The Witch of Xangdebaar (Story)

Transition to book project

After a long period of figuring out what to do with TWOX, I decided I felt strongly enough about it that I wanted to bring it to a complete product. I reduced the scope to something I could achieve on my own, until all I was left with was the story (too ambitious for me to adapt alone, and too dear to my heart to be reduced to a solo-dev game).

I decided nonetheless to approach the project with as much rigour as I would a story-focused game, with a long pre-production and extensive documentation.

Results of Pre-production:
