Elements of Narrative Storytelling
The more I continue developing Time Enforcers®: Episode II — Flying into the Chrono-Storm, the more I discover the subtleties of visual storytelling—and how much a graphic novel can communicate beyond the written word.

In this sequence, our team has just made it through the vortex. But even without dialogue, the characters' positioning helps tell you what is happening.

Maisie is with Nick in the back of the cockpit. Amelia is at the controls, looking back toward the others. Their placement within the panels creates an implied direction and flow to the conversation—something that would normally have to be described in prose.

Then there is the use of color. Nick’s panel deliberately shifts to black and white (because he is a character based in film noir), turning his response into a visual punchline before Amelia calls him out on it.

That little bit of levity also serves a storytelling purpose.

The team has just survived a dangerous trip through the vortex. Giving the characters a moment to breathe—and be themselves—provides a brief release of tension. Amelia then turns the conversation back toward the situation at hand: they still have much bigger things to worry about.

Amelia’s expression, her backward glance, the panel composition, the shift in color, and the dialogue all work together to move the scene forward.

That’s one of the things I’ve come to appreciate most while creating a graphic novel: the artwork doesn’t simply illustrate the story. The artwork enhances the act of telling the story.

Want to see how it all comes together?

Our current Kickstarter is still accepting Late Pledges, and all stretch goals are still active, so there’s still time to experience the full story of Episode II — Flying into the Chrono-Storm for yourself.

Building the Technology of Time Enforcers®

Looking under the hood of the Chronoton 5.13

One of the coolest parts of building the world of Time Enforcers® is creating the technology that goes along with the adventure.

Here's a closer look at one of the most important pieces of equipment issued to every agent: The Chronoton 5.13.

One of the cool parts of creating an adventure like Time Enforcers® is designing the devices and technology that become part of the world.

And few devices are more important to a Time Enforcer agent than the Chronoton.

Originally introduced in Episode One of the video game and digital comic, Time Out of Time in Feudal Japan, this enhanced version of the Chronoton, 5.13, was designed around the portrait display of handheld devices. This format provides for a larger screen display and easier access to the device’s sub-panels.

Much like the Pip-Boy in Fallout, the Chronoton serves as an essential tool for Time Enforcers agents in the field. Across the video game, comic book, and tabletop role-playing game, the Chronoton helps agents overcome challenges, access critical information, and learn more about the historical people and events they encounter on their mission.

Of course, the Chronoton has one feature the Pip-Boy doesn’t...

The Chronoton allows the holder to travel back—or forward—through time. How cool is that?

After all, when you’re a Time Enforcer Agent, knowing when you are can be just as important as knowing where you are.

Warning: For Your Eyes Only — Highly Classified
Needless to say, this technology is highly classified. Should it fall into the wrong hands, the consequences could be dire—not only for the Galactic Space-Time Consortium, but for our timeline and reality itself.

Want to join the mission?
Late Pledges for Time Enforcers®: Episode II — Flying into the Chrono-Storm are still available on Kickstarter through October 1st. Any new unlocked Stretch Goals will be honored, including the sixth Virgin Variant Cover by legendary comic book artist Keith Williams, available as a Digital Edition—or as both Digital and Print Editions with the Print option.

Building the Relationships that Reveal the Characters within a Story

Character development—especially between characters who share an ongoing relationship—is fundamental to good storytelling.

As I continue to develop Time Enforcers®, I discovered that the interplay between the serious, tough-as-nails Detective Nick O’Time and Togo, the no-nonsense pack leader, offered an opportunity to do more than inject humor into the story.

Their exchanges could reveal who these characters really are.

Nick and Togo may frustrate each other, challenge each other, and occasionally get under each other’s skin, but those moments also build a bond between them. Their personalities become clearer because of how they react to one another.

I’ve always enjoyed that kind of character dynamic in storytelling. Think of Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four, or Merry and Pippin in The Lord of the Rings.

Their interactions can be funny, contentious, or heartfelt, but ultimately they make the characters feel more human and the larger story richer.

This is also where character development becomes an important part of narrative storytelling as a learning experience.

When readers become invested in characters, they have a reason to stay with the story. They want to understand why characters make the choices they do, what happens to them next, and how the world around them influences those decisions.

That curiosity can become a bridge to learning.

As the Time Enforcers travel through time, readers experience the people, places, and events that form the fabric of history.

Their investment in the characters can spark curiosity through the adventure and encourage them to discover more about the times of our past.

And once someone wants to know more, learning becomes less about being given information and more about discovering it.

That philosophy is becoming increasingly important as we continue developing History All Around Us™. Narrative storytelling isn't simply the introduction to the learning experience.

Characters, relationships, conflict, and curiosity can help propel the learner forward and give them a reason to investigate the history behind the story.

You’ll get to see both of these relationships—and how they continue to evolve—when Time Enforcers® Episode II: Flying into the Chrono-Storm arrives in comic book form this October.

The mission may take our agents across time, but ultimately, it’s the characters, their relationships, and the choices they make along the way that give the adventure its heart.

The adventure continues this October with the comic book's print edition.
