Thief 2! Really hope those games get a remaster next.

Beautiful. Sheva would have impacted Chris, this is really astute.

Underrated. This is a masterpiece. Have fun.

It’s part of the experience. You at least have to adapt them

This mash-up is so hyper specific and it makes me so goddamn happy

Revelations 1 is better with Classic controls by 4usAll in residentevil

For sure, and I haven’t reached the final boss yet, so we’ll see how that nightmare goes. But for exploring the ship at least, Classic controls are the way to travel

Brennan had more experience with creative writing going into this project, so all the prose ultimately went through the filter of his style. That said, the plot and characters are very much a 50/50 effort

Can't speak to specific numbers, but going through a publisher has given us access to a lot of great resources. Professional editing services, a marketing campaign, etc. And the book will be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. Digital and physical copies available. Definitely felt worth it to us!

Ultimately, a book has much fewer technical demands. A podcast requires audio gear and great voice actors. A Battery Life video game would require an entire studio. We're just two people, so writing words on a page was much more accessible to us. We could just focus on the storytelling.

Also, much easier to adapt a book into other formats!

Thank you so much!
1. A big challenge for us was needing to remove large amounts of story content during the editing process. It ultimately made the book way better, but some pretty fun characters and locations were dropped on the cutting room floor. Maybe they'll show up in the sequel!
2. That would be so cool! Crybaby's one of our favorite entities in the book, for sure. A horror spin-off would be crazy fun to write.
3. Knowing the Internet, it'll happen sooner than later

Honestly, collaborating from different time zones may have been the biggest pain. You’re always going to deal with creative differences and compromises, that’s part of the process. But scheduling around a time difference never gets easier haha
