One of the challenges I face running MoeGamer as a solo operation is coming up with things to write about each day, particularly as I prefer not to write too many news or opinion pieces. I mean, there's no shortage of games to write about… but I still need the time to actually play the games and get experience with them to write about them!
It's with this in mind that I've experimented with various ongoing feature formats over the last few years. I've had another idea that I'm planning to start experimenting with soon, particularly as I'll be wanting to devote my attention to Atelier from now on.
My idea is Genre Guides. What I'm thinking of doing here is breaking down broad categories — shooting, fighting, driving, that sort of thing — into specific subgenre, then composing an article looking at the history of that genre, providing some notable examples from my own experience and linking to relevant articles elsewhere on MoeGamer. I'll also update and expand on these pieces over time as I cover more relevant games so that they can really become a useful and/or interesting resource for people interested in exploring very specific types of game.
I may well be seeking some suggestions on specific genres soon! I've started putting together a list already but these sorts of things are always better with several perspectives. So once I think I've listed everything I want to do — each of which will correspond to one Genre Guide article — I'll share that with you lot and see if you have any further ideas.
Anyway, that's the plan for now! I'll probably kick this off next week alongside some Atelier stuff, so please look forward to it!
