Learning anything new can be a daunting task, particularly a skill like game writing. Without the right approach, many of those who’d love to learn this thrilling way of telling stories can be put off before they begin.
This book takes away that daunting aspect by introducing the reader to the exciting nature of game writing in a step by step process that any person can pick up quickly.
Requiring no previous knowledge or outstanding English skills, the eager novice will learn to create interactive stories in next to no time.

An Introduction to Game Writing

Deep in the snowy valleys is the enchanting town of Neverlea, where magical things happen.
One day, a snowflake finds herself hanging from a lamp post all alone and away from all the other snowflakes. But she’s no ordinary snowflake.
A grumpy elf fed up with the cold and wishing he had stayed home rather than have gone Christmas shopping stands shivering under the lamppost where she hangs.
He’s surprised when he hears a voice suggesting he should have put on warmer clothes. When he looks up, he sees the most beautiful snowflake looking down on him and very soon their lives are changed.

Through no fault of his own, Mr. Smoozles became the star of a regular, online comic strip. Although he’d always prefer a nap, the adventures he and his friends undertook ranged widely and wildly in subject and scope.

Now, at last, these tales have been collected into high quality print form with nothing changed or removed from the original creations.

Mr. Smoozles: "No one tells me anything."

Amanda Alexander is invited to tea by the very friendly Panda in this delightfully illustrated book written in charming rhyme.
