We’ve got a great show for you this evening. Starting at 9:00 p.m. Pacific, tune in to SCIFI.radio to hear The Event Horizon with our special guest, Gregory MacMartin of Interdimensional Games, as we discuss Consortium. Set on a high-tech aircraft in an alternate universe future, Consortium sets the new gold standard in science fiction adventure games.
Gregory MacMartin is the producer of Consortium. He and his brother Steve came up with the idea seven years ago, and in 2013 launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to create the game. Their team of writers, programmers and designers built the game at their studio in Vancouver, Canada. It’s unlike any other sci-fi RPG game you might have played before:
Consortium completely dissolves the fourth wall. You roleplay as yourself – you can speak and act as yourself, and you’re being given the opportunity to physically control a man from a parallel world. This man is first day Consortium field agent Bishop Six, operative for a powerful peacekeeping force in a not-quite-utopian future of 2042.
How you choose to speak for, interpret and play this role is entirely up to you. You can choose to role-play the Bishop and be what the Consortium want you to be, or force your own path and use his voice and body to explore their world.
You can get the game on Steam. Through December 2 it’s on sale for a mere $14.
Gregory is an 18 year video game development veteran. Through working with companies such as Cavedog Entertainment, Electronic Arts, Relic Entertainment, Turbine, and Radical Entertainment, Gregory has experienced video game development from many vantage points.
