Hi folks,

Wishing you the very best for the coming week from everyone at Rusty Towers!

Thank you for your patience with the delay in this week’s newsletter! Our team members are now feeling much better and back to usual – working on creating and sharing incredible podcasts for you all to enjoy!

Firstly, we hope you all enjoyed last week’s Twitch stream with Alex and Jonny, celebrating the release of the pilot preview for The Magnus Protocol. If you missed it, you can still watch it on Twitch – just be aware it contains a lot of spoilers for the pilot episode of The Magnus Protocol. You can watch it in full on Twitch here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1972056284. Alternatively, we’ll be uploading the VOD onto our YouTube channel in the next week or so.

Meanwhile, we are busy preparing for the launch of Neon Inkwell next week! As well as gearing up for sharing the first few episodes with you, we’re currently hard at work with some extremely talented performers in Australia, recording upcoming series that will be featured on the Neon Inkwell feed, Welcome to Fosters. The first series featured on the feed is Of That Colossal Wreck, a science fiction horror written by Sasha Sienna and Jonathan Sims and directed by Maxamilian John (Definitely Human). What horrors do they have in store for us? We’ll find out next week.

As a reminder for some of our newer subscribers, Of That Colossal Wreck is ideal for fans of The Magnus Archives, blending Jonny’s unique brand of horror with Sasha’s creative world building, perfect for fans of the Aliens franchise and the video game Prey. It follows a group of people who wake up on an abandoned space station. Unsure of their purpose, they have more to contend with than just survival in the depths of space…

In front of the sky is part of the Neon Inkwell logo, which has a frosted glass effect, with many colours ranging from purples to yellows and reds. In the centre is a diamond shape, with ink splashes resembling a Rorschach test. At the top, in white, stylised capital letters are the words ‘Neon Inkwell’. Below that is the title: Of That Colossal Wreck. Under this in the foreground are three square photos of the key crew behind the show. From left to right are: Creator: Jonathan Sims (he/him), Creator: Sasha Sienna (he/she/they). Director: Maxamillian John (he/him).)

We also have an incredible cast to bring the show to life. You’ll recognise Aaron-Louis Cadogan and Ellie Dickens from their parts in Cry Havoc! Ask Questions Later, and we’re delighted to introduce Catherine Luff, Hannah Raymond-Cox, Kate Sketchley and Euan Shedden.
