What is Investigative Fiction? The BRNK trailer is now live

We’ve been working with guys over at BRNK on a trailer for their exciting new app. What follows is part fiction of our times, part real world events as they unfold. It’s an experiment in how fast fiction – shadowing the news a few short weeks behind – is researched and written.

The first chapters take place in the summer of 2012 (with glimpses ahead of us, like the Prologue below). By the time we reach the end of the Pilot Episode the real world events idea will have crept up on you – and the here and now.

From Episode Two onwards you’ll begin to recognise themes and international incidents from recent weeks, through the eyes of fictitious characters we hope you’ll come to care about.

Production blog for Balloon Days launches

This week saw the launch of our production blog for our upcoming iPad storybook app ‘Balloon Days’. ‘Milo Saves The Circus’ is the first in a series of original tales. It is being developed by us in-house and is a charming interactive story (aimed at 4-7 year olds) which will be available early in 2011. We have already completed all the backgrounds and secondary characters, we are now working through the primary ones and how all the functionality will work. Finally, we’d love you to become a fan on Facebook.
