Just curious about something,

I noticed that the ending of Level 13 was a little similar to something else. Like how the older Slacker covers had an Xbox logo on the controller, but the newer covers of Slacker don’t. Was the plot of Level 13 inspired by this?

Hi, mik,

Thanks for posting.

Nope. The plot of LEVEL 13 was inspired by a) the success of SLACKER, and 2) my own desire to explore how a gamer like Cameron Boxer might expand his devotion to gaming.

As for the ending being similar to something else, I'm not really sure what you're referring to. Sorry.
