*desperate for something to talk about, das asks the following question*

Yeah. It's going pretty well.

But, Okii Shiroow hasn't replied to our e-mails and IMs for over a month, so we needed a new character artist. And in the past few days we got one, called Michael Geismar.

And, Mark is doing well at the backgrounds, but he is still waiting for your sketch of the hallway so he can continue

Everything else is fine, and going according to plan.

oh. sorry about the hallway sketch. there's something goofy with my scanner, but i have the pictures drawn. i divided the hallway into two different screens, so i'll send you two pictures as soon as i find out what the heck the problem is. actually, it's not really a problem, however a screen pops up saying "do you want to test the scanner?" or something, and i'm not sure what to do...but i'll have them scanned by tonight and then i'll send them to you

Alright.

I have the first part of the puzzles in part 1 coded, but it is still very buggy.

Oh, it's not a big problem. I just need to spend more time polishing it off, e.g. getting all the screen regions in the perfect positions, and making sure there is no way the player can exploit the game (e.g. like the way you can get that guy's gold tooth twice in MI3). The only reason there are bugs is that this is only a pre-alpha version, so I haven't spent a great deal of time making it perfect. But there is not much point in starting polishing off until I have the final background art. Then I will perfect all the screen regions, and fix all bugs
