You are probably asking yourself "What the hell happened here!??" Good. After more drama than an episode of LOST, Marcel (Level Editor) and Cypher (Music) have both quit the team (good riddance). Kendall (Engine), Pritam (Concepts/Pixel Art), and Thomas (Music) have all joined the party. We're back, and we're pissed.

First of all, this is not "The Adventures in Game Development Chapter 17." With all of the new blood on the team, we're determined to break new ground in computer science, engineering, art, music, and software development. We would like to concentrate on the development of Elysian Shadows rather than the development of a generic engine and editor as AiGD did. We are also trying to show the entire development process INCLUDING areas such as art and music from team members who aren't even in the same country.

Marcel (and his level editor) have been replaced by Alex (MarauderIIC). He began writing a new level editor from scratch a few weeks ago. It is being written in C# and has shown a significant amount of progress in a very short amount of time.

Kendall and Falco have ripped the entire ES Engine to shreds and have started a rewrite in order to accomodate a plethora of newly planned features for ES (rigid body physics and PSP port to name two). Kendall is currently working at a higher level on the engine itself. Falco is working at a lower level to create a multiplatform library "libGyro" capable of powering Elysian Shadows on the PC, Sega Dreamcast, and Sony Playstation Portable.

Pritam has been working his ass off to create concepts for every party member based on our storyline. It's a tough job, and just one character has taken dozens of iterations to tweak to perfection. Once the character concepts are complete, sprite creation can commence.

Thomas, our newest recruit, has been working on sound and audio production for a couple of weeks now. After presenting us with a demo that literally blew us away, we knew that we wanted him. He has been experimenting with fusing different kinds of sounds including orchestra, electronica, and elements of rock to create a unique atmosphere for Elysian Shadows.

Fuck, show ur fucking game!

[GyroVorbis]

@koreanpeoples It's called education. I'm sorry that it's too much for you to handle, scrub.

[WSPSNIPER2]

Are you guys still working on the game?

[GyroVorbis]

Hell yes.

@lionpaw75 thepiratebay(dot)org , if you find a certain book on there which helps you most then please go out and buy it, nothing beats the smell of a book straight from the store and it helps the author out a lot!

[lionpaw75]

Something id totaly do if i could afford a book i even have my own computer

[djsotos]

Tell Kendal to have her hair straight more often.*Whisper: She looks f-u-c-k-i-n-g-" "-h-o-t....

[kadajett]

Whoa guys, chill out. We are all fans ES... Sorry Gyro if David came to conclusions, but we as a community had no choice. You guys are celebrities now, and when something happens that we have no idea about we come to conclusions. You should be flattered. We weren't trying to offend you guys. And David, calling people "faggots" isn't very nice... You should respect the teams decision, because without their choices, we wouldn't have such a vibrant youtube programmer community.

[mymothersmeatloaf]

don't freak Falco (sorry if i spelled your name incorrectly), try not to let this ignorant bastard piss you off.

[1994DavidLotro]

well excuse me? Why didn't you try and help him, or tell him his girlfriend was putting him against you, I was just trying to help you didnt give a lot of information about what exactly happened so don't tell me anything. And huh? He wasnt a part of it when he left, um he was doing a good job until that incident happened no? Or was he always doing shit work.

[GyroVorbis]

Excuse me? Marcel CHOSE to leave the team. And no, he wasn't just as much a part of the project when he left. It was because 1) he quit doing his job and 2) he let his girlfriend turn him against his passion. Don't speak about things that you know nothing about. I would never have kicked him off. It was his choice.

[1994DavidLotro]

lol k, I knew you were joking around lol but yeah :S anyways yeah they are cool, I am annoyed with them tho, allowing Marcel to leave and being replaced by that faggot. Marcel is just as much a part of it.... His own brother.
