Just a quick note the forum goers: The Kickstarter will be next week (if nothing insane happens).



I cut the trailer and created the Kickstarter page. I also shot and cut together my little interview which I stuck after the trailer in the KS video. Shooting this took FOREVER; goddamit taking live video properly is hard. It turns out that there is about a 90-minute window each day when the light in my room is decent for shooting video. I shot the first one at night and had to scrap it because the lighting was terrible. Then I shot one in the day, which was okay, but I had to shoot another day to fill in some missing points. And I thought game dev was challenging. Perhaps it's just because I've no experience with a camera. But I digress.



Alistair has done his first pass of the trailer audio and it's awesome. He nailed the Western/sci fi mix perfectly. It sounds like the Mass Effect score edged with Ennio Morricone's The Good The Bad and They Ugly music.



I'm also working with an artist on getting the art together for the game; she's hitting the AI Storyteller portraits, ingame characters, and main title logo first. Hopefully, once she's got some work in the game, people will stop going crazy with the Prison Architect comparisons. Not that they're unfair or they really turn anyone off, but it's not the first thing I want everyone to say about the game.



So in general, things are looking pretty good!
