New SOLO column published!
Gordon Farrell’s latest entry in SOLO, his ongoing column on single player game design at HeavenGames, has been published. Entitled “Wanted: A Good Protagonist” Gordon says he’s taking his cue from topics brought up by commentors like Elrich and Park who discuss the ins and outs of creating good stories. As Gordon says in one of his recent posts, “I want to start talking about more than just underlying theory and start getting into actual techniques for creating good stories.” In addition, Gordon has added this note: “I want to apologize for neglecting my column and readers this last month or so. I’ve been swamped writing for a new AAA game that’s going to be announced at the Leipzig GDC in August, and landing an assignment with a media company in Chicago to help turn a graphic novel into a movie and video game… all great fun but very distracting! Now I’m back!! Thanks for not giving up on me!!”
