Ok, gather round everyone! Annabelle doesn't have proper internet access at the moment, but I've been chatting to her sporadically over the last couple of days, and we have a couple of announcements to make - some good news, and some, well, bad news.

Let's have the good news first: we started this project with a very simple idea in mind - but over the last few weeks things have gone a lot better than we were expecting. So much so that we've decided to turn it into a really serious project. For the next couple of months we're both basically going to keep working on this fulltime and see what happens

With that, though, we have some bad news. We're not going to have anything for the contest deadline. We talked about releasing a short demo, but anything we released at this point would probably be a bit of a let down. We both have big plans for this game, and we just don't think it's ready yet - like Annabelle said way back on the third page, we want this to be magical and polished the first time everyone plays it!

We may have a teaser trailer sometime next week, but I'm not promising anything

Alright then. Thanks for the encouraging comments, everyone I can't wait to play all the other entries to this contest!

[Melly]

Good luck to you two! Glad to see you guys are making something really awesome out of this. Don't worry though, there will most probably be a cathegory in the secondary awards for "Most promissing entry that didn't make it". Who knows, maybe you guys will win something.

But by the gods you guys are simply going to kill us with anticipation now.

Oh, and Cactus, no more pressure, you can get back to work.

Also, this isn't XNA, is it? Please tell me so!

[Terry]

Thanks, appreciate the support I can't wait to show the trailer, actually - there's a central feature in the game I've wanted to talk about for ages. It'll be really interesting to see what people think of it!

Also, this isn't XNA, is it? Please tell me so!

Heavens, no. It doesn't even support OpenGL rendering yet

[Melly]

Thank all the gods. I'm really getting a hatred for both my computer for not being able to properly install .NET and Microsoft for not realising XNA compatibility is the biggest pile of BS I've seen in a good while.

Good luck! So do you think you're going to end up charging monies for it?

Does this mean that Annabelle won't be returning to us yet? She's pretty much disappeared while she's been working on this

[Terry]

Dunno. Haven't really talked about that. I guess if it goes well enough, maybe

Does this mean that Annabelle won't be returning to us yet? She's pretty much disappeared while she's been working on this

I'm sure she'll be back soon

[Pip]

We are waiting to transfer the monies

[Terry]

This is not enough golds

[Xion]

You have managed to deliver incredibly wonderful and incredibly terrible news at once.
But it's all for the better I suppose.

Better be awesome though. Or else.

Wow Annabelle. That's rather dedicated- traveling for your internets. With no car. Or shoes. In a foot of snow. And bears.

We're sorry to hear of the emergency. Hope everything's alright.

Oh yes, by the way, edges schmedges. Whatever you and Terry have planned for us, well, we're sure of the awesome. Keep it up, you guys!

Well, my entry will suck then. Its with .NET and OpenGL.

Annabelle once punched a bear right in the face for messing up her seed ratio.

The internet is serious business.

I heard Annabelle can rip bears in half with her smile.

[Melly]

Bears? Pfft! I hear she can do it with WHALES! And raptors, damn speedy bastards, stealing mah tea and cookies.

[siiseli]

I came

[Jrsquee]

This is… the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

I want, nay - NEED more.  I need it like a drowning man needs air!

[andy wolff]

more.  I need it like a drowning man needs air!

drowning men don't need air. they just need less water and less dead than normal men.

[BenH]

This is looking very pretty, it looks like an explore-y kind of platformer!

[medieval]

Annabelle, are you as pretty as your pixel art?

Because, well, wow.
