I love the transition from the adrenaline-fuelled but somehow innocent danger of the dungeon to the altogether darker emotional threat of the strangely altered chat room. It's like childhood fears giving way to the more complex angst of adolescence. Brilliant stuff, guys.<br /><br />And those spooky-goth avatars are great, in fact one of the many pleasures of Cloud 109 is seeing the different guises that our heroes pull on, voluntarily or not.<br /><br />I'm curious to what extent you have mapped out an end for the story and how much you're winging it? Not asking for spoilers here btw! In my own writing, I prefer to let characters and story come together organically, with a vague sense of the ultimate goal that I'll often change along the way. But others prefer to work to a tighter story outline. Just wondered.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.com
