[2021] More cinematic story elements or extended works like comics/animation.

We've been talking about more ways to communicate our stories to our players. Ideally, we'd like to get it into the world itself. Lore nodes, bits of environments that have a story, NPCS on islands (maybe), and gameplay that tells a story itself. The next HG Island is a step in this direction, and we hope you like it.

I had a great time writing the latest short stories that lived on our blog. The tricky bit is trying to balance the amount of work that goes into these. Writing is low cost, but graphics are the tricky bit. Illustrations can be great. Comics are a step up from that. Cinematics are the most expensive and usually need to be outsourced. I'm going to be measuring the hits on these latest stories and coming up with more in the future. They're a lot of fun to write and I want to do more!

Let me know what you'd like to see in future short stories!
