Castaway Stories: The Birth of Temple Curry

[strangetomato]

I'm still playing with Castway Stories, and I've been having a blast playing with Orson Curry, the famed anthropologist on Wanmami Island, and Linnea Wilson, his intrepid pilot friend. Since Orson's a knowledge sim, I used him to test out the alien abductions in CS.

Here's some shots of the cut scene for his delivery.














I named her Temple. (If you can figure out why, I'll give you a cookie.) Can you believe this is one of the only times I've ever watched this cut scene? I'll have to do it again. It's super cute. I'm a little bummed out that I forgot to drop Phobia's alien eye defaults into the dowloads folder before the birth, but what can you do? I added them after and they worked just fine, but it was a bit late for the cut scene.

I'm thinking of working some of this into the next S,HWC update, what with the alien pollinating going on. I also have a way to tie it back to Veronaville, which is where I'm heading for the next chapter.

Is Temple named after the character from Faulker's 'Sanctuary'?

Sorry it took me forever to respond to this.

That's a good guess, but not correct. The key to the answer lies in the fact that Orson is an anthropologist and made a trip into outer space. You might say he was an Anthropologist on (insert planet name here). ;) Temple is named after the subject of that piece of writing, by a favourite non-fiction author of mine, who focuses on neurological oddities. Temple's namesake is also a hero of mine, who's also an author who focuses on neurology, and autism specifically.

But now I've said far too much.
