^^ Thanks for all the comments, i just wanted to tell everyone that i have posted the explosion in the UC now, and hopes that everybody is happy ;D...

Sorry guys, no screenshots this time, but good news, PreVa is about 1 month before completion (don't take me on that one, it may be longer) we are planning on it being out before christmas, the really good news is that the ai movement/attack/scan script is 100% complete, the only thing to finish is the specific mecha to add the actions to. at the moment we have one map completely finished from beginning to end (no cutscene yet) and the first cutscene of the game is completely done, as of today. Music work has started, and each song should be done after each level and cutscene, hopefully.

As for those who are enthusiastic for our first game to be released (or those who just think this project is interesting), it will be done soon. Also, we have started implementing Gafgar's code into the game (with which he will be getting full credit for), and will have an option for his explosion, or the 3d circular explosions.

For those who are just interested in Manga Page itself, our website is at http://www.itbgames.com/mangapage . there are updates and job positions, as well as a forum, for anime fans, it still has yet to take off.

If anyone has any questions or comments, then please post them, we'll get to them as soon as we are available.

i will be posting an updated list of all the people who have contributed, in one way or another, through code, or support, as soon as i can, it's late and i need to be off to bed, so, until next time...

Ok, i know what most of you have been thinking, "PreVa must be dead...abandoned...gone into the fog, as if it never existed", but it's not. I apologize for not posting any recent screenshots or videos or anything like that, actually i believe we'll make a video to console your worries (if any are present ). The fact is we have done loads of level work, and the menu has been redone for framerate purposes, it's not complete, but the overall layout has been completed. The levels are almost done, most levels already have their layout, the only thing left for each one is to make the objectives. We have also done work on the cutscenes, which will be fully pre-rendered cutscenes, which will be 320x240 mpg files, to save on space, although high resolution versions will be available for download, so you can enjoy them a bit more.

With that being said, the final things to finish are:

mission objectives
voice acting
cutscenes
menu
level transitions and mission screens
ladder matches
game-play balancing (which comes from beta testing)

and PreVa will be DONE...COMPLETED...FINISHED (caps ). But believe me when i say we're not gonna pull a Duke Forever, and this project will be done soon, i also promise some updated footage, considering we have taunted a bit too much.

so the question is, does anyone want a video?

YES!!!
I want a Video!!!!!!
