The Present
Hello, I'm Bill Slease, the guy responsible here...
I worry about things most people in the video game industry find strange or irrelvant or dangerous or maybe just weak-minded.
In short, I'm trying to figure out if video games are part of the cultural mandate (Genesis 1:28 and 2:15), and if they are,
what then?
In the meantime, I'm working at Cheyenne Mountain on an MMO based on the Stargate
movie and TV series.
Email me.

"Path of the Shell closes the spin-off series with gusto. It's mysterious and satisfying. It fulfills its promise of delivering an immersive, unforgettable journey. The visuals...not only exceed those in any adventure game to date, it crushes them...It's the mystery that drives you. The feeling of genuine exploration and discovery. This single element elevates Path of the Shell, and the Uru series for that matter, above most modern adventure games and seals its status as a classic."
