Quick update here. We now have a fair amount of pages of script and we're waiting after art so programming begins... And now we're on a little pause because it's end of semester exams and everything.

But the Julosoft server is expiring real soon, plus we would like to get the game on Steam Greenlight and port this to Xbox 360, but I can't afford none of them alone right now, so you might want to donate. Plus you get the game for free with a Steam key (if it gets greenlighted) when it gets out!

Blog post explaining why you should donate.

EDIT: Early birds will alpha test!

Yeah, server issues solved. And now we're in a complete lack of artists. We need artists so it can continue.

Bumpity Bumpity Bump!

Sorry, nope.

Actually I thought about it while I wrote about cancelling Project Thundercloud: The Game and/or if something happens to that franchise like a C&D from Hasbro. The idea of Zarmina is still on the backburner, ready to be developed on when the time will come. (Yeah, I realized it was kinda too big for me when I came up with this, so I decided to pause it and get back to it later when I'm ready.)

Meanwhile, some design notes: I liked how I did the 2D/3D mix in the Project Thundercloud game demo (which is the same concept Playerdotexe used in the movies), so I might want to do the same in Zarmina, some sort of 2D characters/3D backgrounds mix (or vice-versa). I'd also need to expand some more on the universe. I already have quite a few characters: Miyuki, the main character, Daisuke, the childhood friend, the old wizard/priest, Neil and Edwin, the first pair of astronauts from Earth who came on Zarmina via warp drives, crashing into Miyuki's backyard... Yeah, I'd probably rewrite the premise and write about it...

Also if you wanna help, please do so. I'll need some 2D/3D animators/artists and maybe some ideas too! (I feel like I'm on a writer's block since years. But artists will definitely be useful.)

EDIT: Yeah it's totally what I'm doing right now, I'm (re)writing a pitch bible for Zarmina with a few new ideas I just came up with.

YAY! I'd be glad to help with spriting, and I might be able to get XiiDraco to do the 3D, if he's interested.

So I'm currently at what is currently the Chapter 2 of that book, and I thought of that, this should be released with a soundtrack, so if you're good at art and/or music, you should be able to help.

My idea is that each chapter or so would be accompanied with its theme song. Don't think you can help yet, since I only wrote the beginning, but the basic idea is that you would write a song based on the story, kinda like if you were to write for a videogame soundtrack. Or the Homestuck soundtrack, if you know what I mean.

In short, Homestuck, which is a webcomic book or something, has a soundtrack and it's kind of the same principle.
