  :o :'( <-- the emotional rollercoaster you just put me through, Snake!

I'm very sad to see LE put on hold, as this was one of the games I was most looking forward to, but it's more important for you to sort things out... quickly.


Just kidding =).. take your time and take care of business, we'll all be waiting for this one.

[Squinky]

Hope everything works out. I'm still on for helping you with this one, and maybe when you pick it back up again I might be more useful. Don't forget monkey wrench either...or your other 25 games....heh...

Hook up with me on msn man and we'll yap like Oprah and Dr. Phil....

[evilspacefart]

Nooo! Why? Can I help?

[EKM]

I hope you get things sorted out Snake, it'd be very unfortunate to lose this game.

I seriously can't wait to play this....the story and the graphics just steals the show for me...it looks amazing.

Good luck Snake!

Big-ass Developement Diary update.

...it'd be very unfortunate to lose this game.

Don't worry, it's by far lost

I seriously can't wait to play this....the story and the graphics just steals the show for me...it looks amazing.

Good luck Snake!

Thank you! That means a lot

Thats quite a big update on whats happening. Thanks for that Snake. I'm looking foreward to this game and it's good to see you putting the effort in to make it as good as it can be.

[Pet Terry]

Hooray for Snake!

Great, I'm waiting this game like hell, I'm even willing to help you with some graphics

Yay!

[SSH]

Yay! I'm quoted in another person's sig (does Dragonrose still have my quote?)

Anyway, back to the topic: Glad to see you've got some momentum back on LE, although I hope that we see MW soon, too. Release them both in the same year and the AGS Awards are yours!

[Snake]

Great, I'm waiting this game like hell, I'm even willing to help you with some graphics

Is that a slam towards my graphics, Petey?7?

Release them both in the same year and the AGS Awards are yours!

All I have to say is, "Sheit"

YESSSS!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!

This game looks so incredibly awesome, I can't wait for 2089!!! I'l be...  102 years old! But that's still young enough to play LE!!!

[Pet Terry]

Your graphics slaps cat's ass, Snake! I love them, I just thought maybe you could get the game faster done if there's more graphicians... or something.

[Snake]

har har

That's one of the things I fear...if I don't do everything physical myself, it won't get done...like all these other games that have other people doing the BGs...screw that If I do it myself I know they'll get done, since, making the graphics is the best part

[Squinky]

I for one, personally boycott this game, becuase of it's controversial stance on lesbianality and lesbianation...

[EKM]

Oh yeah, Monkey Wrench looks awesome but I think The life of Marty Shore has some unforgettably well done animated graphics. It looks like something Sierra would produce somewhere in 1996 or 1997 when Space Quest 6 was a well animated game.

But of course, that all waits for the future...right now, The Legend of Leitor's Edge is the biggest anticipation!!!

Monkey Wrench looks fun too but I wanna play LE more!!

I love the look and dark atmosphere for the game and
I really like your idea on building it around the concept of the Choose your own adventure books.  I have always been a fan of the series. Looks good! Keep up the good work!  I definitely want to play this when it is done.

IMPORTANT TEAM NEWS: I thought of making LE officially and ultimately a solo project (besides Marcus' soundtrack) and then go absolutely silent until it was done. Mainly because I was frustrated with myself and the fact of how I'm never happy with anything I do (nothing to do with teammates). And being that picky about my thoughts and ideas only slows me down. I can never do anything simple. It always ejaculates into a gigantic shit ball.
So, with what I'm about to say, I have thought it over quite a bit the last month or so. I'm happy with my decision but at the same time I feel like a total ass. I'm deciding to keep only two people from the team (besides Marcus). Before I go on, I want you to know that I'm not just picking two people and "shit-canning" them. I thought about it over and over. It's hard because these two people are awesome with their work and good to work with as well. But at the same time, so are the other two. So before I say who's let go from the team, please bare in mind that I tore my ass out thinking of who to keep and there is also a reason behind it.

