8Subscribe! http://bit.ly/HXyIWM
Epistory: Typing Chronicles combines the exploration of Zelda, the narration of Bastion, and the mechanics of Typing of the Dead in a beautiful origami world. This interview with Fishing Cactus' game designer David Bailly and programmer Thibaut Hanson examines Epistory's inspirations, such as Zelda, Bastion, and Typing of the Dead; how the unusual gameplay mechanic and narrative style play off each other; whether or not the game is a typing tutor in the edutainment genre; and the challenges of producing such a literary game in seven languages.
