Preproduction is going extremely well. The Game doc has a little bit to go for an alpha doc, Artists are beginning production and designing is going very smoothly with very few hickups. by the time classes begin this game will be in a good spot for our deadline.

Continuing Production

So its been a few weeks since my last post. Production is well under way. All the designers have been working hard getting the design of our facebook game very solid. We currently are stil writing the Game Doc and making good time with it. With any luck the Programers will be starting in a week or two and our Artists have already started making concepts.

Pre-Production

So we started designing the gameplay section today and we have something pretty solid which we can continually build upon and refine as we continue forth with the design process. Tasks have been divided and given out for getting started with the project as well there is a facebook group dedicated to creating this application. Hopefully within a few short weeks will will be in full fledge production of this game.
