A sample of Darkendore

Just going to drop these here. I'm only a few scenes away from finishing Darkendore. Some of the art is still pending, but have a look at this. It's a fair indication of what you'll see if you choose to download the Tales: Choose Your Own Story app for iOS or Android (still in beta I think).  Apologies in advance for the poor graphical and sound quality. That's on me. Between my sub-par video screen-capture skills, and the video conversion here on Blogger, it hasn't translated super-well. Still, I figured they're worth worth putting up to give an idea of what I'm up to.

The Outer Worlds - It's [insert favorite RPG, Movie, Book, TV show] - In Space!!

Darkendore and Cat's Claw share top position

 Much as I hate to brag... *Ahem* My branching narrative stories Cat's Claw and Darkendore have recently shared top spot on the Tales: Choose Your Own Story app. This makes me very happy. The app management team are still in the "writer and community building stage" right now. But even so, the number of readers appears to be steadily growing. There must be over a thousand stories/games on the app now and I'm so happy my stories are being read, even at this early stage.
