Here are two more stories I wrote for Phoenix Point.
- Semper Fidelis. An ex-marine finds himself reenacting history in Antarctica.
- The Second Step. A journalist interviews two radical scientists in Moscow while the world teeters on the brink of catastrophe.
Someone commented to me on the amount of effort going into these stories, given that they’re essentially just background material for a game, and as such will probably never get the amount of attention that a “proper” short story can get. And… yeah, that’s probably true. But!
- I believe in always producing high-quality work. Even the tiniest bit of filler should be as good as you can make it.
- This is Phoenix Point! A new X-COM-style game by Julian freaking Gollop. If it goes well, it’ll be a piece of history. Even if no-one pays any attention, every bit of it should be great.
Anyway, the crowdfunding campaign is almost over, but if you still want to pledge, you can do so here.
