\"Revelations\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow, compos are a mind-trip. Fun as hell, though…<\/p>\n

When I was first writing “Revelations”, it occurred to me that maybe I was taking “Less is more” a little too far. But it seems to have buffed out and provided the effect I wanted.<\/p>\n

Using “In Media Res” is a bit cliche nowadays if used sloppily, but from my point of view, it seemed like the only way to properly conceal the ending and get the emotional effect I wanted in the player (at least in the first play-through).<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until this morning that I had second-thoughts about the twist-ending, if you can even call it that. Personally, I hate twist endings, especially since they are often completely out of left field and feel like a cheap sucker punch. Reading over “Revelations” a few times, I think there are more than enough clues to what is going on. Everything obviously should be clear after reaching the end, even the standard ending, not the extended “true” ending.<\/p>\n

Any feedback, good or bad, is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n

Thank you in advance for your cooperation…<\/p>","time":"May 27th, 2013 7:44 am","title":"Revelations \u2013 Is less more?"}
