The Inspiration A couple weeks ago, I rediscovered an old Nitrome game called Ice Breaker. It was a flash game released around 2009.

Plenty of stories will get hung up on some background information. The Lord of the Rings is famous for expositing pages after pages of lore about content that isn’t needed to understand the main plot. And because of that, the reader will get lost on what the main story is, or they could even get bored: waiting for the A plot to pick back up.