Spoiler

Person one:
Velislav. Vel was my Character Development guy. I wanted him to help me keep my character's personalities and states of mind in order and the way they are effected throughout the course of the game. I'm deciding to let you go, Vel, because even though you are a great mind and know exactly what's going on and have more than just an understanding of how shit should work (and you deserve more respect than what you get around here sometimes), I really don't think I need a person for this area. I already know how to deal with Seth's head and how he'll react to particular situations when/if they happen. I really don't need a person for Character Development. Since I'm not going to have a spot for CD in the credits, would you like to be a beta tester?
Person two:
Yufster. Yuffy is an excellent writer and a hell of a storyteller. You all know that. Yuff, I'm deciding to let you go because, in actuality, you had joined the team just before I decided to go silent with my whole "finding my LE roots episode" and I never ended up making another LE list. Yuffy, you did an awesome job on the backstory idea. So you will be mentioned in the opening credits for doing half, if not more than half, of the backstory. I don't feel I need more than Rincewind and I doing the main storyline.
Rincewind: I decided to keep you because for one, I had you from the start and you seem more dedicated, motivated and right on the ball with where I want to go with Leitor's Edge. You've come up with some ACE shit, man.
Squinky: Like I told you on MSN the other night, you are still my scripting bitch. Whenever the hell I get confused and don't know what the fuck I'm doing, which will be 80% of the time, that's when you fly in through my window with your Pirate Fry costume on and make sweet sweet love to my keyboard.

With all this said and done, I'm probably the biggest asshole right now, eh? I can expect it. I really don't want any hard feelings from my decisions. I think that with only 2 people doing the storyline it'll be more organized and this game will finally eventually be finished and released, horrible or not. Look at it this way: When LE bombs and everyone thinks it's shit, be happy you got out early I don't know, maybe I'm making too much of a big thing out of this. Is it really a big deal to you guys whether you're on or not? I mean, I'm kinda talking like I'm the head of a big corperation when all it is is a freeware adventure game that'll never even be finished (with my luck)...

LEITOR'S EDGE NEWS:
3.14.04 - Cheers to a new LE I suppose. Don't know yet whether to be happy or disgusted with myself. Maybe I'll pull a Yatzee and just get the fuck outta here, build a website and go on by myself, never letting anyone here know my games are done. But why the hell would I do that anyway? Throw them red dice in that weird smelling cup and jiggle me out, jackass!!
Alright. It's been way too quiet for LE. You guys want to know what's going on?
Welp, here are the most important aspects:
The Backstory: 100% finished
The main storyline: I'd say about 75%
The Beginning Sequence Script (before major branching points): 98%

The beginning of Leitor's Edge is very much like a choose your own adventure book, obviously. So far there are 13 branches that lead to different outcomes and 3 branches that lead to the same outcome but of course you learn different information with each. No THE END branches yet. There will be BAD ENDINGS, but no nonsense deaths. There will probably be a couple deaths, but during the ending.
I'd really like to start some art, but I'm gonna be good and wait until the storyline is waxed the hell up. I've got Squinky on the concept art side for some characters. I've drawn up a concept art of Seth and another one with Nick and Gary (names are subject to change). Here's the Seth one:


I know it's not much, but it's something. At least you know what he looks like anyway. I would show you the script for the beginning but I can't reinstall my printer/scanner/copier since I lost the goddamned install CD!! FLARGH!! Damned system restore! I also finished the neighborhood BG...well, I still might add more from time to time since I can't leave anything alone. Save it and enlargh it to notice the changes:


I guess that's it for right now...
So as soon as I get to it, Rincey, you'll be getting the new LE half-arsed outlining of the final storyline.

So you fire me, eh BEOTCH???
FEAR MY WRATH!!!


Seriously, it's been fun to work on LE, I'd be glad to be a beta tester.

[Meowster]

Ha ha ha, Vel got fired! You suck, Vel! Imagine that, getting fired! How humiliating! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Man, I would hate to be you right now!

Well, it's good to know that this project is still on track, Snake.  I've been looking forward to it for some time, so hopefully everything works out.
