Hey!Jack would like to take a little time to address his valuable audience. This audience (for the most part) have become accustomed to a slow burn approach in story telling with primarily one protagonist. This is a very legitimate art form and approach with its own pros and cons. What I decided to offer is different. It is a story (that is perhaps ahead of its time) with a majority focus on one character that then shares scene exposure with other characters as a cross-over event with a story arc. What I mean by cross-over is there is a jump from one independently developed game to another with some original characters thrown in as story-telling glue. When in the other game environments Jack has tried to preserve the same level of social intensity shown by the threat of rape (not something that Jack seeks out, and usually offers rescue from), violence including blood, and general differences in attitude from one game to another. This is a daunting aspiration, and Jack does not always get it right. In addition, Jack introduces parodies of real people, because…why not? If this is a cross over, why not cross over into our world as well?
Jack has found that this is off-putting for some because what Jack is doing is not understood, or simply not desired by some folk. Jack is also working in a vacuum as there is very little audience feedback that Jack can understand in terms of storytelling, graphic quality and choice of concept or shifting venue. For those who have made useful comments Jack is very grateful, and thank you!
Jack’s storytelling approach is one of placing the characters inside the story arc and then let the story take itself where it naturally wants to go. This can have the same effect as a slow burn in terms of waiting for a character to have a desired scene, but Jack is letting the story get that scene there without pushing for it. Jack also believes in telling the story a little at a time so that the events are less predictive, and allows for the exploration of ideas far less seen in this genre. Jack’s approach is not necessarily better, but it is one he is more comfortable with.
This note is being offered out of respect for the valuable members that follow this story as well as those that are not sure what to make of it.
With deepest appreciation for those that read and enjoy, Jack.
Your story is the expression of your creativity, and you should always follow what you want to do!
It's always good to listen to people, but in the end, the art is yours and should make you feel good! That's the fun of it!
There is always going to be the jackass who does not like it and do not provide any kind of constructive criticism, but I guarantee you that for each of those there are five others who enjoy your story and try to help when you ask for it!
So keep doing what you do! Daz is a great way to take our ideas off our head and share them with the world!
I look forward to see more of your story here!
See ya!
