Sci-Fi short story: Project 1-26-1 (FINISHED)

Sci-Fi short story: Project 1-26-1 (FINISHED)

Project Overview

Project 1-26-1 is a short science fiction audio story I created based on one of my old short stories, depending on how things go this will be released as a podcast, video (without visuals), or a short free to play visual novel

"Director Morgan awakens to the discovery that everyone who worked under him has died in a terrible catastrophe stemming from the mysterious "Project 1-26-1". But Morgan seems to care little for the loss of life, completely consumed with his search for answers about whether the project has succeeded... 

What exactly was "Project 1-26-1"?

And why is he so hellbent on knowing the results?"

This story is mainly told by the narrator with some side characters saying a few important lines, I am planning to play the narrator (Morgan) myself. Participation in this project will be on a volunteer basis but hopefully, some of you will be interested to participate in this as a nice short fun project, or for something to put in your previous work section of your profile

  • Casting concluded

    Thank you very much for all of your audions everyone, we have finally decided upon our casting for this project. Given the lack of interest in the part of "dying woman" I've changed the script slightly and turned it into "dying person", I've had a brother of mine step in to provide a recording for the one line that character had and I think he did a pretty good job of it, though I will still leave the role open to auditions for another few days To those selected for this project thank you for your interest and I look forward to working with you, you can find a full script for the project by following a link in the description. And I've prepared a link to a media fire box you can upload files to if casting call club doesn't already have a way to transfer them which I can private message to you provided you still want the part you applied for If you've been worried about the approaching deadline up until now don't worry, I planned to use that more as a guide for the casting period and push back the actual hoped for release date for about 2 or three weeks. This isn't a huge project so hopefully that'll be enough time but if you need more then just let me know If you didn't get a role in this project I still appreciate your audtions and I hope you do well continuing your search for projects to be involved in Thank you for your interest in project 1-26-1 Plotline_Progenitor

  • We have warned the director countless times of the dangers posed by using the newly discovered minerals in this... "Miracle engine" but he is heedless to our warnings
