On the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street, all is not what it seems. What role will you play in a city's fate?

Thank you to all the fans who have been enjoying my work all this time. Hope you enjoy the new one!

Earlier this year I posted a screenshot teaser for the game I've been working on since I finished The Norwood Suite. But now the timeline is set and the release is imminent: Put it on your wish-list: Tales From Off-Peak City Vol. 1 is coming soon!

About the game:

It’s a hazy Sunday morning on the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street. Caetano Grosso, a former saxophone player and longtime pizza-maker, is just getting his pizza oven warmed up. Orders are trickling in, and he needs someone to help with the deliveries. You sense an opportunity, but unbeknownst to him, what you’re really after is his old saxophone, and you’re going to get it one way or another. Your pursuit will set off a chain of events across the neighborhood, taking you deep into the hidden worlds and private lives of the people living there.

Tales From Off-Peak City is a first-person adventure game series, all set on, around, and under a single street corner. Filled with memorable characters and the spaces they inhabit, the game provides an open-ended world full of secrets and hidden agendas. Building on the gameplay foundations of Off-Peak and The Norwood Suite, players will explore the streets and its surroundings, make pizzas, take photos, push buttons, open drawers they’re not supposed to, and lose themselves inside the atmospheric musical score that integrates itself directly into the game world.

Volume 1: Caetano’s Slice is the first game of many in the anthology of Tales. While each ‘Volume’ is its own self-contained story and experience, taken together, they build towards the larger over-arching narrative of what’s really going on at the corner of July Avenue and Yam Street and what role you ultimately play in its fate.

My next game is called Tales From Off-Peak City. I'll have more to say on it as the year unfolds, but in the meantime, you can follow its progress on my Discord channel. Watch this space...

In honor of the release of The Norwood Suite on vinyl, I’m hosting a live internet radio broadcast on Friday, August 10th at 12pm-1pm Eastern Time.  It will take place on Discord, my new community server for all things related to my games Off-Peak, The Norwood Suite and my as-yet-untitled third game, which is also set in the same universe. 



The Discord channel will be a repository of all manner of happenings around my work, as well as an opportunity for fans of my work to connect.

The internet radio show coming up will feature select music that’s inspired me and the making of The Norwood Suite, including alternate versions of the Norwood Soundtrack and some new jams I've been working on.

Hope you can listen in, and in the meantime, feel free to connect and check in on the progress of my next game on my Discord channel!
