Blackmail (Queensport Episode Two) is LIVE!

There's a new episode available in the ever growing colection of QUEENSPORT (links below). It features:
  • Area exploration; find things to use later
  • Inventory management; inspect what you have, use items
  • interactive dialogues and animated scenes you remember from Episode one
  • Supporting relevant audio under many scenes
  • Audio narrated interactive animations
(by the way; two of the existing interactive animations in episode one are now also audio narrated)


You can continue to Episode two after you finish with episode one or start fresh.
In episode two the main protagonist character is an accountant (the advisor in Episode one, Tuition fees) who has the keys to the office and a lot more options. You can also keep your character from the four other narratives from episode one or create one random. They can finish the quest but have less choices and areas to explore. In episode three the accountant will be a supporting character and the story will focus on some of the others.
All characters can finish the quest: your/the assistant is being blackmailed. Do something about it.

This episode also introduces the new game feature 'Love Shack'; a player home which you can use to invite NPCs you've met during your adventures to engage in interesting activities outside of the main story line(s). It's only an introduction at this time since I've focussed on the audio narratives but I've done the animations and renders and will increase content on a weekly basis. Give it a run, enjoy.

With Episode 2 and the Love Shack (Player Home) comes a new Splash

Since the growing collection of games can be played individually or in sequence I've decided to place the stories in a fictional city 'Queensport' (with a nod and a wink to Lovecraft's 'Kingsport') and call the games episodes instead of chapters, which suggests a mandatory  play-through but I aim for freedom.
I've created this city myself[*] and it's much bigger than this single picture shows. In the future you'll be able to explore this city to encounter characters and/or find items to add to your Love Shack Contact List resp. Storage. Like I've said before; with Tuition Fees I've built a shed while collecting the tools. Now I'm going to build houses, castles, cities even. I've only just started. Patreon stores when Patrons joined this effort and I will reward loyalty and stamina :) Episode 2 is expected to be released in the weekend of October 22. Stay tuned.
