Credits Posted for I Love Bees

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-zapper-weisman-for-sr-fans dept.

Ryan Barrett writes "Credits have been posted for the I Love Bees alternate reality game. As many suspected, its puppetmasters included Sean Stewart, Jordan Weisman, and Elan Lee, who created the game The Beast for the movie AI. Many of the principle members of Cloudmakers also participated, one of whom was the voice of Melissa. Sean, Jordan, and Elan have founded a company, 4orty2wo Entertainment, to continue producing ARGs. I don't know about you, but I'm very excited."

    It doesn't really refer to Halo 2 gameplay, but it fits into the mythos. The Libary has the full story.

    To summarize the relevant connecting parts, a UNSC ship in 2552 gets a Covenant virus on them, finds a Forerunner artifact just floating in space, and falls through a hole in slipspace. Part of the ship's AI, along with the virus, went back in time and landed on this website; the other part went onto a server on the Earth of 2552. As it turns out, the brain used to create Melissa was from a former Spartan-II and the sister of one of the I Love Bees characters.
