This property will not accommodate hen, stag or similar parties. Quiet hours are between and Also, there were tales of romance, betrayal, and grief from the poor dwarfs of the fortress… and all of it was rendered using characters that one could type into a text editor.

If we were somehow able to render this exact same scenario Unreal Engine 5, it would not have been a fun play through. The thought of a giant, two-headed Ettin climbing a wooden ramp into a massive treehouse would have looked odd.

Likewise, the falling branches that pile drive their way through the fortress would look ridiculous instead of being a fun sort of environmental hazard to the fort.

The same can be said about the online game Blaseball which uses an even higher level of graphical abstraction. The entire game is represented by text prompts and a few common representations of whether or not a player is on a particular base.

That being said, the game has a rich lore of murder, theft, betrayal, redemption, and literally attacking and dethroning gods. None of this would be remotely enjoyable if it were rendered in the latest MLB the Show 22 engine. If we tried to recreate this in The Show 22, it would never pack the same punch because the joy of imagining and losing ourselves in the moment would be replaced by a passive, less-satisfying representation of reality.

I am on Mastodon! The Three Canticles on this site are intended to be fully standalone stories while also serving as segments of a greater story with some underlying themes that transverse literally millennia in the same universe.

Failures are particularly interesting to think about because they are more instructive for would-be writers like myself. This most recent episode with Zel and Vitova is an example of the temptations and common pitfalls that I wish to avoid while writing Lost Noise. Prequels are especially prone to this pitfall because this can be incredibly cool.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade does this particularly well with the opening scene that shows how Indiana got his iconic hat.

Was this scene necessary to understand or advance the story of Indiana Jones? Absolutely not. The story is neat, but what it adds to the story is what makes this scene work. I feel this is precisely why this pitfall is so dangerous. It can be fun and engaging to add backstory to significant items or motifs in a story, but the scope of this must be narrow.

This is easier to do for Indiana Jones partly because Indiana Jones movies are essentially serialized stories that can be watched in whatever order you please without difficulty this website does not recognize Crystal Skull.

Conversely, this exact same thing does not work well in the Star Wars prequels. Most times, things are better left to the imagination of the audience. This is why horror films know to incorporate a Monster Delay because the persistent dread the audience gets from the idea and threat of the monster is much more meaningful than the monster itself.

In the Fortuna Saga, the Guides magic users typically able to transport people and materiel over distance are shown using giant glass balls as a way to contain a city that had fallen to the the enemy. The scene that introduces them adequately shows that they are stationed strategically around the city, the city has been at a stalemate for months, and it shows exactly how the Fortunans use them and what their vulnerabilities are.

Going into a metaphysics exposition about it would only have detracted from the story at that point. So, after saying all of that, why did I choose to include a metaphysics exposition about these glass balls over ten years after I wrote the first page with them? It also buttresses some of the larger themes and motifs of the Three Canticles.

For example, consider some of the late-story dialogue between Arlia Janet and Jazira El-Vrijer about cycles of violence, escalation, and loss. Granted, this is a little bit easier to avoid for these Canticles because the timelines are centuries apart from each other, but the risk is always present.

Sequels or prequels are fun because characters are already established and we can then move on to putting an interesting cast in a brand new situation to see what will happen. The risk here is that the universe will start to turn around these characters instead of the other way around.

Bond, the Crown needs you to be the last line of defense in this mission that will decide the fate of the free world… why? We need to set up the sequel. Ironically, a series of stories tend to get more myopic with the more time it spends in the a universe. Really compelling stories expand their universe as they go on.

While this is tougher to do, it is magical when it is done well. The Empire Strikes Back is a masterclass in expanding a universe while also staying connected and expanding established characters.

The emperor, Lando, and Yoda all have direct connections with previously established characters, yet they bring in new perspectives and depth to the universe as well. Conversely, the universe of the prequels and subsequent films and TV shows typically make the universe much smaller because most events are framed around how they directly lead to the events of the original trilogy.

In a galaxy of billions or trillions of characters, most characters we spend time with can be summed up in terms of how they are related to Darth Vader or Boba Fett.

You can find armor belonging to Cassus Fett- a famed bounty hunter. In the Star Wars universe, the Fett family have all been famous and feared bounty hunters throughout the galaxy for about as long as Stonehenge has existed on Earth.

For the Canticles, I have chosen to side-step this problem. This is intentional because I want to explore new aspects of this universe with different characters while also keeping the themes consistent.

Nyle, Balen, and Karen will play a role in this story, of course, and we will see how they change throughout the events of Lost Noise. Many prequels try to tackle this issue by showing how a character became the character we already know.

How did Anakin Skywalker become Darth Vader? These types of questions are usually dissatisfying because Anakin is simply less interesting than Darth Vader. Anakin follows a linear flight path from Chosen One to Fallen Hero. It was never a question of if he would choose the path he chose, and he is constrained by this poorly-structured narrative necessity for him to fall.

We never see any new side of Anakin. After dozens of additional hours from movies, TV shows, and cartoons expanding on the saga of Darth Vader, the throwaway line that Obi-wan said in Episode IV is sufficient. He was a good Jedi who succumbed to the temptation of the dark side and was lost.

Instead, I hope to expand on the world of Lost Noise and provide new context for why Nyle and his friends went the way that they did while hopefully building more tension about how those decisions impact and are impacted by the actions of the rest of the world.

The world of Lost Noise does not exist to stuff Nyle into a hole. The world will hopefully feel much, much bigger than that. I never do. Canto VII was one of the most fun story bits that I have worked on in my decade of making sprite comics.

That battle was something that would have been out of my reach during most of the run of Fortuna Saga and Hymns of the Apostate, but it came together in a really fun way.

I came into this episode with a lot of enthusiasm but something unexpected happened… I got sad. During this time, I would always have a few ready-to-go plans for how to kill myself.

It was something that I learned to either ignore or suppress. After I got into a serious relationship with Jessica Mora, a contributor to Fortuna Saga, got married and had a kid, those thoughts became distant memories that I associated with the stress of my childhood and then the stress of serving in the military.
