Just a blog about my interactive fiction game. You can read it if you like. It may be interesting. The game itself isn't going as well as I would have hoped, but hey - we only had 3 weeks to do it!

Anyway, here we go:

Character Profiles

Mark: Mark is the engineer, driver and machinery operator on the Outpost. Saying he is solidly built would be like saying hell is 'quite warm'. You recruited him straight out of the Navy, where he piloted reconaissance vessels into the Kublar belt. Mark is always open to idle chatter, but takes work just as seriously as anyone else on the Outpost.

Mark's stint in the military has made him rigid when it comes to rank. No matter how many times you tell him not to, he insists on calling you 'Boss'. You're unsure whether he means it as a joke or not, though. His position on the Outpost is a job to him, not a lifestyle. While you get along well with him, to him you are his employer first and friend second. That doesn't mean he won't stick around if things get sticky…

Gabby: Gabby is a scientist. Her job is to assist you in your research on the core samples. Gabby's frontier lifestyle has hardened her demeanor, but you get along well with her. You may be in charge of the project on the Outpost, but Gabby is the one that makes sure everything works smoothly. She has absolutely no regard for your rank, and enjoys bossing you around at every opportunity.

You've considered the idea of a relationship with her, but you know you aren't compatible. She isn't interested, at any rate, prefering to simply work as colleagues.

I suppose I could actually upload the story itself when it's done, but it isn't particularly good.

In other news, my holidays are only a week away! Hooray! Three weeks off, then back to uni for five weeks. Then I get four months to do absolutely nothing. That'll be nice.

Danse Machina may get some work over these holidays. I'd like to get the first level done finally. Perhaps even the second…

And my other project, Fear Tactics, will be worked on whenever I get the time. Danse Machina comes first, but it makes for a nice change of pace. Besides, I like my tablet, and Fear Tactics calls for plenty of nice pictures (see banner).

Till next time!
