What is your main inspiration when writing the Text Adventure?
I just always liked the idea of such a dynamic adventure that can be shared between several people. The ideas just come from all the possibilities. Whitedove was an experiment, so when I thought of something or saw something I thought would be cool in a story, I would add it in straight away. For example, the tongueless man was pretty much wortheless in terms of plot advancement, but he was a mysterious part of the lore I was creating.
Could you give me an example of the inspiration for Whitedove?
I think Matthew Reilly's Ice Station might have been a source of the idea, but I didn't really draw from it that much.
Describe the gunman in one word.
Death.
What was your favourite scene in Whitedove and why?
The gunman leaping out the window and the explosion going off moments later. I loved gunmans line when Emilia asks if they can follow him. "It would be MOST unwise."
Awesome ^^
I would like you to give out a few awards for this mission for the Spectrum members.
Smartest character
Best line
Most stupid decision
Best personality
Most helpful
oh this will be fun
Smartest Character would go to your character, you were more cautious than most people
Best line by a player would be "I dont care, just give me the money" by Martin
Most stupid decision would be shooting the grinning corpse, made by Martin.
Best personality would go to Martin, a no **** guy who doesnt think twice about shooting innocents and then robs them.
Most helpful would be you again, because you always healed the group.
Were there any times during Whitedove that frustrated you?
Indeed
Like a certain character writing their own conclusions
What do you mean?
You stabbing the syringe into the gunman, remember?
Yes, I guess that equally frustrated me as well
Have you written any other stories in the past?
Not in this way, as in, I have written several short stories but this is my first text adventure.
Cool
What is your favourite book of all time?
IT by Stephen King hands down
What's that about?
An otherworldly monster that lives beneath a town for centuries, and feeds on the fear of children. Tt is much more in depth than that of course
but you get the idea.
Final question
Is there one piece of advice you would like to give the Text Adventurers?
If you try to fight against the world, the world will fight against you.
