Interloper

Alpha 0.3
Alpha 3 starts over again - from the beginning, and ends at the end of the first night.

I had a proper look, and a good think, about the story and I feel like I’m finally telling the story I wanted to tell. Readers of the very first alpha 1, will feel at home in this story, while the weaker sides of that version are mostly gone. I’ve carefully tried to make sure the interactions make sense, and feel real. Not everything is completely “realistic”, but sometimes realism is not actually the most interesting choice.

 

MUSIC AND VIBE

I’ve carefully tried to make some music that tells the story I want to tell.

I’ve tried my best, to make sure it isn’t overpowering, or used too much.

Music is what I’m best at, where I can really try to express the things that seem inexpressible.

If you read Interloper, I would be thankful if you have the audio enabled.

It’s half the story, because it tells a part of the story that words can’t properly convey.

 

I’ve taken care to make Sam feel real. In any story or film, I think that’s what has the potential for transcendence. At the end of the day, the only thing we really have is the world inside of us. What we feel. In that way, it kind of does become real, if it is impactful enough.

THE MC, THE RELATIONSHIP AND CHOICES

I’m trying to strike a balance between not putting words into the reader’s mouth, while still not painting the MC as a one-dimensional piece of cardboard. He still has a defined personality, but some things will be left up to the reader, by filling in the blanks, and through choices. These choices almost always matter. Some choices will cascade more or less subtly throughout the story in some way.

Some paths will seemingly converge, and while they essentially do, there will be differences depending on the choice. This is tracked by an automated ledger of sorts, so no choice and it’s consequences are ever lost. I am telling one story, not ten. So for the most part it changes a little, not completely. But let’s see.

 

Do not expect perfection. Expect something interesting and unique.
