General Story Update

Happy Wednesday! My typical posting day is coming up tomorrow, so I think I'll celebrate my return to normalcy by posting for The Dragon's Jewel and for Call My Name. I'm finishing up the editing for the latter's chapter and have already dove into the next one. I'm also working on a challenge set up for me by a gamer friend of mine. We've both finished Deadly Premonition at least once and we've been comparing stats and theories for a few days now. He has asked me to explore a bunch of the relationships in the story to see what I can come up with. We've counted almost thirty different interactions that happen between sets of people, so there's a whole lot of them to explore. I've already written two of them and I have the rest of the list waiting. We'll see how many I can get through.

With that being said, I'm going to be setting my Prince of Persia oneshots aside for a little while. I have stories outlined, but I need to go back and start playing the PS3 release again to get back into the groove. I will get back to them, but its going to take a little bit of time for that to happen.

I'm kind of happy that the next game I have on my list is the Splatterhouse remake. Its due out in October, right before Halloween, and I don't have any plans to write stories for that game. True, the underlying story makes for good drama. The games themselves, however, are focused on beat 'em up play and copious amounts of gore. Unless the PS3 remake focuses more on the story (which is doubtful if you've seen any of the trailers), I'll be able to keep my focus on other stories while I work through that game.

A couple of people have asked about the other story on the bottom of my FF.Net page, the Haunting Ground one. I'm very, very slowly working on that. Its another story that flows better when I'm in the middle of the game, so I'll have to go back and play it to get the story moving again. I have the first two chapters done, but I want to be further into the story before I post it. No worries, it'll make an appearance in the future.
