Interactive Gaming - A Case for Visual Novels

In a game we're often forced to pick between wishing whether it had a better narrative or better gameplay. But you know what, why not just settle for a game that is purely narrative, forget gameplay or keep it to a minimalist aspect, you can always just enjoy a game that's mostly to entirely story.

Guide to Competitive Software Demonstrations

Firstly, know that your software – a mobile or desktop app, a website or an API – will probably be overshadowed by projects more hardware-oriented, like a robot or an Internet of Things (IoT) device. The reason is simple: it looks better in a stall.

Why fandoms are important

Being a 90s girl, I'm accustomed to forming mutual bonds with people over books, TV shows, movies, music, and other forms of pop culture from that decade. To be precise, I'm a flagbearer of fandoms. However, one thing I usually notice these days especially from people who consider themselves 'not-too-mainstream' is a sort of disdain for the whole fandom culture. Those of us fanboying/fangirling are labelled as childish, frivolous, or social media attention seekers with nothing better to do.

Ruins and Refuge

“Vulture Unit 32, departure in one hour. Remain under 800 meter radius of the rendezvous point.” The comm unit in Abbey's hand buzzed with a thick layer of static. The voice of her squad leader disappeared as she shifted her attention back to the task at hand. She marked down the time in her comm unit. Remembering things had never been her forte. But remembering to brush your teeth was one thing while remembering to get back to your ship before it left you stranded in the ruins of the old world was something else entirely.

Drizzles of Hesitation

It's another dark day. It was a sunny morning but looks like somebody suddenly stole the humour from the sky. It had seemed like a great day to go out without an umbrella, I thought, waiting under this sun-shed in front of a departmental store. This is why you should always listen to moms. The thundering is making the dark city glow with heavenly lights for split seconds. The cool temperature and vapours of

Dhaka: the role-playing game

Many moons ago, before chaos had sprung upon the land, there was peace. Hundred years of prosperity till that fateful day. The winds of fury had risen long before, but it wasn't till the fat lady was breathing down his neck that Tazrian would take matters into his own hands, thus giving birth to the legend whose story would echo through the ages. The descendants he would never have would be proud.

ONLY TRUE FRIEND

Depression is the only true friend. I have finally come to embrace it. I truly would rather be eternally depressed instead of being caged by the fallacies of affiliation. I am not understood just like everyone else, but I refuse to live in denial. I am not a happy person just like many others and I refuse to be in denial.

Batman villains as annoying friends

One of the many things that made Batman so popular are the intriguing, infuriating and sometimes questionable villains who make the lives of Batman and the residents of Gotham so miserable. Today, these villains are no longer confined to the pages of comic books. You can see them everywhere now, from t-shirts to billboards to movie screens, and sometimes, in your very own friends.
