Things have been going great with Wrack lately. Hopefully you’ve seen some of the previews and maybe even the playthrough by OverTheGun. We’re so close to being ready that I’m finally ready to announce the pre-order release date! That date is…

FRIDAY, MAY 25TH, 2012

On that date, you’ll be able to pre-order the first episode of Wrack, instantly be able to play the first three levels, and you’ll receive the level editor, WrackEd. For more details on what pre-ordering entails, check out our pre-order page.

It’s going to be a lot of fun!

That’s right! Because we want one of the big appeals of Wrack to be maps and mods created by you all, I’d like to give a few lucky people the chance to started right away. You’ll get the level editor, WrackEd, along with anything else needed to start modding (mostly, all you need is Notepad!).

If you’re definitely looking forward to making some maps and/or mods, go ahead and let me know. Please show some samples of what you’ve done if you want to be seriously considered. You can reach me at bmc431@gmail.com.

Oh, and one last thing: If I’m here talking about giving some people Wrack early, you can (correctly) infer from that WE ARE ALMOST DONE! Wrack will be available for pre-order very soon now!

Thanks, and I look forward to what you all come up with!

Sadly, these levels (along with most of episode 1′s maps) are completely unlit, undetailed, and untextured. To right this wrong, I’ve decided to speed the mapping process along by bringing someone else onto the team.

I’m looking for someone to take level layouts and sculpt them into something beautiful. This involves texturing, lighting, architecture, etc. If making pretty levels is a strength of yours, then you may have what it takes to join our team!

Also, you will be paid for this. So, yeah. There’s that.

Anyway, if you’re capable of taking godawful pieces of shit like this:

… and turning it into masterful works of art like this:

… let me know! Please show some samples of your work.

Thanks!

I’m very pleased with the results, and I hope you are too. We’ve had a lot of fun putting it together, and there’s still plenty more fun to come! Be sure to share your opinions of the site, logo, and trailer in the comments section, or in our brand-spanking new forums!

Thanks everyone!

There’s a lot that’s going to be coming down the pipes. Within the next week alone:

• The new name will be revealed
• The logo will be revealed
• The new website will be launched
• The first trailer will be unveiled
• DNF will magically turn into an awesome game (okay, no guarantees on that last one, but anything’s possible, right?)

But hey, you don’t have to wait upwards of a week for the fun to begin! For those who haven’t noticed my Twitter messages, or haven’t visited the Facebook page recently, I’ve shared what turns out to be the game’s icon. What does it look like? It looks like this!

Stay tuned!

That’s right! We’ll be there, and we expect to see you there as well! It gets bigger and more fun every year with more and more Doomers, so let’s keep that trend going! Project Vega developers TheDoomFreak and yours truly will be there with the latest version of Project Vega (which should have its website all set up and be fore sale by then! ), and we’ll try to make it a lot of fun for everyone.

So start making plans, and register here! If you want to reserve a seat, we’ll be sitting in B10 (specifically, I’ll be in B10-10), near the console village.

See you there!

While discussing possible names, we’ve had a lot of talks about what goes into a great name. Some people have told me short, simple, powerful words are the way to go; others like a sleek, catchy phrase; some like acronyms… but I told them “No! You know what makes for a great game name? SPONSORSHIP!”

You see, financing a big indie game like this is tough – we have a lot of up front costs and don’t see any revenue until much farther down the road. But by working some product placement into the name, we start getting revenue immediately! It’s brilliant! Sure, it might cheapen the gaming experience and make me look like a cheap whore, but that’s better than going under, right?

Anyway, I know you guys are just dying to know the new name, so without further ado, Project Vega’s permanent new name is…

VIAGRA ADVENTURES

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do! Thanks to Pfizer, Inc. I think our financial future looks bright!

To avoid confusion with another game that’s coming out sometime soon, we’ll be dropping the name “Last Bastion” (which – let’s face it – a lot of people didn’t care for anyway!). I was hoping to have a new name for you guys, but despite weeks of trying to think of something new, I still have yet to settle upon something I really like. I want to get it right this time, and don’t want to settle for a sub-par name. Hopefully we’ll be able to announce a new name soon. … oh yeah, and when we do, it will likely be accompanied by a new website!

Also, big news concerning our first release!

I’m changing up our first release plan. Instead of releasing an alpha, we’ll be doing a pre-order system. By pre-ordering episode 1 of the game (I almost typed “Last Bastion” there – oops!), you’ll get an account which will give you access to the current version as well as updates as we continue to make it! So, instead of getting stuck with an incomplete and possibly buggy (and shitty) version of the game, you’ll get to come along for the ride as we make it! We’ll be able to fix issues, listen to your requests, add features for modders, and most importantly – continue to develop content for, and finish up the game!

That should all be a lot of fun, and it’s coming up soon! Hopefully we’ll be all done and ready to go this summer. Until then…
