I was recently introduced to a company called One More Story Games!! One More Story Games is a an start up gaming company that has a brilliant idea for an awesome gaming portal! This is a company created by a hubby and wife team. Blair was a developer at both Zynga, and EA, while his wife Jean is the “talkie” to Blair’s “techie” and oversees administration.
Not only did they start up this company but they are also avid gamers! They noticed that in recent years, the gaming industry has moved more away from in-depth stories, and is more focused on graphics. While modern games have amazing eye candy, they don't always engage us female gamers.
A lot of women gamers tend to lean towards storytelling games, or puzzle type games. One of my favourite video games to play with my hubby is the Laura Croft Series. It has the first person shooter hubby likes, but also the puzzles, and story line that I can engage in.
One More Story Games wants to bring more of that sort of thing back to the gaming world, so they created a new portal called StoryStylus. StoryStylus is hard to describe but it is sort of like a book meets a video game.
Imagine taking your favourite book and creating a game from it. Then playing that game with all your friends! You could go sit on the porch, or stand on the balcony, walk around the restaurant that is so integral to the story. What if you could talk to the main characters and get more info, or interact with them? Wouldn't that be amazing? Well that is what StoryStylus does. Not only will this be a gaming platform so you can go in and play, but if you have your own story, or a story you want to add in, you can do that too!
I am so excited about this!!! I think you all will be too! Check out this video for a walk through and information:
They have been working on this for a long time, and are very close to putting out to the world, as well as having great plans for making it more and more spectacular!
In order for it to be the best it can be they have started a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter to raise the funds to improve the art work in the game.
