Personally, I'd prefer to write a number of short games than one massive
one that takes years and then I update it or something. I like thinking
up stories and prefer not to dwell forever on one. But that's me. As it
stands now I feel comfortable enough to write a short game with
atmosphere. Maybe unlike most people, I like descriptions and a
game that resembles an interactive book rather than 'if i do this, then
that, THAT happens.' Otherwise, to me, it resembles an enumeration of
possibilities routine and not fiction/ THe story is everything!

So ... I know, I talk alot, but where's the games? ;)
