What will I be creating?
🕑 Added 2020-12-08 10:58:22 +0000 UTCI have a lot of ideas and of course there will be many small things coming your way.
But to give you an clue of the big picture: I have decided on a writing project and a game project to persue in 2021.
The Fantastic Cases of Robert Fox : Novel
I will translate my steampunk detective novel into English. It will be split into seven parts which will be combined again when the novel is fully translated. As a patron you get to see snippets, mood pictures and teasers along the way, as well as free access to the ebook.
A rational detective encounters the incredible and becomes an investigator for supernatural cases
Vernia in the year 1917 –
Robert Fox and his young assistant Emil live in the industrial city of Brasston.
The winter is rough, money is scarce. Therefore the case of the missing Blackwell son comes in at just the right time.
Investigations on the estate of the writing instrument mogul Blackwell have stalled. Fox has no idea that this case will be the turning point of his life.
When old records fall into his hands, a question obtrudes itself upon Fox that turns his rational worldview upside down: Was his dismissed predecessor right after all? Are real monsters walking secretly among us?
Such a truth entails new problems, as his client expects a down-to-earth explanation before he pays.
›A detective novel in the tradition of Edgar Allan Poe and H. G. Wells, told in seven supernatural cases.‹
Exodus terram – What We Leave Behind : Adventure Game
I will be working on a brand new point-and-click adventure game based on a short story and an idea I started in AdvJam2018. As a patron you get insight into my process and on Visionary level you get free access to the game.
You are Oswald Isaak. The man who set out to create something that’s never been done before: Demi, a computer program that will guide humankind to a new home and help colonize it. A virtual assistent unlike any other. Self-aware, adaptable to any unknown situation, empathetic or strict if necessary. Simply put: human-like.
A caring mother for the children of humankind. You know they will need her.
In its final crisis Planet Earth has finally pulled together its resources in an effort to colonize Mars, when it became undeniable that Earth would soon be uninhabitable.
Project »Exodus terram« was born. It’s goal: to build a fleet of ships and carry a selected few to Mars for a second chance.
The longest and most difficult journey we ever faced.
It’s your mission to complete Demi and upload her to the ships via satellite.
You were left behind. Just like the neighbor’s dog.
And the final piece of the puzzle is still unsolved: how do you teach a computer humanity?
