I talk about what it was like working with Voice Actors in my latest update on KickStarter. I never worked with voice actors before and it’s been a very interesting experience working with them so closely, and really helping them along in realizing my vision, but at the same time picking up on their strengths and appreciating what they bring to the project. :)

I talk about inspiration in storytelling - focusing of course on my own and in particular what inspired A Near Dawn:

WHAT IS THIS DARKNESS?
A Near Dawn is a charmingly devastating psychological thriller with amusing highs, gut-wrenching crashes, and mature themes.
When Seattle-based attorney Sam Nichols, a victim to some disturbing psychological difficulties, takes an important new case, he finds himself exposed to progressively dire circumstances that threaten to unravel his reality and destroy those closest to him. With his mentor's firm on the brink of collapse, Sam will have to take on a ruthless multinational corporation being protected by some of the vilest people you could imagine. The odds already seem slim, but you will soon learn that things were never as they appeared - as an even deeper conspiracy begins to emerge. Where will you find yourself if you keep untangling the threads to this mystery? You must be brave to uncover the truth!
A Near Dawn is greatly inspired by traditional Point & Click Adventure games, and inherits some of their wit, humor, and even interface on top of a Visual Novel platform, compelling you to navigate both the internal and external darkness that threatens to consume our protagonist yourself.
This is a Visual Novel Adventure with Point & Click elements, featuring:
The plot will not progress without you, you are in control of the main character's actions at every turn. You will explore your environment and speak to other characters to learn about what is happening and what must be done. A key concept of this game was to give as much freedom and put as much detail into the content of the story as could be managed, as such you will have the option to skip important elements of the game not necessary for advancing the main plot if your character chooses to ignore them or fails to explore them. At the same time, you will not be able to move forward without resolving issues necessary for advancing the story along.

Put A Sock In It! is the first release from Far-off Daydream Games. It is an outrageously silly choose-your-own-adventure game that features about 90 Endings and 30 Life Lessons you will help the characters learn.
What would you do if you were trapped someplace all alone? Put A Sock In It! dares ask the question: How far would you go in the name of entertaining yourself?
Serena
"This isn't even the worst place I've been locked in.
* sigh * We don't think about that, Serena."
With all her coworkers gone for the weekend, no way of contacting the outside world, and no hint of rescue in sight, Serena will discover that maybe, just maybe, her best friend is actually herself. And these puppets she just made from her socks...
Having locked herself in a stairwell, Serena is quickly beginning to run out of distractions. Thankfully, she has two colorful socks and a penchant for amusing herself. To pass the time she will weave short, humorous skits between characters of your choice in this choose-your-own-adventure, with storylines ranging from romantic melodrama between princess and stable boy to violent quarrels with an evil wizard or spooky ghost.
