I’m delighted to announce that my brand-new piece of interactive fiction, Heretic Dreams, has been published on sub-Q!
It’s a fantasy game about a diviner, a mining expedition and the vengeful god that will tear everything apart.
This is the grimmest and most lethal of the games I’ve written, and I’m immensely proud of it. Have a look, I hope it’s enjoyable!
In 2015 my Twine story swept up was reprinted with minor revisions on sub-Q, the interactive fiction magazine. It was a great experience and the sub-Q team were friendly, straightforward and prompt with payment.
I was also interviewed by Kerstin Hall for the magazine, so head on over there to read about me chatting about interactive fiction, inspirations, poetry and babies!
During our teens, my now-wife and I made NPC mods for Baldur’s Gate II. Modding taught me a lot! I learned about putting work out for an audience, handling criticism, coding and scripting, interactive writing, and making friends online.
Faren Blacknall
A former adventurer of Trademeet, stuck in the cells for starting a bar brawl, Faren is going nowhere – but joining up with the PC is the perfect way to get back on the road. Easygoing, cheerful and with a nose for trouble, Faren is just right for players who want a laidback but heartfelt romance and friendship. (Dual-classed Fighter/Thief)
The Luxley Family
Sebastian, a worldly, frivolous playwright, drags his cousin Andrei, a naive monk, into the PC’s life. Afflicted by their centuries-old family curse, this pair of NPCs are in need of help – and mysteries, revelations and dilemmas ensue! (Bard/Monk)
Nathaniel Aplin-Fletcher
Nathaniel was our first project, and has the honour of being the first gay male romance in the modding community. A former guard hailing from the city of Baldur’s Gate, Nathaniel is an earnest, sincere person with a lot of feelings who wants to do the right thing. (Kensai)
