So I decided to start my blogging career with something not as obviously related to writing, as say a book, but rather something that is a little to the side – and yet relative on this website nonetheless. That’s right, a video game.
And not just any game, but the one and only Starcraft 2, the giant of today’s PC gaming industry. The giant that sold 1,000,000 copies worldwide on its release date, and 500,000 copies the following day. The giant that marks Blizzard’s 8th super-success in a row. The giant that keeps us up at night, like mindless drones who obey the overmind.
So how the hell is this related to writing you might ask? I’ll tell you how. Starcraft’s storyline was written by a department of professional writers, who have spent little over 7 years writing it’s script. And this goes beyond the main campaign. These writers had to create an entire universe from scratch, which is an essential skill for any fantasy writer.
