Howdy all! Sorry the diary entries have been kind of sparse lately. Scott and I have been keeping our Andromedan noses to the grind stone (ouch!) but hope to get better at bringing you the latest stuff on our progress. We’re both really excited about the story, characters and situations we’ve cooked up for Ace & company and we will start tossing out more tantalizing tidbits in the coming days. speaking of which, here’s a tasty morsel for you all to speculate on. 😉 More to come very soon.

Here’s an early test for Rooter, Ace’s companion and “walking toolbox” (sans final texture detailing). Scott and I both think this little mutt is going to steal the show for sure and we have a lot in store for him as a playable character.
Here’s one of the many characters Scott and I are fleshing out- Ace’s cantankerous, but loveable mentor. I find that the more I work a character design to try and refine it, the more I tend to lose *something* that was captured in that first visceral stab (rough sketch). So I’m leaving this guy alone. he’s perfect and I can’t wait to bring him to life!
How about some name suggestions?
Sometimes I just have to break out the Sculpey and model something with my hands. It helps me think. In this case, I’m thinking about Ace and what makes him tick. This is also for use as a drawing aid. I hope to make the time to model his whole body at some point, then pour some resin casts. Ace bobble heads anyone?
Ah… much better. he needed more chin action.
Busily working away on two fronts currently: Story and Engine R&D. Cheers! More to show coming soon.

Hey gang! Thought we’d give you just a pinhole glimpse of the online corkboard Scott and I are test driving – a place for us to throw all our ideas for piecing together the story, character development and puzzle ideas. We’ll be revealing more as things progress, naturally. Also, we are evaluating various tools and game engine tech and are very excited about the direction things are going.
