Hello, I am one of the Alas for the Awful Sea people. I dont get on G+ as often as i should, however I’m very glad i saw this post as I’ve really enjoyed hearing what you all think on this.

My POV is pretty close to Hamish. When i have an idea for a game the question for me is, is there a game already which tells the story i want to tell? If yes i go play that game. If not i make my own game.

Importantly here i am talking about story not genre or system. As mentioned earlier, 2 pta cyberpunk games can tell stories that are completely different!

But yeah like many of you i make games because it is a stupid and wonderful compulsion that keeps me up at night. And also like many of you Feb has been too amazing and I’m already broke 🙂
