How are romances written?


Recommended Posts

I would hope that a single person writes a single romance. As for how it is written, romance lends itself well to the classical plot structure and most people have absorbed thousands of romances from literature, movies, and television. I would assume it's based on those with whatever appropriate creative obstacles the writer can come up with.

I believe in the first KotOR, the Carth romance was created solely by David Gaider. (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.) I'm sure if there's any more than 2 people working on a character's background/romance etc it might get a bit messy.

Boy meets girl

Boy likes girl

Girl thinks boy is dangerous

Other boy steals girl

Girl is lured to the dark side

Boy and girl fight

Girl comes back the light

Boy kills other boy.

In preperation for having to write a romance, I heard Chris Avellone exhausted the local library's entire collection of soft porn.

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you

But I get the feeling that you don't like it

What's with all the screaming?

You like monkeys, you like ponies

Maybe you don't like monsters so much

Maybe I used too many monkeys

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

I can't speak for everyone on the team, but personally, everything I've put into KotOR2 so far has been based off of a very eventful weekend I had in 1996.

LOL. Good ol' Chris and his read-up for 10 months. What a dude.

 

I personally thought Bioware had set up a desk with 10 typewriters and a number of trained monkeys.

Where is your quote from?

I dunno, but he's got a Penny Arcade Avater. Yaaaaay for Penny Arcade!!! \m/ :D

Okay, now I am confused. I don't see a Penny Arcade avatar, anywhere? I just see Michael Chu and underneath it, I see Developer. No one else seems to have a Penny Arcade avatar either. I'am definitely missing something here.

May I suggest we put Chris Avellone alone in a room with a hot Swedish exchange student for a weekend, record all dialog between them, and then put it directly into the game substituting all mention of Abba" with "Jedi", Stockholm with "Tatooine" and America with "Death Star".

 

Should be about as satisfying as a Carth, Annomen or Jaehira romance, anyway.

Does this help?

I know what Penny Arcade is. I'd recognize the distinctive art style anywhere. I just don't see it anywhere. Maybe at my current user level, I am blocked from seeing developer avatars? Actually that makes no sense you're at the same user level as I am Nartwak, and you can see it. I think my browser just decided not to display it for some reason. <_<

My mistake, I thought you may not have recognized that particular picture. Sorry! :)

 

Hmm. You can see everyone else's avatar I take it?

Most are displaying. I see yours. The only one who aren't displaying are Plutospawn's, Michael Chu's, Seth Tansill's, and Jora's. Whether its because they don't have an Avatar, or it just isn't displaying correctly, I am not sure. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen any developer's avater, either.
