TONY THAT IS TOO BIG A BITE.
So I was thinking the other day that all the Big Recent Video Game Titles I can name come with DLC. It seems like a foregone conclusion now that if a game has a big budget and release and all that good stuff, a few months later, it’ll get some. It’s not even limited to souped-up weapons or alternate outfits anymore, either. Games like Mass Effect and Dishonored give us entire mini plot arcs, where a different character becomes the protagonist, or your character solves a side conflict.
My question is, has anybody ever seen this happen with books? Not like that, not like paying an extra five bucks for a text file of the secret epilogue chapter or anything. But where a writer went back to a world, and told smaller stories from the same place - stories that weren’t necessary for understanding the original plot, but added color to the universe and were fun in their own right.
Because I really love my noirverse, and there are more stories I could tell in it beyond what I have planned. Inhabitants of retro-future LA whose lives have nothing to do with the murder mystery surrounding Ada & Co., or side characters that would make the story too slow and complicated if I tried to flesh them out more. The problem is I wouldn’t have enough content for them to make them quote-un-quote ~*novel length*~. They’d just be short stories.
So yeah, aside from The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner [‘cause I’m already aware of that one,] have you ever seen examples of this kind of companion content?

By the way, I started using HabitRPG over the weekend and I can’t recommend it enough
it’s beta as hell right now so there are glitches and downtime to deal with, but if you’ve done any gaming at all, it scratches that EXP/leveling itch by offering it as a reward. More importantly, it punishes you with HP loss when you don’t get shit done, and as a person who is really, really good at being complacent with myself, it’s an added level of consequence.
[Let’s see if I can adjust my sleep schedule with it. Let’s see.]

no but seriously this collection is a great introduction to one of my favorite styles of one of my favorite genres, especially since it’s recordings of stuff that you don’t hear often - there are a couple of names on here I don’t even recognize

SAUL BASS
May 8 1920 - April 25 1996To commemorate the life and work of legendary designer Saul Bass, today’s Google Doodle video draws inspiration from the graphic artists’ work in film.
Bass designed posters and opening sequences for many classic Alfred Hitchcock films including Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959)and Psycho (1960), as well as for films such as The Man with the Golden Arm (1955), The Shining (1980), Anatomy of Murder (1959) and Goodfellas (1990).
His iconic, eye-catching work still influences designers today (Hello! Man Men opening titles!) and continues to captivate modern audiences experiencing his highly original work for the first time.
