Digital Roadmap

This episode will one day be sponsored by John Titor. Join us as we look just a few brief styles of time travel and how they’re used in video games for story telling purposes. Also, according to a guy who looked like a much older version of myself, this may one day be the pilot of a new series. Until then, come back next episode when we discuss Journeyman Project 2: Buried In Time.

Nostalgia in 4K resolution. In this special episode I sit down with D’Aevkki Studios’ Tim Cowles, the co-writer, co-director and co-producer of “The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker”. During our discussion, we talk about everything from his history with FMV games, murder mystery parties, horror film Scream, to the Guinness Book Of World Records. We even remember to go over the game as well, including the now released patch 1.06 “brkn kyb8rd”.

Be sure to pick up this great take on the FMV style and tell Tim & the rest of D’Aevkki what a great job they did on it.

Sometimes it’s cheesy, sometimes it’s effective, but the full motion video game will always have a soft spot in my heart. This episode we look at the heyday of the games, and look at the resurgence we’ve been seeing in recent years. Any one of these games would be a great experience to play through.
