: Hello.
Post by: skullmeat on September 24, 2009, 04:55:34 AM
I'm new here. I used to write and want to get back into it and so I thought that I might do that here. Particularly I've been thinking about writing a story for a game and am finding this somewhat difficult. Maybe i'm over thinking it but it seems to me that writing a story for a game is different from say writing a short story in that you have to write around a player and you are tied to particular visuals. Anyways I'll try to give well thought out opinions when i give them, and hope to contribute positively in my stay.

Writing for an RMXP game is more difficult than writing for a story because you are limited. You can say "the wind blew through her hair as the storm approached" but can you sprite the girl with flapping hair or a storm actually approaching? You have to either limit your writing or be a good game designer who can overcome said limits.

That said, welcome to RMRK, where we'll be pushing you to your limits.  :)
