Balabanto Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Kranios is well into the background stage. We're down to only a few character sheets after this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Kranios is done. On to the Peregrine. Kranios may require revisions. We'll see. HHAAHAHAAAA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Peregrine's sheet is done. On to her background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Peregrine's background is done. On to Dr. Neopolis. This one is weird and might take a little bit. Easy to figure out in your head. A little tougher on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 The sheet for Dr. Neopolis is finally done, now that the Father's Day chaos is over, etc. On to his background, and then his Variable Power Pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Dr. Neopolis's background is finally complete. I wasn't sure if it was weird enough or strange enough, but it's on to his VPP. Four sheets to go. Laser Phantom, Generic Agents, the Secret Master, and People's Dragon. (A late addition. A player asked me for a hunted, and it would be foolish not to include him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Okay, so Dr. Neopolis's Variable Power Pool is done. Four characters left, and a few vehicles. Is there anything else you guys want in this book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallet Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Slightly off-topic question (not just for you, but also for anyone who creates 3rd party projects): How do you go about getting/creating art and maps for your books? Do you just use people you know in real life, draw it all yourself, find people online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I find artists that are industry recommended and pay them. I also use people I know. All of my maps get professionally redone by layout. Note: Art is expensive. I did not make my money back right away on Journey to the Center of the Earth, and I don't expect to make my money back right away on this one, either.

Balabanto Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Okay. Today we finished Laser Phantom's sheet. On to her background. 4 backgrounds, 3 sheets, and a couple of vehicles. We are closing in! What we are NOT closing in on is having art for all the characters. I won't have money until next month, and I can't start payments until then. After the sheets are done I have to begin mapwork, though it doesn't look like this will have as many maps as Journey did. If people want more vehicles, say so now. I can still add a couple to the list, it just means everything will take more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Laser Phantom's background is finished. This only leaves the agents, the Secret Master, the People's Dragon, and two vehicles, and then all the sheets are done. The next step will be maps unless people are making suggestions at this stage.

Balabanto Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 The agent sheet is done, and now it's background time for the agent sheet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted October 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 On to the agent weapons locker sheet. This may take a few days, simply because staring at numbers for ages and building different weapons is a significant effort at a time when I'm kind of whipped. After this, People's Dragon, the Secret Master, and then it's on to the maps phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Agent Weapons Locker sheet complete. About 25 new weapons. Remaining are the Secret Master, The People's Dragon, and some vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 The Secret Master's sheet is complete. On to his extremely long and complicated background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The Secret Master is completed. Only the People's Dragon and vehicles remain before map time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted November 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Art has started to trickle in. Denis Loubet's picture is a preliminary sketch, and the art for General Hseng, Cherry Blossom, Golden Fist, and Imperial Wind have been completed.

Balabanto Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 The first vehicle has been completed. Two more vehicles and People's Dragon, then it's on to maps, then text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 The sheet for one of the vehicles has been completed. Sorry it's been so slow, but the christmas season turns me into a guy who works 6-7 days a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 One Vehicle, One Villain. Then it's map time. At this rate I should be done with the first draft of the text by May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Last vehicle completed. The art for the villain is now available and we will move forward with The People's Dragon. After that, it's maps time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 People's Dragon's sheet has been completed, we're going to move on to his background starting this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 The People's Dragon Background is complete. Mapmaking will begin the day after the Super Bowl. I estimate a July completion date for the full draft of the product. Hopefully, my artists will continue to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Delays in Real Life have cost me time, but I will try to push for the original promise for a draft completion date. I'm working on maps now, as once you get to flavor text a page a day can be knocked out easily. For the record, Jason has scheduled this product for 2018, but I am confident that there will be a draft long before that date, and hopefully, if space opens up in the schedule for any random reason, we will be able to get it to you before that. Art is coming in. We have art for Dr. Neopolis, Cherry Blossom, Black Tiger, Imperial Wind, General Hseng, People's Dragon, Golden Fist, Typhoon, and Red Sword. That's a full third of the artwork completed, and we haven't even finished the maps yet. We're doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balabanto Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 First map and key are completed. Onward to it's object defense table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
