Apparently in Card's world, gamers love change. "Nothing would be worse than if they play the second game is the same as the first," Card said. Shadow Complex's story was written by Star Trek novelist Peter David.Ĭard also notes that he is confident he has "come up with something" to allow future games in the series to be different. Orson Scott Cardis the author of the novels Enders Game, Enders Shadow, and Speaker for the Dead. Card says, he enjoys Shadow Complex's main character so much, he suspects readers will see Jason Flemming (voiced by Nolan North) appear in a future novel within the universe. Two very different arts end up working together to tell the same story," Card told Variety.
However, unlike his experience working on the poorly-received game Advent Rising - which Card was brought into late to develop the game's story - the author and Chair Entertainment collaborated from the beginning to bring the Empire book trilogy and Shadow Complex to life. On August 19, Card returns to gaming by creating the world that surrounds Shadow Complex, which runs parallel to the events in Card's best-selling novel, Empire. An avid old school gamer himself, Card has worked on a few notable game projects, including The Secret of Monkey Island, for which he penned the swordfighting insults.

There’s a deadly new plague in Africa, and it is devastating the countryside and cities. And now that he has complete power at home, he plans to expand American imperial power around the world. The war of words between right and left collapsed into a shooting war, and raged between the high-technology weapons on each side, devastating cities and overrunning the countryside.Īt the close of Empire, political scientist and government adviser Averell Torrent had maneuvered himself into the presidency of the United States.
