I know that it’s been a while since the last update, but bear with us. Jdoging and I are working on making a playable demo for release soon. It is in the early stages of development currently, but it’s coming along. Considering that most of the kids working on the project are in college, we are making good progress. It takes a while to produce a successful game. Please let us know on the forums if you are interested in helping with development. Thanks.

Hey, Tykara again
Okay, so it’s been… August, September, October… Almost 3 months since the last post!
I’ve tried harassing the the guys to post something on here, but they don’t - and Jdoging always complains about being bored. Hun, you could always keep the Blog up-to date, or let people in on the progress of the game or something. But whatever.
I just wanted to let everyone know, that i might just take over the blog - plain and simple. I’m pretty much the only one that’s using it. pcmantinker had posted the first post, but hasn’t touched it since; Men *sigh*
Anyway. Kefka and I have been working hard as we can on the story line and have gotten pretty far in it. At leas i think so. I could be totally wrong and we aren’t even half way through.
I know that Joding and pcmantinker, have talked about working out a Demo. I’ll take to one of those two at some poin.
There’s a few things coming to the forum soon hopefully. Like Questions or something, since i had suggested a Q&A board so we can answer questions for people… if that works at all i don’t know. Again gotta talk to Jdoing and pcmantinker. Those two are sometimes near impossible to get a hold of, i swear.
Then again, the whole game team isn’t even there if you think about it. Because we’ve a number of people that are supposed to be working on the forum - well, i never see them online or even participating in anything. Not looking for people, not posting on the forum. I really think it’s just myself, Jdoing, pcmanticker and Kefka who are still working on the game. I’ve posted on the fourm asking for the people involved with the game to give me some info. It was only those 3 that gave me anything. I might have to take a drastic measures. After all, behind every grate man, is a woman who got him there; and i happen to be the woman behind all these men! Yeesh!
Anyway, i’ll leave it at that, i’ll start posting more for the Team since everyone else is not willing. Or maybe i’ll make Kefka post once in a while lol. We’ll see.
Caio!

Hey Everyone, It’s Tykara here.
Incase no one knows who I am. I’m am currently one of two Authors working on a work in Progress on IGA. I also help the Admins, by being G-Mod the forum. But to be fair, I’m not as active as the others but i do try my best. I’m also the ONLY female on the team - lucky me right? Not really. {Please laugh} The guys I’m working with can be very annoying to try and get a hold of when i need them, but most guys are never around when you need them. Anyway…
Now since that was my intro, I had best explain things for far. Myself and my friend Kefka have been writing the story-line and plot for the game that we are currently working on. There is a name, hanging over the game, but my lips are sealed as to what the game shall be called. There are a few things that are currently missing, but we hope to have those holes filled by the time the story is finished and programming can start. Now please, don’t ask my any questions on the programing because I have, honestly, no idea how that type of thing works. I don’t even know what they are going to use to make this game! So you’d have to talk to Jdoging, Pmantinker, and Acherion to know the details. I’m dumb you could say! {And yes, you’re supposed to laugh with me}
Okay, the game… You’ll have a choice between playing a male or a female character. It’s an RPG fantasy type of thing, but there are going to be a lot of twists and turns and puzzles, to make sure that it doesn’t remain dull and boring. Pmantinker was hoping to have everything finished by the summer, and by everything I mean the storyline and the plot… HA! Sorry hun, i don’t think so! Especially since i don’t see Kefka to often during the summer, and we’re not very far into the game either. We just managed to get to the 3rd chapter, but I’m still far from completion, and no sorry, I’m not going to say how many chapters there are. But if you are interesting in checking out the story progress and what we’ve done to date, you’ll have to join the forum and read under the ‘Story’ board for the current game in progress. The story I think is actually very interesting, unfortunately though I’m not very good with summaries, so I’d have to get someone to help me with that, so I’d be able to give everyone who reads this a proper idea of the game mechanics.
I can tell you this though, that the battle system is going to be Turn Base - if you don’t know the meaning behind that, it’s basically taking turns. Your team attacks and then the Monster does; it’s actually very simple, and for a first game, it is probably a better way to go. It’s also going to be in 2D, but again, for a first game, that’s probably a safe route until everyone gets a general idea of how to make games!
So, yeah. I think this is a good start, and I hope to have more story updates for you, as soon as i can get them out! Its just i can be a little slow at my writing and since i finished chapter 2, I haven’t exactly picked it back up, but i do hope to do so soon! And I hope Pmantinker and the others don’t get mad at me for neglecting my job, but i can’t work under pressure!
Anyway, I’m signing off and maybe the others will have something for you!
Ciao!
