... OK, some days you just wake up, hear the morning news on the radio, and go "what the devil's oven are those French invasion forces up to now?!?"

That story brings to mind the time that a game of either Earthdawn or Elric was interrupted by figures being knocked from the battleboard, and in the ensuing search someone found what turned out to not a figure, but (in my words) "That's not a warrior, that's a banana!"
"Life is all we are. Life is what defines us. In the end, Life is the answer."

Ruler of Bartolomeu de Gusmão Airport.

Well. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. Don't know why I'm surprised though. It's sad that we won't be able to access the blog anymore, it was really cool to see the progress and the technique used to make different parts of the game.

Wait, what? Oh, it's real this time. Well, I still have the demo I think, if anyone wants it.

Wayback machine's tiny flaw is that it doesn't always save images forever :(

It's sad that she decided to just delete her work altogether. And I really liked some of the comments, especially when short-haired Reynir was revealed ("Emil, eat your heart out", lol). Truly a pity.

Kis, cake for you at the central square. Of the Safe Zone! You made it!

Other than that, sad news indeed. I loved some of those illustrations.
