Pantagrame

Having the inside track, or knowing some circles, blogs or websites, some of you may already have learned the truth: Pantagrame will be at JAPAN EXPO!

Double booth, new levels, second boss, but not merely that! You’ll be able to see exclusive concept arts, loads and loads of goodies (the printed webcomic, Vitriol and Floreal figurines, mugs, T-shirts, etc, etc), and the Floreal contest once over again. If you want a signed drawing, you’ll just have to try and do the best time for the boss on our satanik booth!

We’ll be there from 2nd to 6th of July, at booth # CP49, in alleyway JC, Hall 6!

Oh, also, yeah, EPITANIME was amazing! Despite some technical problems, the convention was pretty good, with lot of people, and the organizers worked very hard to offer once again the EPITA experience. Thanks to them, and thanks to you, thanks to everyone who came on the booth!

Thanks to the neighbours, too, mainly Brigade SOS which helped us with logistics, and thanks to the nice Homestuck and Dangan Ronpa fans who allowed me to not die during the transportation of some of my equipment.

And congratulations to Amo (on this pic) for beating the convention’s best time for Floreal!

SATAAAAAN !

Cauchemar

Geekopolis was AWESOME! Thanks everyone for coming and bringing your friends. We didn’t have a chance to get bored!

I’m leaving to prepare another convention, this week: IMAGINALES, in the city of Epinal, 22th-25th of May. Both Arkh and myself (Cauchemar) will be by the booth !

Hello there! How are you, everyone? There’s much to say today, so I’ll give clear titles to the various parts of the newsletter.

CONVENTION NEWS

Back from Lyon! It was amazing, I had WAY more people at the booth than I thought I would. Our composer Oraziel was able to come, we had a lot of fun!

Some pics:

We are going to attend a LOT of conventions this Spring. I probably won’t be able to obtain pics of each booth, but I’ll try! I’ll also keep the CALENDAR updated.

Next cons are Geekopolis (Paris, 17-18th of May), with our webmaster Bica and our programmer Arkh right back from Japan, and Imaginales (Epinal, 22-23-24-25 of May). Stay in touch!

PROJECT NEWS

We are only days away from publishing level 2. Which is now LEVEL 4, by the way. After a lot of thinking, seeing people in conventions had difficulties grasping the zones/levels dichotomy, and noticing the website’s visitors sometimes outright MISS zone B and zone C, I’ve decided to restructure the games like this:

Level 1 1 Zone A = Level 1

Level 1 Zone B = Level 2

Level 1 Zone C = Level 3

As the most dedicated fans may already know, at the beginning, I wanted all three zones to be one big level. But technical limitations didn’t allow it; I had to divide, first by portals, second by different games/pages, and I finally understood it’s just clearer to make the zones into levels.

Level 2… well, Level 4, will appear soon!

WEBSITE NEWS

To follow this restructuration, I’ve entirely redesigned the GAMES page. The old one was cute, but without any visual quality to it, and really, too chatty. With the number of future levels and boss, it would become a mile long.

If people wonder why Jovy’s face is featured four times, hey, remember, you’ll play as other characters too! In the future, it’ll be nice to know with a single gaze who you’re playing as.

I’ve also redesigned the AUTHORS page. Once again, the old one was cute and nice and everything, but it was visually too close to the CHARACTERS page. Plus it didn’t say much about Oraziel, Arkh, Bica and myself.

Finally, I’m adding some new CONCEPT ART, mainly the first drafts of the Lustral design, but also this masterpiece which waited too long to be published:
