Gato Salvaje S.L., a Spanish company dedicated to the production of episodic gaming, has announced that the famous comic writer Greg Rucka, known for his work on such comics as Action Comics, Batwoman, Detective Comics, Wolverine and the miniseries Superman: World of New Krypton, has been tapped to write the story for upcoming episodes of the point & click adventure game AR-K.
The developers have also launched a Kickstarter page to help support the upcoming series, including a video featuring Greg Rucka, Fernando Prieto (CEO of Gato Salvaje Studio) and the - obviously angry - heroin Alice:
One of the most acclaimed comic-book writers and novelists in America, Greg Rucka has been brought on to work on Episodes Three and Four. Rucka's previous credits include work at DC Comics (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman) as well as Marvel
(Spider-Man, Wolverine, Elektra, the Punisher), and a raft of award-winning creator owned books from Oni Press
(Whiteout, Queen & Country, Stumptown).
Greg Rucka is not the only one supporting the project, as Ash Sroka, the woman who voiced Tali'Zorah of the Normandy in the Mass Effect Trilogy, will be the game's hero, Alicia. Her amazing talent and lovely voice will bring Alicia's humor, wit, and drive to life in a new, and wonderful, way.
The studio also announced today that the game is now on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform to release Episode 3 and 4 of the game, but also to add more localization languages like German, French or Russian:
