Re: showing player progress

I've seen the at-choice affection alerts + page where you can view current stats on a Winter Wolves game. I've also seen a MoaCube game where a graphic in the corner indicates when a scene is a consequence of a choice earlier in the game. The overall gameplay affects if I like that sort of thing or ...

Re: Ways to make a "slice of life" story interesting?

I want to take a mundane scene and make it fun to read. By "mundane" I mean...activities like work and household chores. Getting ready in the morning, cooking dinner, cleaning. You might find it helpful to look up the game "The Average Everyday Adventures of Samantha Browne". It...

A line editor who'll explain the errors she finds and give you tips for how to improve, next time? A copyeditor or proofreader who's fluent in the differences between different for...
