The shareware side-scroller INTERPOSE is being made into a comic book!

I'm not involved with this but thought you'd like to know.

As I understand it, Twilight Zone (the original authors, Morten, Markus & Lars) licensed the Interpose game and setting to Games We Played / Ben Slabak. I think Ben was the one who wrote the comic, and hired two artists (as GWP).

Ben Slabak founded Australian software publisher Spectrum Pacific. I believe that SP acted as Webfoot's distributor in Australia, like how when you see the Epic MegaGames catalogues there are lots of country specific worldwide agents.

Games We Played is Ben's new company, but he also publishes and writes original sci-fi comics (they're mentioned as extra add-on rewards in the kickstarter), so I guess it felt natural to combine the two interests.

There is a separate GWP kickstarter for a re-release of Interpose in a big box, alongside Inner Worlds, Yendorian Tales, Slicks & Slide and Assault Trooper, but it isn't active yet. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gameswep … s-new-big-boxes

(Afaict Interpose was originally pressed cdrom only with no manual or box? It also had a digital download release with no 3d cutscenes.)
