Howdy! It’s Amber with an update from the DR:TX Admin Team!
We’ve been very quiet on the blog front this summer, but that’s been because we have been working on two important things. The first and most important thing was that we allowed ourselves to take a ‘break’, and while we still were working; we let ourselves experience the relief of going slower and having no deadlines. That time is coming to an end for us and now we’re happy to show the second thing we have been working on:
Our entire season line up!
Before you eagerly scroll to get your hype up; we want to talk about some very cool things happening in Season 4!
Last year, Shan and Jonathan wrote the entire season overarc and got input from the Storytellers (our Ops Guides) on each episode, and while that method allowed us to have a successful season that completed laying the baseline of our 3.0 setting – it did not leave room for the talent of our Storytelling Senate to make new stories!
So this year, we are trying a new system and allowing the Storytellers to execute their own story overarcs. September, November, January, February, March, April, and May will all have their main plot points written and directed by our Storytellers. We believe that ownership over the monthly events will allow for better collaboration with other Storytellers and you will see even more interconnectivity and cohesion between stories you have bought into. We’re super excited about this and we hope you are too. So, if you see your pal running an episode hype them up; cause we certainly will be!
Without further ado, have some cryptic, evocative hype for Season 4 to which you will apply no suspicions at all.
Zero.
