Choice of the Vampire v.1.2.0 is being released today for web/Android, and will arrive on iPhone as soon as it is approved. That said, as I’ve been working on Choice of the Vampire, I’ve realized that I have been thinking about it more as an interactive novella than a game. In particular, I’m interested the idea of dynamic storytelling. As such, I am very much interested in the feedback generated by the game, because it gives the audience the opportunity to shape the content and direction of the project; see here some ways the game has already changed. #1 Railroading:

As we discussed in an earlier post, Choice of Games has been banned from Google AdSense. In this post, I’ll discuss a few of the ideas we’ve had about how we can make money now that we’re banned. (This is the last post on AdSense we have planned; I promise!) How things stand today Choice of Games didn’t make most of its money from Google AdSense on the website (though it was a noticeable portion of our income). Most of our money came from advertising on iPhone and Android. Unfortunately, most of our mobile advertising money came from AdMob, one

This is the third blog post in a series of posts on Google AdSense. In the first post, I explained how Google has banned us from AdSense; in the second post, I wrote about our best guess as to why they banned us. In this blog post, I discuss my personal feelings about this turn of events. On the face of it, you’d think I’d be more upset with Google. Google’s AdSense appeals process seems completely ridiculous on its face, and it is. I’ve heard more than one Googler describe an AdSense appeal as a “kangaroo court.” Where else can

This is the second blog post in a series of posts about Google AdSense. In the first post, I explained how Google has banned us from AdSense; in this second post, I’ll give our best guess as to why they banned us. We can’t know for sure–as we mentioned before, Google won’t tell us (or any other banned website) why they banned us, and we have never violated the AdSense rules or encouraged anyone to violate the AdSense rules. While I was surprised that Google banned us, even though we have never violated Google’s Terms of Service, I was not
