DM Story update

Well, I popped a few Ibuprofen and I'm feeling a little better. I should be able to do some work on Danse Machina soonish.

Well, I've been thinking about the storyline to the game, and I want to go with something more personal rather than a 'hero story' type thing.

Basically what that means is the story will focus on the protagonist Gabrielle, and her personal quest for revenge. While there will be something of a larger story, its only secondary to the plot.

More later :)

Great! I'm doing a similar style of storytelling, where the events and backstory form the background for the protagonists and antagonists. I'm actually following music theory for the plot, where there is rhythmn(pace), melody(characters) and harmony(situation/events). It is amazing how similar music theory is to literary drama. While written works have the dramatic plot structure, musical works have the crescendo.

:P I know what you mean. Everything we do is similar in form one way or another.

That sounds a little creepy, but it is probably true to some extent. Maybe that's what they mean when they say that great minds think alike (heheheh). :P

I'm going to check out the DM demo in a few moments, just to let you know. :)

Anyway, aside from you and me, who else are pre-professional (as in that they are also interested in getting into the gaming industry) or already professional and doing this as a side hobby? I guess I should also check them out.

And who in particular do you reccomend taking a look at? All your favorite users?
