Oh, there's an interesting looking guy, I bet he -

wait what

XD You could all him "Michael" although he'd not like that, you rude american brute

I like him. I can see and hear him right before me, actually

Oh, Hawk, you could always pass me some of your writing if you like. We're not yet at the point where all of the dialogue is being written but I'm sure we could use another set of wings once we've hit that milestone

The character designs are really quite impressive, even down to the aviary (is that the right word?).

Now you need a nerdy croc, or a tough mouse / chicken / cat / other 'small / cute' creature.

Not that I care, but they're suggestions. In any case, the more characters I see, the more I'm wanting to play.

Also, I know that you get to choose your race, but from the first 'showings' of this game, it seemed like you could choose between three different 'skins' for each race and gender. Is it possible to show some sketches of some design options for your character? o.o Or has it changed, how the 'character creation' is going to go?

I've been lurking to this page for quite long time and I absolutely love the idea of this game and can't wait to see it finished so I'd like to help by suggesting some things I think should be in the game: an underground fighting system a good way to earn money and get the girls/boys to like you, swimming mini game since it's an island so why not add a mini game like that.

Also I was wondering about something will there be stats like hp, strength, stamina, charm etc. in this game?

Funny you should mention small and nerdy, later today I'll be uploading a hardcore gamer squirrel ^_^

As far as character selection, we are planning on 5 species: horse, bird, cat, dog and lizard, each with a few different skin patterns. Right now we are working on the menu system and tutorial, thus will also include character generation screen, so stay tuned and it should all become clear soon!

*EDIT: Here's Cindy ^_^

I love the look of these characters so far, cant wait to see more progress

[Mariotx]

When the tutorial is done will we have at least a playable demo or the next thing you'll post will be like another feature of the game?

[Thaedael]

Lol, been a while since I actually looked at the first page, I recognize that woman in the strip segment XD. Well played good sir, well played >: P

Right now we're working on the menu, tutorial and character generation screen. Katsu is still teaching me animation and scripting (I'm a total Flash newb) but once I'm up to speed things should plug along nicely. It's still early in the game development and we're nailing down concepts right now.

I'll try to post some of the progress on the intro, which should have a sample of the dialogue system and animation style to give you a sense of the game.

Can't wait t see it

Ok, still working on the tutorial and intro, but i thought I'd at least drop another character and a little tease of the intro to welcome you to the island

Sweet, sweet, that's why my girl would be XD. As an air hostess (from the 60's damn FOTC song is stuck in my head)

I must say, I just played the 'Game.swf' thing and the intro just made me go o.o. Pretty nice, and the music sets the mood. Not to mention, the beginning menus are spiffy, too. I like that 'menu transition' sound effect. ^.^

Now tell me where you got that intro music so I can get it for myself.

[KaTsuO_O]

@FMC we are using different music for the intro now, something that fits the more cinematic approach. The previous design was due to the limitation of artistic abilities. Now when goat are working with us, we could make something more visual. The menu also have new backgrounds, that is more than just a different color.

You can find all the music we are using so far here: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/

The intro music is called Thunder Dreams.

[KaTsuO_O]

I have posted the teaser trailer now, on the first page.

[OwnerOfSuccuby]

Wow - good work !!!

[goat]

Now we just have to finish the tutorial and then it's on to the...er...rest of the game!

[Mariotx]

Hey that L icon what does it exactly mean I've seen it in the tease also the island greeting that goat posted a few days ago and another thing I noticed during the tease was a parrot like figure sitting at the third seat from the left so will there be birds as chars too?

[goat]

As for the icon, you'll just have to play the game to find out but I can tell you that there will be a number of avians in the game. Both possible mates and as a player character option (just so you know the playable species are: feline, canine, avian, equine and reptilian, with both male and female options) The character creation system is nearing completion, so you will have a good idea how that will work in detail very soon.

[Wonderful Hawk]

Oh, jeez, I probably get too excited about this game. I'm practically bouncing in my seat after that teaser. Seriously, it's like every little thing that's added just brings my anticipation back up to max.
