Optional Reading
Rose Van de Walle, Heidi Erwin
The unlikeliest of longtime besties (that is, a game developer and a publishing worker) take a deep dive into the intersection of their fields: INTERACTIVE FICTIONNNNN [cue 90's synth and visual effects]. We love books. We love exercising our capacity to make choices while consensually participating in a rules-based framework. It's a match made in heaven! Listen, laugh, and learn along with us as we choose paths, analyze design, and spin bizarre metanarratives of our own while exploring the ultra-charming phenomenon that is the game book format. There's nothing quite like 'em (and not just because Chooseco keeps trying to sue the socks and sneakers off of anyone who wants to write a "choose your own adventure" books).
