Got facebook? Then I present to you: our advent calendar!

Dear fans.
In November Facebook launched something called Pages, where you can become a fan of certain products and people. So I created a own Page for Roger Foodbelly, where you can become an official fan. Why this? I hear you ask. Well, it's a new way for us to reach our fans on a regular basis (more often than this blog!), and get a nice overview of all the fans the game might have gotten.

So 1st December I launched an advent calendar (one of many treats you get by becoming an official fan), where you can find a new surprise every day - all the way up to Christmas Eve! All things that gets published in there, will stay there.

I hope you will join in - so we'll be seeing you there!

When you have clicked on the link above, you need to click 'Become a fan' on the right. Then it's up to you, where to go next ;)

Going 3D? GOSH!

Better post something late than never, eh? These post few months, we've been having a great summer. But tomorrow the full development will start.

Why the delay? I hear you ask. We was short-handed with 2D animators. Actually, we were down to zero. Then our background leader, Atle Mæland, told me he knew a lot of talented 3D animators and asked me if we were about to switch style. Like Bill Tiller did with his game 'A Vampire Story'.

So now on Monday, we'll be starting with the character's skeleton, probably in Maya or something. Actually, characters in 3D has been in the back of the head for a long time. I'll see if I can find the old 3D models lying around my hard drive to post them here! That should calm you down for a while.

And now like always, feel free to comment. They're always welcome, and they will always be read by the team.

Now, I promise you that we'll get the next post out a little sooner. With stuff to show!

We'll leak!?

I have thought a little about sharing the alpha (?) and the beta when it's finished, to a small group of people. If so, those will act like testers does, and has to sign an agreement before getting the download link. Each version will get a water stamp on it, so I hope it wouldn't get leaked if we decide to do this.

Those who finds the most errors, bugs, and such, will most likely get to test the next episode as well.

What do you think of this? Is this a fine (and unique) idea? The sign-up won't happen yet, though, and it most likely won't happen before four weeks before the game is about to be finished. The alpha will most likely be finished a months in advance, so why not get a chance of playing the early version of the game?

I was thinking about doing this public, as there are more interest among some of you, instead of having some who have never heard about the game to test it. Let us hear your opinions!

First time covered!

To my biggest surprise when I googled Roger Foodbelly as usual, something new came up. It seems like the russians are keeping a good eye on Roger Foodbelly actually, to my surprise. And boy, they knew much about us already.

Too bad they've put the Norwegian version of the Christmas card up on the site, but whatever works best :)

So if you're Russian speaking, then go ahead and read! Or use babel fish!
I'm impressed anyhow :)

I can't wait!

And hopefully you can't either ;) I just got to tell you... The game is being loved already - by adventure game developers. Read those three last words. That can only be good, which again makes it easier to understand it will be loved by all of you too.

Roger loves you. And so do we.

I can't wait to let you get your hands on it, getting feedback, and everything.

Thanks for the support. All of you.

Episode 2 storyline completed!

Gosh. That only took us like, 4 hours or so. So cheers! I can assure you it's awesome.
The production to episode 1 will start as soon as possible, then we'll keep you posted on stuff and such! Leif Johan Godø, our musician, commented in the other thread that he has started on the main theme! Maybe that's the music piece we should be posting? Any comments regarding that?

Also, he will be posting updates from now on regarding the music bit.

But what can I say? Overjoyed!

Greetings year 2007

Boy, am I glad I didn't make a promise regarding the music :-) It seems like we get a bit delayed regarding releasing some teaser music of the old music. I will get to it, when I get my laptop back from service. You were expecting old music, and old music you'll get. Soon.

I hope you've had a happy new year so far, and that it keeps being happy when the first episode is out!
