Freefall – the complete story .pdf download

Freefall.pdf

Freefall is a story I’m incredibly proud of.  It’s one of my best stories, I believe, and serves as inspiration for a couple episodes of the upcoming Duskland: The Web Series.  It was certainly a challenge for me with its non-sequential and episodic format, but it all comes together pretty nicely.  It’s a tale that’s heavily influenced by The Twilight Zone and one I feel is definitely worth a read.  Feel free to download this story and share it with your friends.  I love getting feedback (even if you don’t like it – just be polite!), so let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Duskland Tales on Windows Phone 8

In preparation for the upcoming debut of Duskland: The Web Series, Mana Interactive has prepared a companion app for Duskland.  It will have a stream for all the episodes in the web series as they’re published, production photos, news, and links to Raw Footage Films’ and Unity Films’ Facebook and YouTube pages.  Additionally, the app will also contain .pdf download links for any written Duskland Tale that is and will be published.  All in all, it’s a great companion app and will only grow over time.  You can download the app on your Windows Phone 8 device here.

Unfortunately, the app is currently only running on Windows Phone 8 devices and there are currently plans to release a companion app on Windows 8 PCs, though no other details are currently available.

Duskland: The Web Series is poised to debut this year with the initial episode being Job: A Duskland Tale.  Stay tuned for more information regarding the web series and future publications in the written series.
