The Sims & Second Nature

I am thrilled to tell you that I have an article on The Sims and narrative in the current issue of Second Nature, or as they call it, the 'International Journal of Creative Media.' It was an interesting piece to write, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

I found the article through a link on a fellow Sims author's journal.

I quite enjoyed it. It's nice to see my chosen storytelling medium get some recognition. :)

You were right about structure - the game gives me the boundaries that I need to push against. And gameplay mechanics are ripe with possibilities for plot points.

Thank you for doing your bit to bring our beloved subculture out into the mainstream.
