Exciting news here in the studio as the first drafts of alien concept art arrived just before the weekend! The initial design is looking good with only a few minor changes being requested at this time. The artist, Mike, nearly hit on everything we wanted in the design after just one initial communication. Needless to say, everyone here is very pleased and are eager to see the next pass. For now, the first draft is remaining under wraps, but it might be shown to everyone at a later date.

The rest of the game design work progresses steadily, and we are looking to be almost six weeks ahead of schedule. This is happening even though a couple of sections have gone through a major rewrite before ever getting to the editor. Now that we have been doing this for a few years, things are getting easier as we figure out what works best along with some streamlining. Given that we are still expecting slow downs with the printing process, the extra time on the writing and design end will be invaluable. Keep checking back in here to find out how things are progressing, especially once we get into the second half of the year!
