Ivy Taking Over Gaming World

Okay… Maybe Erin “The Ivy” Robinson isn’t taking over the gaming world with her ivy like game making skills, but she IS involved in another project! You may remember a while back that I posted an entry about creating a brand spanking new game called Nanobots. Well, she has just announced that she has been commissioned to help make the graphics for another game.

Dave Gilbert of Wadjet Eye Games, the dude who made such great games as Blackwell and Shivah, has come up with a story for a new Blackwell game called Blackwell Unbound.

Here’s the story of the game thus far:

The year is 1971. The sound of a lone, ethereal saxophone drifts over the Roosevelt Island promenade, while a series of accidents plague a midtown construction site. The citizens of Manhattan take no notice of these events, let alone think they are connected.

Embittered medium Lauren Blackwell and her spirit guide Joey Mallone are the only ones who believe that there is anything strange going on, and they are the only ones who can stop an enigmatic killer from striking again…

This game looks awesome. I’ll definitely be playin’ it when it comes out in August. Can’t wait!
