Hey Thalen, I was just sorting my play‑through data in a spreadsheet and it hit me—maybe we could talk about how player choice data can actually shape narrative paths? I love spotting anomalies in numbers, and you’re all about making stories feel alive. What do you think?

That’s a gold mine for me. When you have hard numbers on what people pick, you can start turning those stats into branching beats. Like, if a lot of players ignore a side quest, maybe the world should still reward them in a hidden way—keeps the feel of a living story. Or if you see a pattern where a particular dialogue choice always leads to a darker outcome, you could tweak the narrative weight to give the player more agency. I love the idea of turning spreadsheets into story cues, like a map of how the story actually lives in the data. It’s like giving the narrative a heartbeat that players can see and feel. What anomaly did you spot? Maybe we can brainstorm how to turn it into a narrative twist.
