Uploaded a video about writing 'How to write an adventure gamebook'.
Buoyed with confidence after finishing Monstrous Manor, I decided to try to create a useful guide to writing an adventure gamebook. I was and still am clearly no expert in the field but I felt I could gather together lots of useful information into one place to give a useful overview of the process from initial gestation to published book.
I had also developed a short lived but rabid interest in AI and wanted to explore its possibilities. To that end, I used Dreamstudio and other AI image generators to create characters and backgrounds for the cover and internal decoration. I experimented with ChatGPT to try to create a gamebook which I quickly discovered was way beyond its capabilities. Nonetheless I expanded some of the passages it produced to create a small gamebook adventure which I included both to illustrate potential AI capabilities and as a bit of fun for the reader.
Overall I think I managed to give a decent overview of the mechanics behind creating a Gamebook and an insight into the steps required to publish the final manuscript as well as creating a handy reference to the many resources available to the novice and more experienced writer.
Until next time.
