Just a reminder I am constantly adding new material and am looking for Beta Testers to play through Book 1's ARG.  Thanks for looking.  Book 2's browser playable CCG FOOD FIGHT - Lunchroom Legends will be available for Beta Tests soon as well. 

ahahahahahahaaaaa, I love it.

this is a reply to Eldwoods reply.  I can't reply in that post, dunno why.  Im new here. ok.  I don't and won't argue.  You obviously have a limited understanding of LLMs and how they work.  Maybe you are a MSM believer.  Whatever.  Hope you have a great day.  Watch out for that AI.

I use AI for inking and colors.  What artist did I steal from?

OP upload 800 posts back was a cat themed game and my project has a cat as a main character.  Thanks for posting this forum.  Check out what I have been working on for my daughter Lady KatieBeth,

It's 1987 in Birmingham, Alabama. It has been 1987 for a very long time. Nobody seems to mind. You should probably mind.

The signal has been broadcasting at 13Hz from beneath the limestone since before anyone thought to measure it. Before anyone thought at all, really. That's sort of the point.

FOREVER:NEON is a six-book speculative fiction series and fully playable alternate reality game set in a version of Birmingham, Alabama, where the year never changed, the neon never dimmed, and the thing beneath the city never stopped feeding.

Book One lands you in 1987. You'll meet people who've built lives inside a world that was built around them — a frequency-locked terrarium where the culture doesn't evolve because it was never supposed to. Some of them have started noticing. The ones who notice tend to have very interesting weeks.

The ARG is live. The sites are real. The codes are buried. Tune into WXPO Channel 6/7 for broadcasts that shouldn't exist. Submit your clearance codes through the Signal Clearance Terminal. Answer W.A.N.D.A. when she asks — she doesn't like being ignored. Find Katie's page before she takes it down. If you go looking, you'll find doors. Some of them open into the world. Some of them open into something that has been waiting, very patiently, for you to start paying attention.

What's Included:

FOREVER:NEON — Book One (full manuscript, 92,000+ words, 21 chapters)

Full access to the live ARG ecosystem at afterthegrid.org, including:

WXPO CHANNEL 6/7— Birmingham's only frequency-compliant news source. Six eras. Six embedded STAR codes. Weather you shouldn't trust.

W.A.T.C.H. Portal — Government infrastructure. Six HORSESHOE code slots. Two intake forms. A chatbot named W.A.N.D.A. who has 53 ways to tell you compliance is connection.

Signal Clearance Terminal — Faction-skinned code redemption. Pick a side. Mean it.

Katie's Kitties — A GeoCities fan page. An entry gate. Don't overthink it. Actually — overthink it.

V.E.T. — Vril Entertainment Transmissions. Corporate. Clean. Smiling. Nothing behind the smile.

Faction recruitment. Team mechanics. Embedded codes across every surface. A signal that doesn't care whether you believe in it.

Name your price (it's for a great cause). Or don't. The frequency doesn't charge admission.
