Good job Ryan

The programming team, Yoav (left), Rey & Andrew (not in picture), also finished the game engine and are now working on the Networking & GUI layers of the game. A very small closed alpha version is aimed to be playable at the end of this week.

Last, Derrick (right) has been planning marketing strategies to get this game out into the world (as described in the previous post). We plan on showcasing the game at Fanime in San Jose (May), Comic Con in San Diego (July), and Genesis in Antioch (July). Be there if you want goodies.

So we're making plans for going to Comic Con and advertising by giving away free t-shirts and stuff. The game is a week or so away from being playable, and we've got a new graphic designer, Boback, working on the graphical user interface. Hopefully we'll have some screenies up on our site when the game is working and we'll be able to put up a trailer shortly thereafter.

Need Coffee.....

After playing video games(smash) till 7:30 am....2/3rds of the programming team is up and working at noon. Its a tough life, but we love it

We all walked to our balcony to the sound of a Blue Phoenix honking as it got towed away. We said down to the tower, "Get owned Blue Phoenix". Also, the office plans on being beastly at Street Fighter 4.

Our thermostat is now working! It turns out the circuit breaker was just off for it. We also have new fire extinguishers and COFFEE! I wonder how long it will last... It's nite nite folks.

Signing off. -Kevin-
