Not-so-much-an-Update 4/25/15
Don’t worry, Project Sain is alive and well! As we approach Summer, we will be coming out of a dormant period of sorts (school...), but this is not to say that we all have not been working bit by bit whenever possible. Stay tuned for a more substantial update in the coming weeks!

New Music! 1/22/15
Hey everyone!
A few days ago, we added some new songs to the development blog's playlist:
4. The Lone Watcher (Kal'que'as theme)
5. Welcome to Ballah
These were made by our brilliant team member Brad. Check them out and stay tuned for more content and updates as they develop! Thank you!
-Alex
Here is a concept for a female villager NPC, drawn by our brilliant artist Aanikka! Stay tuned for more work by Aanikka and the rest of the team!
-Alex
Merciless, sadistic, and megalomania describe this man all too well. His name is Achril and, as the mercenary lord of Dark Blood, is responsible for ending and ruining the lives of countless people, including Sain's. If Sain wishes to find this elusive man, can he do so while still holding steadfast to his beliefs?
This was drawn by our brilliant artist Sara.

Open Positions (Updated 10/7/14)
Howdy there!
We still need some base positions filled in the project. If you, or anyone you know, are interested and willing to take on one (or more, we won't stop you haha) of these tasks, let us know!
Traditional Artists: hand drawn or using a computer/tablet/whatever your favorite device to draw
- artist(s) to work on making the maps. (The locations and rough look of the world has already been made, so this would essentially be just drawing the maps)
- artist(s) to work on the overworld environment/towns/areas that the characters will walk on/through. [we are still debating whether we want the overworld to drawn traditionally or done digitally w/ sprites, but still inquire if interested]
- artist(s) to work on some of the cutscene drawings along with Sara. These drawings will serve to help describe major plot points during dialogue of the main storyline. In terms of the style, we are looking for something along the lines of a traditional manga style (examples) you see in many RPG's, but you are, of course, welcome to put your own creative spin on it.
Digital Artists:
- artists for character/NPC/enemy, item/weapon, and combat effect sprites.
- artist(s) for working with the game's text, and text/textures for the various menus.
Programmers: Additional programmers comfortable coding in C#, for coding of the game and other aspects of it, HTML, for maintenance on the website, or Java, for other miscellaneous coding projects.
Writers: (In the near future) To assist with the writing of NPC dialogue and side story content/dialogue.
Hope to hear from you all!
-Omar and Alex
Meet En'nal, another ally that Sain will meet along his journey. En'nal is a formidable student of magic and is exceptional with dark magic, a rare school amongst the Athesti. What role will he play in Sain's journey? Drawn by our brilliant artist Sara.
-Alex
This here is Paul! He is kind hearted and optimistic, truly searching for the goodness in others. He shall accompany Sain throughout his trials whilst dealing with his own demons. This was drawn by our brilliant artist Sara.

Update 6/26/14
Howdy everyone! Summer is here, so you know what that means...time to get some major work done on the game. To any of our artists that follow this blog, check your email and get back to us. Let's see where we're at.
-I am mid way through the 2nd half of the game's main dialogue. If I work diligently, I can probably finish it up in the next 2 weeks. I've also been hard at work on legal-esque forms and the structure of the studio.
-Omar's biggest task recently has been the Character class, which will be applied to your character(s), enemies, and NPC's. It will account for how they interact with the environment, when attacked/attacking, etc.
-Brad is a master of his craft. In the last few weeks I joined him in his studio to brainstorm music. He has turned out nothing but gold thus far, including the main theme, several area themes and one of the menu themes.
-Sara is nearly complete with the last major character concept for now.
It is my hope that when the next update rolls around (soon), we will be showing off some of our content. Stay tuned, and thank you for sticking with us. You're the best!
-Alex
