So things have been a little quieter than usual, it's because we're hunkering down for the next phase and planning. Now that we saw at PAX that people really enjoyed the game we're going to keep developing and pushing forward. The next phase involves getting the game online ready, as well as some new content. We got a ton of feedback at the event- So we're shifting focus to building Queen Kyu and her battle mech next!

She's probably the third character I designed. A tyrannous queen who is testing out her kingdom's latest technological achievement, the Feline Battlemech. Generic, I know. Still working on the name. Her mech will feature herself and her squire. We were thinking she would never speak English (As it is a dirty bottom feeders tongue) but only in meows, which her loyal squire would translate in game. No idea if that will stick but we're having fun with it.
(She might look cute but don't trust her) - Anyways, her rig is currently being reworked as we found some issues but she'll be getting re-animated pretty soon. Excited people loved her character so much. She'll be the first heavier class character that will be playable.
In the story her and Kiera will be at major odds, and there will be a plot point centered around our characters getting trapped in the feline kingdom and toyed with by Kyu. Did I mention Kyu's race runs the galaxies equivalent of a 711? You guys should check out Kyumart, it's got some of the best late night snacks.
Anyways, wanted to share this mini update as to what's cooking! Check us out on the Shot One twitter account if you get a chance as well! Cheers.
