"So too how a mountaineer has their safety line, a game team has their revision control system. If codes get messed up or something goes fubar, you have a RCS like a GitHub or Perforce that will help you recover NOT IF accidents happen but when IT happens especially as you start to scale up in development." Blair Leggett leads a small indie studio with his wife called One More Story Games. With over 20 plus years in the game industry, they have built their own game engine specifically for authors to create narrative games and published 7 games in the last 3 years while building the engine. Their work includes Danielle’s Inferno, Skycarver, and the upcoming Shakespeare’s Landlord.  Connect: Website https://onemorestorygames.com/Game Engine Website http://storystylus.com/Game Shakespeare's Landlord http://www.lilybard.com/Twitter @1MoreStoryGamesYoutube https://www.youtube.com/user/OneMoreStoryGamesResources:  UNSUNG HEROES OF THE GAMES INDUSTRY: TOOLS PROGRAMMERSGitHubPerforce https://www.perforce.com/Subscribe to the podcast:  ITunes | Pocket Casts |  CastBox | Other Give me a Rating &amp; Review Thank you for listening!

83: Toolsmith, Rendering Gods, and Revision Control System with Blair Leggett of One More Story Games

Jean and Blair were kind enough to chat with us about their story engine, StoryStylus. It's a great new tool for creating story games, allowing writers to jump in, use assets in the system (art, etc.) or with their own pictures, to create interactive games with choices. It's not all mystery or romance, either. They are doing some fun vampire games, Shakespeare, you name it - whatever you want to create. When we asked about the art in place, they said they have some, but it is in beta and more is coming soon. Also, animations are not currently possible. About One More Story Games: For us, the story comes first. We've been working on developing our storytelling platform with a team of gamers, geeks, storytellers (and programmers!) to work towards a community for collaborative story game creation. With StoryStylus, you'll be able to create living, breathing interactive story worlds with photographs, videos, and audio. But most importantly, people will get to experience rich narrative, make decisions that impact their experience of the story and dive deeper into the storyteller's imagination. StoryStylus is currently in open beta for storytellers. https://onemorestorygames.com Follow Jean on Twitter: @JeanLeggett __ And don't forget that the show is brought to you by the books 30-Day Author and Creative Writing Career 2 - because you all continue to purchase these books, this podcast is possible. Thank you!
