Story can provide the motivation for all the various actions you perform in a game, even if the story is sometimes thin or implausible.

Compiling the ‘Perfect’ Job Application

When you apply for a job, your aim should always be to present a ‘perfect’ job application.

Comic Book History, Fascinating!

Characters: The Building Blocks of Fiction

All good fiction starts with characters. Characters are the central focus of your story; they control the plot, causing its twists and turns and ultimate resolution.
