We are all pleased to announce the work on the Drepanaspis has been completed
Burgess Shale is a short-lived webcomic hosted on Scratch by user @Hawqua_of_Imber.After her ship malfunctions and kills two government officials, Atrypta is sent to the ancient artificial planet of Imex. The people sent are tasked with salvaging whatever remains of the construction to build a Dyson sphere. Now, she must find a way off Imex before it dies in darkness.
The comic only lasted one episode of eleven pages. It can be read here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/313282350/
Burgess Shale contains examples of:
- Artificial Gravity: The Drepanaspis is launched on a platform in space, yet the lack of gravity is hardly problematic.
- Deliberately Monochrome: The artwork is done entirely in shades of green.
- The Empire: Ebeno is a planet controlled by an interplanetary empire.
- Standard Alien Spaceship: Being based on a fish, the Drepanaspis has an organic appearance.
- Theme Naming: All characters are named after brachiopod genera (Atrypta, Glyptoria, etc).
