40 Stories is a puzzle game where you must create duplicates of yourself to escape 40 challenging floors. It is being developed by 88 Chico State University students in the Applied Computer Graphics, Computer Science, and Recording Arts departments. In 40 Stories, you play as Anita Hent, a disgruntled technical support employee who is on a mission to leave her office. In Anita’s haste, she runs into the megalomaniacal Professor Darius McDoogle, who zaps her with his reality altering Quantum Stabilizer, which then gives Anita the power to clone herself. Anita must now traverse her ever changing office building with the help of her very own Fanboy and escape McDoogle’s grasp.

TL DR: Very few people to work on during summer. Frequency of updates to start around September.

First of all, I would like to say thanks to everyone interested in 40 Stories. If you didn't know, we are a students in the Applied Computer Graphics department (and other departments) at Chico State University working on this game and plan on finished at the end of this year. Unfortunately, because of summer availability, communication, and other factors, we aren't doing much at the time being. We plan on releasing a more polished alpha demo sometime soon as well as some more videos and screenshots. I promise to post everything new and exciting we come up with as we make it. Until then, BULLETPOINTS!

Some Things We Are Planning
- 40 levels
- 5 unique level themes
- Challenge levels that keep your time and amount of clones you use
- Full (almost) voice acting
- Low system requirements (works on 8-year old video cards so far)

Fun Facts About Chico State's Applied Computer Graphics Department
