Battles, bloopers & some changes


We are slowly, very slowly, moving forwards. The picture above is a small part of a larger battlefield picture.

Our main problem is the same as most projects like this has, a lack of funding. It does not stop us, but it does slow us down.


Bloopers, on the other hand, aren't a problem. When they happen, we have a laugh, fix the problem, and move on.

A funny blooper can actually provide extra energy.


We are doing a couple of visual changes. For example, the adventure was originally set during winter. We are changing that for two reasons:

  • Winter campaigns were very unusual 1,000 years ago. The logistics were simply to difficult to handle.
  • We may shoot some backgrounds on location, and it is getting warmer. The snow is gone. We can add snow to scenes, but it is time consuming, and the results vary. It is better for us the less work we need to do. Better for you too, if you are interested in reading Alice: Demon's Gate.
We are also changing Alice's sword, Illi, a bit. The inscriptions on the sword used to be in relief, but that makes the sword difficult to clean, so we have changed the inscriptions to be in a metal of a slightly different color instead. Makes a lot more sense.

That is it for now. Back to work!
