Hello dear and fateful backer buddies! The last couple of weeks have been a bit slow in terms of cool items to show you. Don’t take that the wrong way. The team has all been busy working on various things, but it has mostly been a lot of behind the scenes stuff.
The Unity 4.3 update (our game engine of choice) was released last week and one of the things we’ve been looking into is how to leverage some of the new features. 4.3 features a whole new 2D kit that could potentially help our efforts tremendously going forward. Unity has also introduced some new animation tools involving their Mechanim system. This is all great news because we are gonna be able to hopefully make use of a lot of this in different ways 🙂

There is quite a bit of new artwork that Mark and his team have been working on that I wish I could show you. At this time, he’s not quite ready for me to post anything, but I’m hoping by next update, he’ll be ready to divulge some of the cool stuff that has been put together.
Some of you have made it known that you would love to hear about some of the “under the hood” stuff going on code wise with the game. Our Senior Developer Tyler is now going to be posting in the SV Rewards website. So for the code monkeys out there, his post will especially be for you!

EPISODE 3 OF THE NEW BI-WEEKLY PODCAST BY THE SPACE QUEST HISTORIAN
The newest episode of the Space Quest Historian podcast is live!
“Get ready for a full hour of juicy fun! The Historian delves deep into Space Quest IV and uncovers a host of hidden voice files. Brandon Blume and Sierra composer Ken Allen talk about the SQ4 soundtrack, and the SteveBot returns to talk about the hidden alternate path that was supposed to be in SQ2VGA. Jason Pullara, a.k.a. LordKat, caps things off with a calm and collected spiel about the usefulness of glowing gems. It’s a full hour’s worth of Space Quest extravaganza!”
