Thank you all for the wonderful comments and support over the years! What started out as a small college passion project has reached so many more people than I ever thought it would. One day I would love to return to the format and knowing there's an audience keeps that motivation going for me!

@TerryTerius 7 лет назад

It was worth mentioning that even if Rapture had worked as intended, it would have had some debatably serious flaws. Andrew Ryan's vision was largely for a purely capitalist society. Which has some interesting implications. Services like the police would have been based on a subscription fee, there was no public education, and so on. It was his own ideology that started the downfall of rapture. Because it necessitated castigating the poor and less successful, which made the rise of Frank even easier. Really, he created the conditions in the first place. Maybe it would have been a utopia, but only for the rich.

Kinda hard to screw up one of the very few true classic games if you stick firmly to its boundaries & not try to skew it to a different message, bioshock & dead space 1’s (& more or less 2’s, both 3’s hubastink) are arguably the greatest games ever made & will be known as the high water mark, it’s all going to pot now

I found your work after replaying the Bioshock Collection again earlier this year and have been listening to this audiodrama as I fall to sleep for months now. I introduced it to my friend and she loves it! This is one of my favorite audiodramas, the atmosphere, audio quality, and overall presentation is what I hold everything else I listen to against. I crave more projects like this.

@judeskater93 9 лет назад

Oh man, the first fifteen minutes in this radio drama and I love it!!! The description they gave as they looked at the details of the area is amazing, and the voices for the characters and the acting is pretty good! This is one of the many reasons why I'm glad I'm a bioshock fan, the ideas of bioshock and the ideas people get from bioshock are fantastic!!!

@mywifesboyfriend5558 3 месяца назад

Fun fact: Even if Rapture had not fallen, it still would've crumbled and fell apart eventually. Andrew Ryan had Rapture built from Aluminum, which does not handle the ocean's pressures as well as Steel. The whole structure was unsafe from the start. Without constant maintenance from Big Daddies, the entire city would be little more than dilapidated buldings and rubble by the 1980's. The water would've flooded into virtually every space, rendering the city completely uninhabitable. The submersibles would be inoperable with no power going to them. Not even the splicers would survive. That said, many artifacts from Rapture would've floated up to the surface. Still, it would make a cool game for Bioshock 4, which we will likely never get.

This is absolutely fantastic. Great effects and mix and engaging acting as well. Though I thought Fontaine was a bit over the top (I almost expected him to break into a villanous laughter). I think that would be the only thing I can see as a minus in an otherwise perfect production.

@MasterOfTheLemons 2 года назад

This is an AMAZING audio production. I knew nothing about Bioshock before this and had no interest in learning about its world. The incredible voice work, perfect pacing, and ingenious found-footage framework of this two parter totally sucked me in. Fontaine is my favorite character, his voice actor hit it out of the PARK. Cunning and sly, slow paced and thoughtful, but still with total mobster energy. I LOVE Ryan too, he's commanding and compelling but he also doesn't have the deepest voice or most masculine tone; sounds like just little enough of a man that he'd have something to prove. Perfect for a guy who's obsessed with demonstrating the superiority of mankind through achievement and personal strength. In my head, he's literally Henry Ford with a mustache. Bill is also wonderful. His voice exudes humility and decency in every word he speaks. I listened to the whole 12 hour audiobook this is based upon, and while the original is great and adds a lot of extra context, I would NOT have gotten so into this story with the audiobook alone. You selected the very best parts and condensed it into a thrilling, captivating three hour epic. I feel like VERY little was lost from the book, and the story here is SUPER coherent and stands on its own, even apart from the games, which I still haven't played out watched on yt. I am enraptured by your Rapture. You could say I found myself thoroughly... Immersed.

@petewilliams.1122 11 месяцев назад

Caution - there's no such thing as a nice Splicer, around every corner, behind every door one of these crazed darlings is waiting - usually with a lead pipe in hand! This radio drama will give those who've never played the computer game a feel for what awaits them. It really is a spooky, atmospheric and well made production. Bioshock truly is 'the' video FPS that everybody should 'dive' into. Your choices 'become' you, with that in mind play with a mature head on your shoulders 'would you kindly'!

@dannhaleigh9573 7 лет назад

Spencer Richardson Yeah I could tell, a lot of passion went into it. It is one of the great video game narratives of our time for sure and having read the John Shirley novel, I appreciated both the dialogue and some of the character back stories from the novel incorporated with the in-game content. I felt it really gelled nicely to make it this sprawling, cohesive narrative. Love the attention to detail with the accents/dialects though with Fontaine's thick Bronx accent, Bill's cockney likability and of course Suchong's trademark speech style. Looking forward to part 2 dude!

From the few clips I saw from the game, it does indeed sound like Rapture went from an art deco Atlantis to an almost totally abandoned metropolis that gives off shades of Raccoon City.
