Overview: If you do not choose what your game is about, your audience will do it for you. In this talk, the creators of Wintermoor Tactics Club make a case for using a deliberately-chosen theme to guide every aspect of a game's narrative and creative development. Wintermoor's writers use their own journey through the creation and revision of Wintermoor Tactics Club as a case study for how they identified, refined, and communicated its theme of "overcoming isolation in modern internet culture."
