New More Do-able/Exciting Project and going away for a while

[The Rock Worm]

Even though I had a story idea for "Beneath the Ice", after replaying Penumbra: Overture and Penumbra: Black Plague I have decided to shelve "Beneath the Ice" in favor of a better story. Even when I first played Penumbra, I loved how 'real' it felt.Not just its mechanics, but the story itself felt like "Something like this could really happen" (granted this was before encountering the giant worm and the Tuurngait).

So if I want that same kind of feel, that this story could really happen, I needed a new direction. I will share a secret, I love the sea critters, especially the deep sea ones. If I'm lucky, I would join the explorers into those unexplored depths. Taking this thought in mind, I developed a new story line that I would 100% enjoy doing (far more than my "Beneath the Ice" one) and be easier to make.

Please note that I will not be on this forum until the first chapter of the story is done. I promise to never shelve this story but create it. Considering it's designed off of my deep sea desires, I never will be able to shelve it. Time taken away from being in the forum will include: story production, new models (still updating my Linux/Blender), and testing the first chapter before release. Also note that the you play character shares my desires for the deep, but who's name isn't mine. Consider the teaser below as a trailer for an upcoming movie, something that gets you interested in more (but have to wait for its release).
