| An example of a licensed 'Choose you own adventure' |
Just a quick one:
I was reading the Live Feed from yesterday's Dark Horse: Video Games and Comics talk at C2E2 and one line from Dave Marshall (Darkhorse Editor) really jumped out at me:
The technology isn't quite there for everything we want to do. We would like to do branching narratives like BioWare does in a comic but we aren't quite there yet.
The difference here would be within a digital comic format, you tap a choice on screen and it take you to the next page (you can't turn back if you don't like it). I would definitely like to see some branching narrative comic books - especially from Dark Horse, who hold the Star Wars license. For anyone who hasn't played on Knights of the Old Republic or Jade Empire (for shame!), then a branching narrative is just what it sounds like - a narrative that branches off in different directions depending on decisions that the player makes. In the case of text, this reminded me of the old 'Choose your own adventure...' books that I used to read as a kid. Along with these you would sometimes get a dice throw to turn to a certain page and sometimes you would have to make a choice about which page to turn to (To kill the troll turn to p120; to trick him turn to p70).
Get on it Dark Horse!
I guess it wasn't that quick.
