But yeah, I wanted to tell this “behind the scenes” story in case if there is some misunderstanding when the podcast does goes live. So, it’s possible that he cuts everything out about that or he puts in a disclaimer that it’s recorded before this reveal… It’s all fine in my book.

Yet, we came both to an agreement that it’s fine for me to reveal the series while he will see what he can do in editing. I wanted to avoid him uploading a podcast where I tell that this collab is still a secret while I fully reveal it later before he uploaded it. At the end of the recording, I teased that I was in the final planning stages of this sort of collab but I refused to reveal the subject.Īt first, he was going to be able to publish it today but sadly some editing issues popped up and he has to delay it to next week Sunday. The reason for that is because I recorded a podcast together with Alex Sigsworth about gaming music. So, a few days ago, I put out a tease that I was doing one of these collabs again. I personally advise against two or more writers taking the same game, but if you want to do it differently in your collab, I’m not stopping you… It’s your collab after all. It’s up to the organizer to choose the publish date for each & every article and which writer gets which game. This seems like a long and complicated explanation but if you take a look at the finished works, I think it paints a clear picture of the end product. My end goal is to create a group of friends that works together to create this celebration of this series. This isn’t a bad thing in my eyes, since the main idea of the retrospective is to promote other writers and celebrate a certain series and talk about personal stories and create something unique. Since not every article will talk about the development history of the series. The freedom I give to the writers means that it’s not a retrospective by definition.
The article can be a review, a personal story about the game, the development history, interesting facts about the title, comparison between original & remake… As long as it focuses on the chosen title by the content creator, it’s all fine. The only “rules” I have is that the article links back to the hub article, uses the art piece made for the collab and that it’s at least 1,000 words long.

Now, what are these articles about? Well, when I organize these collabs I always give the full freedom to the writers to write a piece to their liking. And for the readers, you might discover new content creators to follow and enjoy. The creator community comes closer together and meets the fellow creators and opens doors for future collaborations. That way, you can go to the hub article and read about your favorite game or about the game you always wanted to know about. The hub and each article are published at the same time. Each piece links back to the hub article that’s published on the organizer’s blog/channel/page. The writer publishes their piece on their own blog/channel/page… Unless they don’t have one, then the organizer looks for a place to publish it. In that case, the organizer knows how many writers are needed to at least look at the main games and how many additional writers are needed for the spin-offs.ĭepending on the amount of writers, the idea of this collab is that each writer takes as few games to write about as possible. The first thing that happens is that somebody decides on a series to take a look at and lists all the games that should be included in the collab. How does this retrospective work? Well, the idea is quite simple.
And now, it’s time for the announcement of the 5th one.
The “ Super Mario Multiverse: Compilation” is the 4th one in this style. Oh, and in 2019 the madlad Well Red Mage did another one… about, all. So, “ Tomb Raider – Writer’s Raid ” was born. So I gathered writers for a series near and dear to my heart and that’s the Tomb Raider series. That series was Final Fantasy and that was bundled in the “ Final Fantasy: A Crystal Compendium “. The year after that, in 2018, one of the writers of Zelda retrospective took on another series in the same style. I gathered several writers and I created the “ The Legend Of Zelda Retrospective – A Bloggers Journey “.
In 2017, I came up with the idea of doing a retrospective in a special way.
