About
Black Shuck is a Persistent Browser-Based Game (PBBG) based loosely upon Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" and various other incarnations of the afterlife in general. Different methods of game-play and world building are still in Alpha development stages.
Game Universe
Loosely based upon Dante Alighieri's “The Divine Comedy” (Dante's Inferno), Black Shuck immerses players into the afterlife where they must compete for supplies, land, fame, fortune... I'd say survival as well, but since characters are already dead, that's sort of irrelevant.

Development Team
- Crux (Jodie) — I can still call myself a team if I'm just one person, right? I'm doing all of the coding and graphics at the moment.
- Various Alpha Testers — It's these guy's enthusiasm that keeps me going. ;]
- Maybe You? — If you think you can contribute to the site, and believe you have something to offer, let me know. At the moment we're looking for artists, writers, general support staff, and some more people to bounce ideas off of.
