I am covering EVERY First Person Shooter EVER made in Japan.

From 1985 to 2025, that's over 40 years and 70 games of gaming history.

I do each panel in Paint / stick figures in a notebook, even though I can't draw. I assumed this is control freak behavior, but so far every artist I've worked with said that these were super helpful.

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?
