Gearstorm
Today’s the last day of the Gearstorm kickstarter! It’s been a wild ride and I’d like to finish it by treating everyone to an action extravaganza of a story. This is the last story in my Gearstorm series and I hope you’ve all enjoyed reading them.
Enjoy!
Read MoreI hope you all have been enjoying the Gearstorm short stories so far. Unfortunately, I’m pretty much out of ICA colony stuff. But there are a few other points in the history that I’d love to visit. Today we’re going back to get a glimpse of what went down in the Sol system after the ICA Vanguard made its desperate launch.
This will be the second-to-last story in the Gearstorm series. But I did promise a grand finale and that’s coming up. The very next post will be about a pivotal and hella-dramatic point in the history of Apollyon. I can’t wait for ya’ll to read it.
But for now, we’ll share a tough moment with the crew of the MSS Duty.
Read MoreToday we get to see our fictional ICA colony at around day 500 as a great discovery is revealed to our cast and crew.
But before you click read more, please help us out by visiting the Gearstorm kickstarter page or sharing it’s link around. We’re hoping to strap on the rocket-boosters the game needs to become its best.
If you’re knew to the Gearstorm series, I’d encourage you to start at the beginning with The Last Day at the ICA story.
Anyway, on to the show!
Read MoreI’m glad ya’ll have enjoyed the Gearstorm stories so far. We still have high hopes on the kickstarter and it’s only half-done. Today I have another story for you. This one takes place after Day 1, Reboot Humanity and continues to focus on the oddities and dangers of the ICA colony.
If you are enjoying these shorts, please hop over to the game’s kickstarter page and take a look. Thanks!
Now, on to the fiction!

"Apollyon...what a cruel fate for man's second Eden to be named so. That such a grim name comes from the highest bidder's list is, I find, a most fitting start to its prophecy of our destruction." -Jorg Neuman, Astrophysicist. 2191 AD.

Read MoreHi everyone, the Gearstorm kickstarter is well under way and funding is rising. To help build awareness, I’m running up a series of short stories set in the Gearstorm setting. There’s gonna be a new one every few days and the last story will be a grande finale of space-zombie action.
Today’s offering is the ‘sequel’ to the first story (The Last Day at the ICA).
Read MoreSo, ya’ll remember that video game I was hinting at doing some writing for? Guess what - I can finally talk about it! The game is called Gearstorm and it’s a military sci-fi survival game. If base-building on an alien world infested with space-zombies is your thing, or might be your thing, check out the kickstarter. Also, keep reading cause I’ve got something special down below.
Anyway, Gearstorm is made by my friends over at Iron City Games. They’re a gutsy two-man game dev company and they’ve been inventing new wheels (like Unreal engine terrain generation algorithms) to put on this crazy game for almost five years now. So I really hope they succeed.
But today isn’t just me advertising my friends’ game, I come bearing gifts in the form of free fiction for you all! While working on the lore of the Gearstorm setting, I got all inspired and wrote some fun short-stories set in the world. These helped us get a feel for the game back when it was little more than rag-dolls and zombies.
So, without further adieu, I give you the start - the last day at the ICA.
