triptych

I just saw the new Final Fantasy remake trailer out, which just reminds me how I only play most games for a few hours before something new comes along. I never finished the original, even though I have like 4 different copies of it.

But, it shows you how powerful storytelling is. I was reading about Humongous Entertainment was founded on letting kids have adventures and not be talked down to, but allow their creativity to blossom.

These two different sets of games illustrate how it's not about graphics or explosions, but that real storytelling can be so compelling.

It just drives home how much I need to build tools to let folks tell better and more compelling stories.
