Project announcements

All the old projects formerly discussed here? Dead. So what am I currently working on, you ask?

[subheading]Painter Story[/subheading]

Painter Story is a visual novel telling the story of a transfer student and artist who encounters the subject of one of his paintings. After years of moving around every few months, our protagonist finally has the opportunity to settle in one place and start building lasting friendships. But when one of his paintings comes to life, he must choose to follow his feelings for the girl of his dreams, his classmate, or a friend from the school art club.

I'm the story designer and main writer on Painter Story, as well as project lead. Zahlman is also writing for PS, but his main role is scene direction and programming (as it is). There are a couple other people on the team as well, but as far as I know they're not GDNetters. We're using Ren'Py to power things, and the project's been stop-and-go since it started about a year ago. However, we're getting better at keeping momentum now (I think).

[subheading]UFO Panic![/subheading]
This one started life as an XNA do-over of my entry for the first TOJam back in 2006. But since starting on this project, I've seen a lot of potential for it, and I've been working on expanding it from the simple little one-screen game it originally was, to something worthy of XBLA or Steamworks. The team for this project is currently just Zahlman and myself, but we're looking for people who can do asset development and further game design as well.
