[scene opens with a blocky grey robot speaking with a similarly-colored male figure with a moustache and top hat]
MAYOR: Library Bot Three-Thousand, you must go back in time, save Liberty Library, and make it the greatest library of all time!
LIBRARY BOT 3000: Beep.
MAYOR: Remember Library Bot, if you're spotted by the real librarian, it will cause a time paradox!
LIBRARY BOT 3000: Beeeeeep.
["WASD to move, Left and Right keys to turn, Space bar to shush" appears on screen, then cut to a first-person perspective of the player moves around a public library, taking books from the book return slot and reshelving them in the stacks]
["Warning! Paradox Imminent" appears on screen, as the player gets too close to the "human" librarian (another grey-colored jumble of polygons with a pair of glasses on his "face"), but is able to side-step the obstacle and make his way to the stacks]
["New Library Wing Opened" appears on screen, making the "Historical Accuracy" meter change from yellow to green (while the "Paradox Detector" stays empty), as the player continues shelving books and shushing laughing patrons as they walk by]
["New Library Wing Opened" again appears on screen, making the "Historical Accuracy" meter change from light blue to dark blue, as the player continues shelving books and shushing laughing patrons as they walk by]
["New Library Wing Opened" again appears on screen (as the "Historical Accuracy" meter is almost full), while the player continues shelving books and shushing laughing patrons as they walk by]
[the "Historical Accuracy" meters fills to the top, then cut to a reporter interviewing the librarian (as Library Bot peeks its head into the shot from the background)]
REPORTER: Liberty Library has become the world's greatest library today, and will hereby house all the documents in the entirety of the planet Earth! Mister Librarian, what would you attribute to the library's success?
LIBRARIAN: I have no idea, honestly. Business has just been booming these last few hours. It's amazing!
LIBRARY BOT 3000: Beeeeeep.

Super Librarian was an especially challenging project, as the entire game, start to finish, needed to be made in just 3 weeks, with myself as the sole developer. More challenging still, the game needed to be made in raw XNA, with only the half-finished Iridel providing engine functionality. Still, Super Librarian was successfully completed on-time.
After the initial three week development, an additional team was brought on to perform optimizations and create the HUD and intro/outro scenes. Sadly, I no longer have their names...if you worked on Super Librarian or know someone who did, please contact me so I can provide proper credit.
