until now, my approach hasn’t been to create a game around a story, but rather, to develop worldbuilding and narrative within the game system.
Thought on games with notable stories: Focus on game system first and build world and narrative within the system.
However, in a world overflowing with games, getting a slice of that pie of gamers is a difficult task. So, I figure there are about six people in the world who love everything I make, and I’ll do my best to cater my games specifically to them.
Interesting thought on making games (or any art) for a small audience of people who love your work, at least as a start point.
