yes cost. for `Age of the Massive Dragons: Beginnings`I'm going to test this on the cheap: it's already got 'rpg elements' and 'cutscenes' etc then I've got some animators on retainer. the qa group just spent months playing the shit out of it. I take the best qa guy and a junior animator but he really wants to direct and I let them come up with the perfect playthrough for battles, then I replace the combat with this as a cutscene. maybe no one cares or plays it and I just drop it, but if some people on the internet make a website where they wish this would happen more often, I will milk them for all they're worth. for the sequel, `Dragon Star System Effect Story 2: You Will Literally Ride A Dragon In Outer Space` I have a plan in advance where I hire an extra writer (who in this perfect scenario is both awesome at writing shit and also likes video games...lol) to make sure the story is non-retarded, but otherwise I do the same fucking thing I did on the first one. by this point millions of game players are whining that I even give a shit about these choose your own fantasy adventure types, and they complain that pure story mode "isn't a real game" and "isn't hard enough to be interesting" and welp that's basically free marketing to people who don't like the first group anyway. Finally I do the exact same thing with `Revenge of the Jedi 3: Reckoning`because let's not be stupid, I'm just in this for the capital, it's not like dr me and the other good doctor ever had the first idea how to make a game anyway.

next series, though, maybe I add in some non-useless writers and see what happens.
