We hope everyone is enjoying their holiday; we sure are! We worked very hard to meet the contract, and finished it, and now we are taking a much-needed break!

As we mentioned before, the contract will end sometime in spring of next year. When it ends, we will be able to release the demo, which has already been completed.

Keep watch after the holidays, we want to release it as SOON as possible and show you our work!

We've mentioned before that we have been looking into some bigger ventures, and after months of going through them, one of them has actually hit.

We're all actually in shock about it, we didn't expect it to amount to anything and it did!

That said, this will put a delay on all of our planned releases until next year. Part of the agreement is to work on someone else's time schedule, and we're not allowed to say anything at all about its nature until they determine it's okay, which is going to be approximately Spring 2013.

Thanks so much for sticking with us and supporting us...it's gotten us to this point and we're really proud!

New videos out!

Sorry for the delay! We have three new videos of Mitsumata game play!

These first two are early scenes in the game that are nearly complete. We just want to test a few more effects and the parallax background in-story. There is now music!

Ths is the updated platformer, with its new moving background! We're still working on smoothing it out, but hopefully we'll have a great look soon!

Stay tuned for more information!

So one of the things we've been doing here is refining the game's art and animation so that we can show it to a couple of companies who have been talking to us. It's the reason we decided to take so much extra time and work very slowly.

Here is a trailer we crafted to help with that, hope you enjoy!

We're still tweaking the platformer animation to work more smoothly, so stay tuned for that, and the demo!

We've been holding back quite a bit of new stuff since our last art update on Mitsumata!

Over the coming week, we'll have updated battle videos, updated platformer videos (you'll see why we specifically wanted to update these!), and images of the final menus, as well as images of lesser known characters who will show up, and a brand spanking new character we've been keeping mostly under our hat. We'll also have a little video teaser about the story toward the end of the week, and at the beginning of the coming month, a playable demo of the first part of the game!

The game is, as we mentioned before, pretty long, so we've been debating a bit over where exactly to cut it for the demo, but we're going to include a couple of in-game days of play, to give players the feel for the story, let them tinker around with the item system, the searchable screens, and meet the characters, finally, face to face.

The final rating for Mitsumata is T for Teen, 15+/16+ depending on where you are located. It is bloody, with implied sexual situations. The demo will have heavily implied violent actions

----------------------

There's also been some confusion between Mitsumata and a 3-D game. We are not them. Mitsumata is, and always has been since day 1, a 2-D interactive story game. You can read more about exactly what it is on the front page of the DA. We fund our games almost entirely out of pocket and work on them in our free time during the school year and full-time in the summer, which is why we're not rushing and taking the time to get Mitsumata completely perfect. We'd appreciate, if you want to address other people's work, you would actually send those people your comments.

----------------------

We're not doing anything else until Mitsumata is complete. It may be taking longer than we'd hoped because of the art additions we wanted, but for the increase in functionality, animation, and art, we think your eyes will be very pleased when you see the improvements.

See you soon!
