Hey there everyone, this is your friendly neighborhood Developer Producer Nathan. I wanted to take some time to update this lair. There have been many fun and exciting updates in this project. The art team has wrapped up icons, delivered
wildlife assets, expanded the armory, produced a
three-dimensional globe of the "Amazing World of Epimetheus™", laboriously crafted
numerous data maps, and even knocked out a Halloween asset for our
Facebook page.

As these assets are crafted the need for consistency grows evermore. To aid our art team's efforts a digital color pallet has been crafted. This allows our artists a quick color reference and keeps our colors uniform. Given the nature of this blog, we are of course providing this pallet to our volunteers as well. In Image 2 you will see a compact version of the pallet.
There are still dozens of original artwork images that need to be remastered. Artwork is preferred to be saved in .png format. There is also a folder with templates available for your own art contributions! If you are interested in obtaining the full pallet and/or folder of templates please email us.
Unfortunately, we are discontinuing our website. This is based on several factors. It is the right call at this time, but we will revisit this feature when the opportunity arises. We will maintain all of the files for the site and continue pumping assets out.

There was an executive decision made to set our first public game release as a browser game. This will get the audience familiar with our basic game concepts. For example the available races, materials, our lineage-avatar approach, the religion matrix, the various classes, the numerous trades, and how they all work together. However, the browser game will be a turn-based strategy, with comic-strip theatrical storylines. Something funny and yet simple enough to do.
If you have ever played Paper Mario, then you know how we can simplify the entire browser game while weighing in on energetic sound effects, modern slang, slapstick humor, and a wide variety of two-dimensional art assets. This plays in nice with the art direction of a disney-like approach. So long as the Marvel Universe continues to expand there will be a large market of comic fans.
Our first kiosk will be at a Comic-Con. It is the perfect place to gain exposure. Even if it is not received well it will still be out there. So a top-notch kiosk will have to be built, transported, and manned. That goal is 2026 or the nearest Comic-Con thereafter.
We want to hear from you. Can you believe that? No? Well, my shy and humble friend we do. Are you full of optimism about our direction? Or maybe you loathe the very idea of an open sandbox RPG on a grand scale? Whether it be to gripe or swipe, be it vibe-
bolstering or vibe-killing, throw it at us. All emails can be sent to nathan.epimetheus@gmail.com
