Twelve years has brought me to this point.
It was twelve years ago that I created the concept called Centauri Dawn back when this site was called CNX. The concept was that three warriors (the dual-faced warrior, the metallic golem, and the wingless angel) united to take on the mechanized army of a madman who was responsible for the ruined planet.
Simple premise, yes? The thing is, I've been playing with Centauri Dawn for a dozen years, creating other projects, refining others, but I've always come back to Centauri, updating, eliminating, and recreating the world from the ground up.
Twelve years I've been developing this series. Now I think it's time to make it a reality. Starting Thursday, October 11, I'm launching my first webcomic, Centauri, a sci-fi action-adventure series.
Here's the synopsis. Just imagine Peter Cullen reading these words:
The year is 41 UC.
Twenty years have passed since the Dawn invasion nearly decimated the planet. The world became unified in rebuilding the planet. The world's governments have rebuilt larger cities into a futuristic technological utopia. Those against the clandestine organization responsible for the creation of this brave new world have formed their own interconnected territories built from the remaining ruins.
Those within the ruins are monitored by mechanical sentinels known as Centauri. Originally built to serve mankind in menial tasks, the current generation of Centauri, considered rogue, altered variants by the government, have become the corporate oppressors of those within the ruins, threatening to destroy their homes and communities. Ten years after they came to power, the Centauri became the symbol of oppression, and a rebellion was born, built on a prophecy that three warriors known as The Primes would restore the order of the planet and protect the innocents that remain in the few territories of the new Urth.
The first Prime, the rumored "dual-faced avenger," has revealed himself to the rebellion and the corporation that now rules the world. A masked fighter with phenomenal, almost alien strength and abilities, he is The Duality, and he will take on any challenge, no matter how dangerous they are. He's the First Prime, but he's not the last.
The X Bridge and Studio Lightcount presents Chapter One of Centauri beginning Thursday, October 11, 2012 only at The X Bridge with a new page every Wednesday evening starting October 17. A production blog will be presented beginning Friday, September 17 also on The X Bridge when the site officially relaunches.
The revolution will be digitized.

Next Wednesday, another announcement, but I need to keep the details to that one under wraps for the moment. I have a lot of work to do. Keep creating.
