Things have finally come together and we can officially announce our first Arrival Video Game which will be released on the iPhone (and other platforms soon after).
Please excuse the video quality, we’ll use a better camera next time.

Announcing our first official game!
Sunday, August 9th, 2009Insurmountable Obstacles
Thursday, August 6th, 2009Regarding Josh’s previous entry, I told him the world was ending and that was the whole of his response until we talked later that day. Always a sense of humor and I have to say it got me laughing and things didn’t look so bad!
There have been many challenges for the art team and it seems there is always much more for me to do than is humanly possible. But there are also many, many positives. Our team continues to grow with very talented people who are willing to help in anyway they can. We have a completed human model and the riggers and animators are able to get started. There are several other models that are close to completion and should be ready to go soon. The modelers are also working on many of the inanimate objects that are needed by the animators, along with objects that will really enrich our environment. It looks like we may have all required objects done well before our deadline and may be able to work on some of my “wish list” items!
Looking over the last week of our particular “theatre”, there could not be a better quote than the “Shakespeare In Love” quote! Things do have a way of working themselves out and many of the overwhelming problems from a few days ago have just fizzled out to make way for new insurmountable obstacles!

Video Game Projects
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009The other day Susan and I were talking and she was expressing her concern about how impossible the tasks ahead of us seemed. This little snippet explains this type of project rather accurately so I thought I’d share it publicly.
From Shakespear in Love
Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do?
Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well.
Hugh Fennyman: How?
Philip Henslowe: I don’t know. It’s a mystery.
