Slightly different update for this Saturday - some manga style sketches! We've been talking to a very talented manga artist and he's created a few new character sketches for My Giants. Let us know what you think!

Guess who's ready for prime time TV? Nick the Robot! We've given him a test in the game and he performs fantastically both in the browser and on the iPad 2, so we are giving him even more screen time with this wallpaper. Enjoy!

I really like the look of this.
When you say childhood memories and kids playing around, I think of the one thing that's fantastic about being a kid and that's imagination.
You can basically turn anything into anything.. A banana becomes a gun, a teddy bear becomes a rock giant and an old cardboard box becomes a time-machine.
Not sure if this is what you're intending with your game, but I really like that idea, theme-wise.
And I also think that would make for some interesting mechanics, using imagination as a resource to turn regular things into fantastic things.

And if this game includes building stuff like forts, then I'm already a fan

[Pepwuper]

Thanks for the comment Seiseki!

Imagination is definitely a big part of this project - we've all remembered those afternoons after school when we daydreamed about monsters and our super hero friends. We probably won't be using imagination as a resource right now but love your ideas!

As for building stuff....  We want to do it too, but can we make it into the game? That remains to be seen...
