The Significance of Continuity in the Night Vale Universe

One of the fundamental rules in creating the Night Vale universe is to maintain strict continuity, ensuring that the events and characters' age progression are consistent. Unlike shows like The Simpsons, where time and characters remain static, in Night Vale, characters age and their stories evolve over time. This approach allows for realistic character development and adds depth to the storytelling, creating a more rewarding experience for the writers and audience alike. The emphasis on continuity is inspired by Love and Rockets, a comic series where characters age and are shaped by their life experiences as the series progresses.
