So that’s kinda where I’m coming from. Yeah, it means that sometimes Frayed Knights feels a little like those old adventure games from Legend Entertainment back in the late 80s and early 90s, where the pictures were a supplement to the old-school text. I’m not taking it quite that far, but yeah – it’s going to be text heavy. There are a lot of things implied that you won’t see. Big, cool events may be hidden behind a cloud of particle effects. The characters may talk about things they see, smell, taste, touch, or hear that the player does not. People will talk about other people and places that the player will never see. That’s just the way it is.
It's going to be text-heavy? Bad idea Jay, most gamers can't even read. Should have done some boobie-cards.
