Hi everyone, we’d like to share with you a summary of our latest news! Sorry it’s still a bit long, but we don’t post very often lately ;)
RealMYHA
We're glad to inform you that the Kickstarter of RealMyha ended in success, and that Denis and Simon have now gained around 6 000 €, in order to develop the game. This is a very important moment for The Icehouse as it was our first real collaboration and attempt to fund a game. They both saw it as an opportunity to promote the project and discover how many people would be interested in it (if any at all), and that has worked out with a great result. Yesterday the usual questionnaire has been sent to all the backers, so please make sure you received yours by email if you supported the project!

Blue Moon
We have a major update regarding this exciting project from Juanjo/Luminy Studios:
"Hi, after making a prototype and taking some time to consider things, I decided that it was time for a new stage in the project to begin: As you probably know from other updates, I was already making some important changes, but now I am moving to the next stage and I'm completely redesigning the levels (graphically speaking) to take advantage of the new features of Unity 2017.1!!! So that will specifically impact on the graphics quality, which will be increased, and I can't wait to show you by how much. This means that what you have seen so far of the game will now change: see the WIP screenshots attached, showing the new aspect of Ytria's surface. Blue Moon is a collaboration with Simon Mesnard (story) and Python Blue (music), but I am working on it on my own, so it takes time. I will do my best to keep you updated!"

MVEM books
Simon has taken the decision to work more actively on his own, very personal, series Mon Village est Magique during next year. As a result, he has decided to go through his past books and finally release them to public. Even though they're written in French, it's an important first stage, and an English translation of book 1 will arrive soon. With the cooperative comics and the desire of Simon to create a game in this series, it's definitely something to look out for during the next few months!

Unity Neon Challenge
Juanjo is going to participate in the Neon Challenge using the Unity engine. The purpose, to make it short, is to create a scene that shows a possible future for humanity. Juanjo has decided to work on an extrapolation of our present, putting into situation robots, nature and several other aspects of our societies and world. Have a look and support him on his dedicated page, right here:
