Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chris Tolworthy, designer of an epic videogame series called Enter The Story, has sent out a photo-call for ordinary people to star in his next game Genesis Of The Gods, due out shortly in December 2009.
The Enter The Story cycle takes tales from classic literature and turns them into scenic point-and-click adventure games. Tolworthy aims to bring these stories to life for the modern age, to use them to touch on deeper real-world themes such as poverty and the meaning of life, and to do so in an engaging and accessible way.
All of the games are linked by a mysterious young woman named Peri who, as part of her own search for a true home, finds herself interacting with various fictional figures.
The first game in the series revolved around Les Miserables, whilst the second was all about Dante's Divine Comedy. The upcoming Genesis Of The Gods is based on the ancient Greek creation myth, while a few of the other stories planned for later inclusion are Shakesperean opus Julius Caesar, the imaginatively explorative Treasure Island, and a collection of fairy tales intended for children.
The competitions' winners will appear as the faces of a 50-strong cast of Greek deities, including Zeus, Athena, Apollo, Cratos, Nike and Poseidon. Other unused head-shots remain in hot contention for inclusion later on in the expansive series.
