Hey Lotus fans,
Very sorry to have dropped off the face of the Earth for a little while but I think a lot of you would understand. Bad timing aside - just as the Greenberg contest wrapped up I was contacted by an up-and-coming video game...

Hey Lotus fans,
Very sorry to have dropped off the face of the Earth for a little while but I think a lot of you would understand. Bad timing aside - just as the Greenberg contest wrapped up I was contacted by an up-and-coming video game company. The name I cannot reveal until at least January.
You want a success story? Through link passing, Facebook sharing and about 99.99% fluke, the company president stumbled upon my info and skill set as an interactive storyteller with a background in journalism. Through 6-degrees of separation he managed to grab my contact info and asked to see some of my work. Well, obviously I pointed him this way to check out Lotus because this is by far the best piece of work I can show anyone at this point in my career. The pres actually printed out the first issue of Lotus and started reading through the second issue.
To make a long and exhausting story short, he offered me a gig to script 2 video games for his company based on my style and attention to detail with character development. One game will be released in January (the web version only) and the high profile game will be released in Septmeber of 09.
NDA restricts me from getting into any details but I did ask him if I could make the news of me landing a gig through the comic public to the Z2H community.
The experience has been so euphoric and so amazing for both the company and myself that I've been asked to stay on board to script all of the dialogue and the entire story for the second game. The original contract was to write 12 character backstories but once I finished with that I pitched that I should be writing the entire story because I knew it so well and had the opportinity to develop the entire mythology behind the game.
That's the extent of the information I'm allowed to share, but I'll keep everyone posted as more info becomes public.
So.... Thanks to Z2H, thanks to all of your and thanks to Matt, Jessica, Julian, Miguel, Ian, Ed and everyone involved with Lotus thus far. You guys helped me get work in an industry I never thought possible!
BTW (sorry for this skyscraper blog post) Lotus isn't dead and I'm getting a break next month from the game to work on some other projects (mostly just Lotus). So keep checking out the page and I'll do my best to keep you all posted.
Lotus.
