I'm Andy and I go to the University of Washington, studying Informatics. On my spare time, I am in the Pen and Paper Gaming club, subbing foreign videos, and trying to create a visual novel. I am currently in a D&D 3.5, Star Wars, and a Shadowrun campaign, while running my own Pokemon Tabletop Adventures campaign (or a test run). As for the videos I sub, they are generally Korean, Chinese, or Japanese. Here is one of my videos:
As for the visual novel I am working on, it is very early in the development process, since school is my number one priority. I was inspired by novels like Saya no Uta, Clannad, and the Higurashi series. It always interested me how visual novels capture both the movie and novel experiences and present them in a way that is immersive.
Clannad:

Inspired by....Saya no Uta...and Higurashiiii??!?! I am frightened :P
ReplyDeleteYoutube has some interactive videos gathering popularity. What do you think about them?

Well Saya no Uta had a really good story if you look past all the 18+ stuff :P Also with Higurashi, the way the mysteries were laid out and the immersive-ness was amazing. Clannad's story was really really long, but it kept me hooked in every moment.
DeleteAs for interactive youtube videos, I have played a fighting game on youtube... it wasn't well done haha. I believe that there is a long way to go before Youtube can fully have interactive videos though there are smart people out there that can do it xD
