Radio drama game Codename Cygnus crosses funding finish line
Codename Cygnus successfully reached its Kickstarter funding goal this week, earning a total of $13,943. The interactive radio drama app for iOS has players acting as secret agents, with their choices impacting a fictional world through both touch and voice commands. Each of Codename Cygnus' episodes are around 20 minutes in length, with the first episode launching this month and subsequent episodes arriving every week. Among the cast involved in a few episodes are Logan Cunningham, known for voicing the narrator Rucks in Bastion, and Red Dead Redemption's Rob Wiethoff, the voice of John Marston.
Voice of John Marston joins Codename Cygnus radio drama app
Codename Cygnus, the interactive radio drama app seeking $11,000 on Kickstarter, now has another noteworthy voice actor joining its cast: Rob Wiethoff. Known for voicing John Marston in Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption, Wiethoff will take on the role of a mysterious man named Lazarus during a planned "sidequest episode." Wiethoff's episode will arrive in September, providing the project is funded. The app has players listening to 15 to 20-minute episodes, occasionally deciding on the direction the story turns through touch-screen and verbal commands, similar to a choose-your-own-adventure novel. Wiethoff joins the narrator of Bastion, Logan Cunningham on the project. The app has raised $9,062 on Kickstarter so far, and has until Sunday to reach its goal.
Bastion narrator lending his voice to Codename Cygnus radio drama
Logan Cunningham, known as the voice behind Bastion narrator Rucks, is lending his pipes to an interactive radio drama for iOS, Codename Cygnus. Developed by Reactive Studios, the project is seeking $11,000 on Kickstarter by August 11 to fund more episodes in its story arc. Cunningham's role in the story is that of the "first spy nemesis," and will deliver a "villainous speech" in the first episode, slated to launch this month. Each episode is expected to run between 15 and 20 minutes, "although the total playable content will be a lot more," the project page notes. Sarah Elmaleh (Skulls of the Shogun, Gone Home, Resonance) and Chris Ciulla (Fallout: New Vegas) are two of the 25+ voice actors that are also involved in the project. Codename Cygnus offers a simple UI and voice recognition for listeners to audibly direct how each episode plays out. The project is currently sitting at $7,388 in funding with nine days left in the campaign.
First annual NY Game Critics Circle Awards tickets are now available (and free!)
For the low, low cost of absolutely nothing, you can attend the first annual New York Game Critics Circle Awards here in New York City on February 2. But perhaps a free ticket to hang out with a bunch of NYC-based game journos isn't that exciting -- we totally understand. And that's why we're bringing Bastion songsmiths Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett into the mix, who will be performing songs from the award-winning game live throughout the show. Going on that theme, we figured that you'd rather hear Bastion's narrator emceeing the proceedings than our best attempts at outside voices, so Logan Cunningham will be in charge of the proceedings. Beyond the trio of Bastion stars, award presenters like legendary animator Bill Plympton and Emmy award winner Dan Radosh will be gracing the stage, bolstered by members of the Critics Circle as well. Seating is limited, so if you'd like to attend, be sure to RSVP right here!
