OK, I am always a little afraid posting pre alpha screencaps, we have a lot of tweaking to do (including colors), but I think this is a good start.

Please note that the action button area will probably be modified in the next few days.

EDIT:  I should mention that Ed is battling Prina, Princess from Vega 7B, and president of the VRA Silver Stars Fanclub.

The production team showed me a demo yesterday and it was nice!  There’s still a few snags, as expected, but progress certainly shows.  Below is a screen capture of one of the puzzle games.  Note the character emotional states!  Yes, the emotions change as you start winning or losing.  Nice touch, eh?

Production Team- Thanks for the hard work!

It took a while, but I finally got a flash ad up on http://www.akiba-station.com

I will also post it here.

Things are starting to fall into place.  I’ll be uploading a new flash banner soon, and in a few days we should have a demo that will go to Japan.  It will probably take a bit longer, but we might even release a demo on this site, so stay tuned.

Professor Seta is one of Galactic Civilization’s most respected authorities on Earth. Having visited Earth many times doing covert field anthropology, she has an incredible appetite for studying the diverse cultures of Mother Terra. Professor Seta played a critical role in the decision to bring Earth into Galactic Civilization. Her book on Earth was one of the most popular downloads of last year, spawning a renewed interest in all things Earth. She has been assigned the important task of helping to train Prince Edward ed Larson of Sol 3.

Spent all weekend working, literally about 12 hours a day.  I now have enough production assets to start creating things like the splash screen and the main menu.  I now have the basic art for Elika, Kindee and Liora.  I also have the character art for Ed and Seta.  That leaves Briel, as well as a few headshots for Calen, Prina, Ben and Tina.  I saw the roughs for the SD versions of Prina and Ed, which also means that I will have enough to generate the assets for pretty much 1/3 of the game’s playthrough.  I also got a new dump of the code.

I have been generating a lot of the UI elements this weekend.  When I get a chance I will try and clean things up and post something so that I have more than text.  Very exciting.

Anime Expo 2008 starts today… Without us.  As the production side works furiously to complete the art and the coding, the marketing folk (OK, it’s just me and my split personalities) don’t have much to do but cross off days on the calendar and be cheerleaders. 

Go Team Go!

It hurts to “miss” the opportunity to drop off postcards at AX (and FanimeCon and Project A-Kon, etc.), but I have to be realistic.  It’s better to have something people can see and touch and our modest postcard budget might get lost in a sea of crap at the big shows.  In any case, it remains my challenge to make the best of it!

Code Team, Code!  Draw Artists, Draw!  Go Team, Go! Ganbare!! =D
