Remember how we said something about the full version of the game being released in September? Yeah well, I remember that too. To be honest I don't think we can meet our own September deadline.
School's really heavy this semester for some inexplicable reason. There's always the routine contract work. And I'm just trying to do up as much SFX for the games and working with TY on the animations for the supers. I crash everynight at 2am and wake up stoned at 7 in the morning.
Anyway, I don't want to leave you guys in the dark so here's what TYLER's been up to for the past month...
Last week, TY and I did a conference call to Sydney to get our game published with Trymedia. They're going to let us use their SDK to package the premium version of the game.
We got our first big contract from Sony. Unfortunately it wasn't for making a game but a contest webportal rather. Who knows, it might eventually lead us to Sony Computer Entertainment Division.
I also met a guy from the Singapore Lucas Arts Studio last Friday. He agreeded to have a look at the Mobile Weapon BETA. I sure hope he doesn't judge the game by the BETA cos we've got lots more coming in the final version.
Speaking of which I promise I'll post the pictures of one of the supers as soon as we have one completed from start to finish. Just so you know why we're taking the time to do our best work on the full version before we release it.
* Update 22/9
I should be able to get some grant from MDA (Media Development Authority) for our game which should cut our costs in half, and speed up our development. Hopefully I can get that done after my mid-term exams next week and week after.
Realistically, I think end of October or early Novemeber will be the likely release date. I need to take a day to have re-evaluate our production timeline then I can announce the official date.
We don't want to release it too late either because we don't want you guys to miss being able to play it during the school breaks for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Let me just say there is NO WAY the game gets released any later than November.

Oh well, these things happen. But as far as the Beta goes, it's awesome! I can't wait to see what the full version looks like!
Supers are like overdrive moves? More powerful moves you can only perform if you take the time to charge your meter to 125%.
I can't estimate a good release date till after this weekend.
dude, we need more! the BETA is so damn good and we only got a small bit of the game, do you know if we'll get an update on here sometime soon? im achin to go further on the game.
The full game will be even better. More stuff and more game balance.
We don't want to disappoint you guys by taking too long.
But it would be worse if we rushed the game out incomplete. That would be even more disappointing.
I wanted to leave a kind comment by saying the work you have done so far, is marvelous. I am an expert MMORPG/RPGer,
and what i have seen so far on the beta is that the certain factor required to make a game addictive and extremely interesting is present here.
Also, the uniqueness is one of a kind,
the team working on this has truly taken a new path in the RPG field.
The game somehow reminds me of Armored Core, only in RPG style.
I am deeply impressed, and awaiting to see more of this artwork.
You guys are fantastic !
I envy the team ^_^
Please don't feel pressured by the players, I think i'm talking for everyone when saying we are more then glad to wait for the team to perfect the game no matter how long it will take. All that matters is your continuation to complete it with every little detail in mind.
Yours truly,
Sephiroth
sweet, even if i have to restart my game it will be totally worth it. ooh, can't wait after you guys explained to us gaming fans about all your works!!
gujjjj
