Hey everyone,

Finishing up the graphic novel script this week, starting to think about the new lo-fi sci-fi movie we'll be shooting in '09... going to get more people involved earlier in the process than we did with Infest Wisely, so reply to this if you'd like to hear more!

Here's the latest from the No Media Kings blog...

Xmas Comes Early (Games)

And you don’t even have to unwrap the latest games produced by my Artsy Games Incubator project. Just download them! There’s a point-and-click adventure set on Toronto’s Queen St. West, a pixelly Lovecraftian game with audio drama, a sharply designed underwater gold quest, an architectural preservation simulation game, & one by me and Susan where you play a plastic bag out to asphyxiate seagulls. Check out the screenshots here.

The response to the project has been terrific, with people who want to make games in future Rounds, people who are looking to start groups in their cities, and industry coverage of our Artcade event, so we’re expanding a bit. To apply to participate check this out!

The New Post-Rapture Graphic Novel (Books)

I’m 2/3rds (AKA 66.6%) of the way through writing the graphic novel follow-up to Therefore Repent!, so I thought I’d post some of the amazing sample pages by the new artist, Shannon Gerard.

I don’t want to give away too many details, but it’s set in Detroit, involves one of the Four Horsemen, and the first 22 pages should be debuting at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival in May 2009.

Everybody Dies Takes Bronze at IFComp (Games)

My new text adventure videogame, Everybody Dies, was just voted third out of 35 entries at the annual Interactive Fiction Competition!

It starts with a metalhead, Graham, realizing that throwing that shopping cart over the bridge was not the great idea he thought it was. Even if it did get him out of washroom duty at Cost Cutters.

Play it online or read on for the wicked cover art, my thank-you speech, and more download options.

Thanks for reading... trying something new with the html massmail, feedback appreciated!

Jim
