um yeah.....so where its at?

nvm

I sincerely apologize for not being able to deliver on the deadline for the February update.

My main goal was, and still is, to have regular updates for you guys leading up to the launch of the game. One of those regular updates will be the Beta released to the backers who supported the Beta tiers! We are still working towards these goals although the dates have obviously changed.

One of the main issues that plagued this project from the beginning were accusations by a certain twitter personality stating we copied our art from another game.The accusation was based on a private youtube trailer of Band Saga that I submitted to Sense Of Wonder Night for Tokyo Game Show. The twitter personality was apparently a judge who broke the agreement and leaked the trailer to ridicule the project without our knowledge. The accusations were obviously not true but instead of stirring up more controversy we decided to completely start over and re-make all of the art assets in an top-down-isometric perspective instead of a side-scrolling perspective. As you can imagine, this has become a very tedious process which ballooned the game's scope way beyond what we originally designed. Also, it was very important to me that all of the gameplay mechanics and features were revealed and conveyed clearly in our upcoming updates due to the experimental nature of the project. I know from experience the importance of putting your best foot forward with projects like these.

We could have posted every art asset, every feature implementation and every song written for the game. Instead, I made the decision to guarantee that we're always putting our best foot forward and minimizing anything that could be misconstrued. Also I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared into holding my cards close to my chest after being attacked multiple times. At the same time we understand that we have a duty to our backers and that you guys are extremely anxious right now.

I'm happy to say that we are past most of those hurdles and we're eager to start blasting you guys with updates, content and news about the beta. There are a lot of things in motion right now that prevent us from giving a solid date. But please rest assured that I'm working to get it in your guys' hands ASAP. The game will be released this year and we will have a steady flow of updates leading up to the launch including the Beta and other rewards for the backers who supported those tiers!

Please don't hesitate to ask my any other questions you may have!

In update #14 I introduced you guys to the supporting characters never revealed what they looked like in-game or that they are just as important to the story as they are in battles as party members! Each character can be recruited during the story campaign and has many unique attacks that can be used strategically during battle to crush your enemies.
