    Some tips

    *Microsoft Silverlight is required to view the graphic novel. Simply click on any of the chapter cover pages and you'll be prompted to install Silverlight. It's a quick and easy 1-2 min install. Silverlight is pre-installed with Vista and Windows 7*

    *The calendar feature on the right side shows when certain pages/chapters are released. For example right now the full Prologue is viewable. Chapter 1 has 4 pages up but next Thursday 4 more will be released. Check the Calendar for the schedule*

    *Home page music can be paused by clicking on the red button on the bottom left of the screen next to Advertising*
  • Jan 20 - New update to page turner

    Greetings city dwellers,

    You asked for it and we delivered
    .
    While in the graphic novel page turner there was never an option to skip ahead of the audio and read the text. Going forward you’ll now notice that on the bottom of the text box there’s new arrow icon. Simply click the arrow and you can skip ahead and read the text as you please.

    In order to activate the arrow you’ll have to click the play button of the panel, you’ll then see the arrow appear with the text.

    New pages for the current chapter will be up early February so stay tuned. We’re taking a bit of break to improve the page turner.
    Thanks
  • Jan 5 2010 - Urban Inferno Chapter 3

    Hey Folks

    I hope everyone had a great holiday and new years!

    Urban Inferno Chapter 3 has 1 page up so far. It'll still be a week or two before another page is up. There will be an update shortly that will allow you to scroll through the text of the graphic novel instead of having to wait for it to be read.

    I'll explain exactly how this works once it's live, so you'll be able to read panels if you don't feel like listening to the audio.  

    In the mean time help spread the word and tell everyone about Urban Inferno.

    Join the community forums and help me make Urban Inferno the best it can be!

  • The Confessional: Does the secret Bordello exist?

    Looking to add some spice to your blend sexual desires? Tired of the every day, used up hookers who prowl every nook and cranny of our City? Well rumors have been surfacing for years of an elite bordello geared towards the lucky rich of the City. No one has ever been able to prove its existence…until now. That’s right ladies and gentlemen; I bring to you a conversation with a man who has experienced all the goodies the bordello has to offer first hand. He is now ready to confess all the juicy details.

    I have agreed to withhold the man’s name for security reasons. He will be referred to as “informant”

    **********************************************
    Thank you for agreeing to meet with me. First off, does the Confessional truly exist, or is it a myth?

    Informant: It may exist, it may not, but more then likely it does, assuming you want it to.

    Then it does exist! I knew it, now tell me where is it located?

    Informant: It may be above ground, or under, but if you think it’s above then your wrong.

    For years the bordello has been considered a fabricated fable created by the horny and hopeless. Today it’s a reality that will become a breakthrough in modern prostitution for our fair City. Why come forward now?

    Informant: Because I’m broke, lonely and desperately need to get back in.

    You mean to tell me you’ve been denied access back into the Confessional?

    Informant: Yes! Damn it! I lost it all, my money, my wife and children. But worst of all, my access key…

    **My informant began to shake and cry. I’ve seen emotional break downs like this before, from drug addicts. Never had I seen a man plead to get back into a whorehouse**

    You mean to say you access key to the bordello was taken away?

    Informant: Yes you moron! Please, if you’re out there reading this, I love you! I need you…I will devote me life to you, just talk them into letting me back in.

    Who is exactly do you mean?

    Informant: None of your business asshole! She needs me just as much as I need her. I know it. I’ll be her lion again.

    So by “Her” you mean a prostitute at the Confessional. Do you refer to yourself as a “Lion” in a sexual fetish sort of way? Why were you denied access?

    Informant: I spent it all on her…everything I had, because I need her. Now I’m out, and they won’t let me back in. I threatened to go the media! They said they’d kill me and I know they will. I’ll never be able to touch her again! I can’t breathe without her…

    **********************************************

    My Informant proceeded to jump out of my fifteenth floor office window to his untimely death. Luckily I had uncovered the truth of the existence of the Confessional before his quick suicidal demise. Stay tuned as I follow the lead left by my informant, and attempt to uncover the truth.
