Happy New Year, and Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Chris Airiau here, bringing you your monthly update on Flatline progress. But first!
Zine Month Projects
Three of the Warrior writers (myself included) are participating in Zine Month in February! Check out what Waco Matrixo, Molgannard Press (Scott Garriott), and 5MW Press (that's me) have coming up, :)
Cain Sun by Waco Matrixo
Players incarnate parasitic alien worms and fight for control of a single human host. Follow your secret agenda to take over your host, or die under a burning sun. Follow the launch for Cain Sun!
Worms Worms Worms! by Scott Garriott, Clive Lancaster, and Terry Herc.
A five-pamphlet pack, including Scott Garriott's adventure Right As Rain: Deliver divorce papers to a luxury orbital clinic where the staff will make your skin crawl. Literally. Follow the launch for Worms Worms Worms!
Twisting Unseen by Chris Airiau
Parlay through technoreligious factions, evade transdimensional monstrosities, and Build the Superstructure to escape this portal-twisted Jump-9 colony. Follow the launch for Twisting Unseen!
Also, how weird is it that all three of our projects have worm-things in them, eh?
Flatline Copyediting Progress
After regrouping the manuscripts, and hammering out a few editing guideline hiccups, copyediting began last Thursday, January 15th. In this short amount of time, Jordan and Jet have already completed a third of the copyediting work. Each Block is under 1200 words, so we're well on track with our project timeline.
Map Progress
Due to a little scheduling conflict due to life reasons last week, Ripley only started on the map sketches today. She was kind enough to send me over the first "ridiculously sketchy" map "doodle" for M-1: The Lighthouse. (I love how what Ripley described as "ridiculously sketchy" is leagues and leagues beyond my personal capabilities, hahaha!) The Lighthouse is an OcuSec broadcasting center and comedy club hosted by "uplifted chimp" comedian BoBo, from writer Scott Garriott.
Ripley says now that things have settled, she's powering through the rest of the maps full time, so we'll have a lot more next month. Can't wait to share more!
Future Updates
The Spinal Crux Warriors are committed to sending an update on this project's progress on the second-to-last Monday of each month. Like this month, we'll be sure to share any other projects the Warriors are working on. Thanks for tuning in, and see ya soon.
