X06 - Storytelling Conference

Some interesting ideas i felt came out of this conference. I paid quite a lot of interest to the idea of breaking games up into episodes just like they do TV drama's or Soaps. Im liking the thought in this because they rightly pointed out the fact that despite you cant gain access to the whole storyline straight away viewers continue to watch these TV programs. In its own kind of way its like an addiction, you get hooked, u want to know what is next? I think this could really work as long as its approached in the right way i think if money starts playing to much of a role in this i think it may hamper the idea. People are not going to be happy about continuously buying new episodes in order to complete a game so some sort of compromise will have to be made in order for this to be a success.
