hehe     Actually, there's a guy in the game that I'm hoping to get onto the cover.  I'm looking forward to seeing it from someone that has artistic talent (not me).

Thanks Jeff,

I really wanted to find out what you had thought, but didn't get the opportunity.  Super glad to hear you liked it.


And thanks everyone for the positive feedback - I thrive on it.

I've been playing the demo all morning and I am blown away by this game so far. I find myself consumed by the gameplay mechanics. Gathering resources to build, buy, sell, and improve stats. The battle sequences are great and I haven't even scratched the surface on what can be done (World Map stuff that I have not explored yet). This is a game that will take up quite a bit of my free time upon release and I look forward to it!

I watched the youtube videos and I have to say I am super psyched for this!

Excellent work! I'm a bit too busy atm to play the demo, but I'll give it a shot in the next couple of days.

I'll be sure to get a hold of you.  Thanks for the interest!

As I mentioned earlier, please PM me with your email and I'll be sure to notify you with major updates on the game (preorder, cartridge release, etc).  And please keep an eye on my blog.  I have been adding updates about every 2 weeks.

Just curious, who's gonna do the design of the box/manual/label?
Don't do a cheap release like Assimilate or Dragon Feet/Leap please

What was cheap about the Assimilate release? I'm going to assume you didn't get the initial release?

The first draft of the box art can be seen on my blog (12-11-13).  The artist is Kelly Griffin.  As far as the manual, I have done the design myself, but I am still on the lookout for an artist to possibly do some hand-drawn art for the manual.  If anyone is interested, send me a PM please.

I read on your blog that you're talking with Paul at infiniteneslives.com. I'm very happy to hear this! That guy is a totally awesome dude. He has been more than helpful with all the questions I had with my recent order. Can't go wrong with that guy

It was a difficult decision for me to choose between a release with infiniteneslives or with retrousb.  Both bunnyboy and Paul are awesome.

GIMME A CART!
 
Pretty excited for this game! 
I'm a sucker for RetroUSB, but Infiniteneslives definitely has nice stuff! 
Make sure you get it one a sweet clear cart

Hopefully you got the art stuff sorted.

If not, you know where to find me, man!

A bit more time on my hands then before.

It's pretty well sorted (but I still need someone to create some small hand drawn objects, like the Zelda manual).  Thanks again for your efforts on the box, and I hope your new prospects go well.

I am making plans for both Limited Edition and Standard carts.  Box and manual will also be made.

This may be a bit premature, but after Armed for Battle is released do you have future plans to develop another title?
