Great! I'll organize some more information and links, so you have a better idea of what it is I am working with. (see further below) Do you have an anonymous email where I can contact you (For future use)? You could set up a BI Pirate@Gmail account, just remember to turn off that satellite thing.
What I am working with used to be called text adventure games, now it's called interactive fiction. In essence, I'm creating a virtual, future Beaver Isles Archipelago. The "game" will be only text, allowing for the exploration of creative writing during development. The player will be able to type commands and wander around exploring a fictional future archipelago. It's becoming a sci-fi, fantasy, mystery adventure. I'm doing it with a programming language that anyone can download and use for free, Inform 7. it uses programming concepts, but the structure is all English words and sentences. It's fun! It will produce a game file, that is usable on all computers and digital devices. The user will need to download a free "interactive fiction player" from online, there are many of them.
The project is still 90% undeveloped. I am still in the stage of creating areas, characters. mysteries. and puzzles. I am still learning the Inform 7 programming language myself, and having a lot of fun with it. I want the project to be very fictional, very fun, about a "future" Beaver Isles Archipelago. It will be "flavored" with the atmosphere of Beaver Island, and it's local fictional legends, all done very tastefully and respectfully, of course. (Rated G/PG) (it takes place thousands of years in the future, no real people or places will be mentioned without permission and collaboration.)
I'll post some more information, and some links for people who may be interested. And then I will stop hogging the forum.
I'm also open for suggestions, or collaboration with anyone else who is interested in creative writing, or game creation, or learning an easy programming language. It's a fun winter hobby. Involvement could include anything from brainstorming ideas and writing them down, to helping create virtual areas and creatures, helping with ideas for "Islander" puzzles and mysteries, to helping with actual programming. It will also involve; making a hand-drawn map, making a flowchart of connected areas, making a spreadsheet of items creatures and areas, and typing instructions.
Pirate: No need for agents yet, most IF (Interactive Fiction) projects are distributed free afterwards. This is a fun hobby project that will hopefully be years in the making.
And, Leonard says no worries, the future "Beaver Isles" only exists in a state of mind. Now if I could only get him to stop throwing stuff out of my backpack! LOL
Links with more information follow below. A teaser from the game follows after that. And remember....
Dark gray clouds skud across the bare treetops, driven in frozen huddles against the stiff winter morning wind. Biting snow bounces off of your cheek, clinging to your hair and eyelashes. You can barely feel the frozen windshield under your numb fingers. The thermometer says there are no degrees this morning. Winter is coming. Time for a warm, cozy hobby?

From Ted: I'll be posting a link to a website I have that will track different versions of my own project, and looking for beta testers. Right now the project is in its early beginnings, and is barely considered an Alpha. If you're interested in testing, or helping, send me an email.

Teaser: (Intro from the game)
Year: 4545, The Great Inland Sea.
The hover-pad speeds across the Great Inland Sea 'Michigammi', a vast stretch of fresh water that covers the entire mid-western US. Being a humid climate, the air hangs heavy over the water and patchy clouds of mist part slightly as you pass. Small swells and peaks in the surface blur beneath you as the miles speed by, seemingly suspended in a rippled chrome reflection of the sky.
The hover pad slows as you see the Beaver Isles on the horizon, the steaming vent-cone of Mt. Pisgah rising ominously from the forest canopy, black smoke curling into the blue sky. A strange and unexplored island awaits you. Aside from your fellow scientist, who is now missing, you will be the first human (sort of), to explore the Isles in over 500 years.
Following it's programming, the hover pad approaches slowly, scanning ahead for trouble. It drops you off at the predetermined 'safe area'; a small islet jutting up from the sea, just off the main shoreline. The half-standing ruins of an ancient lighthouse still remain, it's signal light replaced long-ago with a mound of rust and melted glass, sparkling in the sun as if still sending out it's signal after eons.
The hover pad moves back out to open water, disappearing into the blue chrome sky, and awaits your signal from a safe distance. You have much to learn and to prepare before you venture out onto the main island. What happened to the previous scientist who explored here? What are these islands, and what life exists here? You only have a one week vacation this year, so you better get busy!
Leonard that is what sold me on your project.
We are currently arguing that Beaver Island isn't in Michigan or even the United States.
