Hey June, Don't Make it Bad



June is here in force and so are we along with many other fine OELVN devs. In the above are Nadia (or Nadya for fellow true believers, by Skrats) and Kara (as a "Piano Witch," by Eyedrop) from an art thing we did with the fine gents at CannonGirls Studio, and judging by the source of much of the blog's traffic, most of you already know that. If not, here's their blog where you can yell at FabulousResults for not giving that particularly well developed blonde pictured above her own route like I do every day.

As far as progress goes, our writing is going well as of late. Act 1 is currently at about 23,287 words ready and formatted with another 14k or so awaiting formatting and about 4k more in need of writing. As you can see, Act 1 is looking at about at least 40k words after we put in the necessary revisions, which feels pretty good, especially considering we have had to throw out a lot more than that to get to this point.

Art is also progressing, though not quite as quickly as the writing is, and the lineart for at least half of the sprites is finished, and the CG is still in development. Music is currently on hiatus, so we'll see how that ends up later. Needless to say, if you're interested in doing art or music, we're also interested.

I was talking about a "Days 1 and 2" demo back in may, and after some internal discussion there, it may or may not happen because it might just make more sense to focus on releasing the demo than a sort of proto-demo. But that will now, at this point, largely depend on 2 factors: How quickly our art and music develops, and how quickly PFM gets into the Planetside 2 BETA. Do you have any strong feelings on the matter? If so, drop by and yell at us, or leave a comment here.

Other than that, I'll be making some small modifications to the blog over the next few weeks and shooting for more weekly updates.
