The cool thing about comic creators is that they tend to like comics. Which means that whoever your favorite comic creator is probably has a favorite comic. But what happens when you find the source of basically everything? And can you get past the fact that it feels so cliche because it’s the source of all of the cliche feelings?

Listen in as Allen Dunford comes by to talk about his favorite comic, which makes sense because he is a comic creator. But will this game give us an idea of why so many people love the manga? Or will it just rely on having a big sword and hoping that the cool factor there carries us through the story?

Learn such things as:

• When do you probably want to spoonfeed the story to players?
• Do games need to tell a specific story to have a good story?
• Does it matter if you get spoilers for the overall comic story?
• And so much more!

You can find Allen on Twitter @ChapsofFury. And of course there’s also the Top Hat Studios newsletter to make sure to stay on top of everything that he’s creating.
