\"\"Hi, this is Jane. Cesar asked me to put together a few words for the Phoenix Online newsletter to let people know what I\u2019m up to. This past year has been a tumultuous one for me \u2013 leaving my long-time job at Oberon\/I-Play studio and trying to figure out what\u2019s next. I\u2019ve decided to start my own studio, Pinkerton Road<\/a>. You know, it\u2019s just high freaking time to put a stake in the ground and do exactly the kind of games I want to do, come what may. And as you may suppose, what I want to do is wonderful, beautiful, mysterious adventure games!<\/p>\n

To that end, we have a Kickstarter<\/a> campaign running now that will fund our first adventure game. What is the game about? Well you might ask! I have 3 games I want to do, hopefully in quick succession. And since part of the core idea of the studio is to involve our customers and fans more directly (in a model we call CSG \u2013 Community Supported Gaming), we decided to let you all vote on which of the three should be the first game we make.<\/p>\n

The three games are Gray Matter 2 (in which David and Sam track Angela\u2019s roots to discover the secrets of her mysterious power), a game set in Regency England that we\u2019re calling \u201cAnglophile Adventure\u201d and a 3rd game \u2013 Moebius. Moebius is Cesar\u2019s favorite so I\u2019ll tell you a little more about it here. In Moebius, Malachi Rector is an antiquities dealer who hunts down artifacts all over the world. After losing everything in a fire, he’s hired by a Manhattan millionaire to investigate a series of events and document them in his meticulous way. But Rector soon realizes that the events hold a bizarre significance, as does his own existence. This is a metaphysical thriller a la Dante\u2019s Equation and Gabriel Knight. It will have a 2D, graphic novel look and feel (like an updated GK1). It will be a 3rd person adventure game with a point-and-click mechanic and lots of sophisticated puzzles.<\/p>\n

The concept piece below was done by Phoenix Online\u2019s own talented artist, Elisa. Notice anything unusual about it? Look closely. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So head on over to the Kickstarter<\/a> page and get in on the action! We’re excited to see what game will be voted on by the backers, and for the future of Pinkerton Road<\/a>! <\/p>\n
