We’re gonna try something interesting today! Katie and I are working on some new concept art, and you can watch her side of it.
If this proves to be interesting, we may do it again.

Here’s a peek at some in-game art. This is a book that has a lot of significance to Marian and the game in general… but that’s all I’m saying for now.

Design by Ashley Dumonchelle, Textures by Justin Messner, Model by Liem Nguyen.
It’s been a while! We’ve been super busy working on the game. We’ve made a ton of progress and haven’t stopped making radical changes. (most recent of which happened over the last week, no less)
BUT we’d like to save a lot of what we’re doing so that we can present it to you in one big WHAP! of awesome.
In the meantime though, we have some new concept art for you: (chez Katie de Sousa)

…and some Skype meeting antics here.
Enjoy!
One of my dreams came true today: landing an interview on CBC Radio.

CBC = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation – similar to NPR in the states. I grew up listening to CBC Radio Winnipeg, both for news and local information but also for the funky radio plays they’d run on Sunday nights.
To me the CBC is a big part of Canada’s cultural identity, and since we have very little of that, it’s also really important. It was a really cool to have the opportunity to be a small part of it and see what goes on behind the “magic”.

‘Cause radio really does seem kind of magical to me… Voices transmitted through air right to your ears – originating in a tiny room, yet crossing vast distances. Epic stuff.
You can listen to the interview here: (big thanks to Kert for recording it!)

Also: a big thank you to Jamie and Lisanne for hooking me up.
Now to work on my next dream: getting on radio again somehow.
So I showed up on TIGRadio last night, talking about Marian, the Humble Indie Bundle and a number of other interesting topics! If you’re interested, you can check out the archives at TIGRadio.com. (direct link)
If you haven’t heard of the Humble Indie Bundle yet, (how is that possible?) then you should definitely check it out. Pay anything you want for 6 awesome indie games, including Aquaria – and part of your contribution will go to the EFF and Child’s Play charities as well.
The site also features real-time stats, and a couple secrets…
Also: check out the responses to last week’s post about “Self-Management” – there are some interesting thoughts:
