Control of Destiny Series
Control
of Destiny Series, or CoD Series for short - a series of computer
games created by micronationalists Bill Dusch and [[Harvey
Steffke]], and their micronational company BGI. The series in
particular refers to the following games in sequential plot order:
1. Control of Destiny 1
2. Control of Destiny 2
3. Jasonia - The Dark One
4. Jasonia - The Light of Hope
5. Control of Destiny 3
The series is heavily based on micronations and partially based on
Chrono Trigger. The concept of time, especially time travel and
dimensional travel, is significant to the series as well. The series
follows a pattern of more-significant opponents; As the series
continues, the major enemy of the party tends to be more of a threat to
the Universe, peaking at Control of Destiny 3 with the nemesis of Fate.
There are also related games that are not part of the official CoD
Series, but are still related to the universe of the Control of Destiny
Series:
- Nightcrash
- The Final Hope
- Outpost
- Apollo Tournament
- The Time Distortionist
Only one game of the series was actually completed (Jasonia - The Dark
One); the rest of the games were left as demos, or not released to the
public microworld at all. However, the general plots of the games were
still thought out and retain significance in the religion of
Soloralism, as well as the cultures of the [[Flying Islands of
Jasonia]] and Menelmacar.
The Control of Destiny series is also partially the basis for the
religion of Soloralism and its more fundamental secular sister,
Apolloism.
