Interactive Story

[The Junkyard Cat]

Okay okay so what was going on hold up let me see. So narrator or as it seems you guys are going with multiple narrators. Are you making it different narrator each world, or each encounter with a certain character?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

They are all vying to tell the story at the same time, interchanging for one another.

[The Junkyard Cat]

That's a funny idea. Just sitting by the camp fire as multiple people fight for who's telling the story among them.

[Philote]

Doesn't Wulf have a monopoly on all mythical creatures in NB?

Do we really want to try telling a NB story while also having to switch between different styles of writing while we are doing so?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Different styles of writing? I don't think I follow you.

[Philote]

Well if we are using multiple narrators that each have a different view on the story, comedy versus a different muse, then we would have to use different styles of writing to represent that.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Well no, see even though the narrator may change the "writing style" is the same. It's the tone that will change. Since this is a visual media how it's told doesn't differ much except for in the tone.

Besides it's not like we'll switch narrators ever two seconds...it'll be spread out.

[The Junkyard Cat]

We should totally have a character with a raspy kind of voice. Or at least the feel of it since its just writing and animating. It would be fun.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

1) doesn't really work with animation
2) we're done making characters right now. We need to focus on scripting.

[The Junkyard Cat]

Okay :T Oh that reminds me I tried to get into stick animation and have some sound effects I got from the RHG community I could send them to you if you wanted?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

sure...

[Philote]

That is what I meant when I said writing style, I just did not word it correctly.

How are you going to show this narration in the animation? Just have the muse pop up at the beginning and have their narration bubbles throughout the whole thing?

[The Junkyard Cat]

Um just wondering what's your email cause I can't attach the file from the forum.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I figured it would start with them speaking, but move to just showing the story and cutting back to the muses when they switch up......kinda like in Hercules where the muses start the story and are implied to be narrating the whole thing, but you don;t hear them talking the whole time, only at key points.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Click my icon, then click email......

[Philote]

Would they be important to the story in any ways besides telling it?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

How should I know yet? We haven't written the story yet.......

[The Junkyard Cat]

Okay sent it. Try mixing and matching sounds it totally makes a cool new sound effect :D

[Zaleramancer]

Plot time.

What's the problem?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I don't know....just seems like a hassle to have everyone trying to combine their input for this....maybe I should just write it myself and ask for thoughts on it before I animate it.
