In Response To: Re: Cody Miller: No story in my entertainment plea (Cody Miller) : I knew someone was going to ask this, and I have an answer. : What is film? Film is a series of moving images. When you make a film, your : goal is to create a compelling series of images. Notice how that doesn't : necessarily mean it has to have a story. Most films use images to tell : stories, since it's a really good medium to do that in. But you can still : have a compelling film without one. : What is a video game? A series of rules you interact with. When you make a : game, your goal is to create compelling interaction. Story is the opposite : of interaction, so the more story you have, the less compelling your : interaction. : Making a film without story does not dilute the medium's essence. Making a : game with a story does. Cody Miller: "There are no rules." Caveat: Unless Cody Miller says there are.
