Speedy

Hi all! Just a reminder that this month's Press Start: Bonus Levels cartoon is a very short one. We've been gearing up for a five-part miniseries that starts November 24, and we needed some extra prep time.

But included with the "speed run" is an interactive WANTED poster with info about key members of the Resistance -- the ragtag bunch of adventurers who oppose the villainous Count Vile. You'll be seeing more of them starting next month. There's some familiar faces as well as some new ones...

And hey, at least it's not a clip show! ;-)

As an extra feature, you can also download the following mobile versions of the "speed run" to take with ya:

3GP for cell phones

MP4 for PSP

MP4 for iPod

Anniversary... Sorta.

Good grief! It’s been a year since we started this blog, and here we are, still chugging along.

However, we’re not far off. There’s only about 10-15% left to film, and the editing process has already begun. More than that, there’s some fantastic CG stuff in the works right now!

That reminds me: have you signed up for the Dark Maze Studios newsletter yet? If not, you’re missing out. Each month you’ll get the latest news on “Press Start” as well as access to exclusive content! We’ve shown off concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, alternate publicity shots, and for October we also included a rough CG test animatic of Count Vile’s lair!

What else is new? Well, we’ve got a big update on the Press Start: Bonus Levels front. First, the bad news: there won’t be a full-fledged episode for October. HOWEVER, there’ll still be something pretty groovy to see come the 27^th, so do check it out. And the reason for the semi-hiatus? We’ve been gearing up for a five-part “Bonus Levels” story arc that begins in November! So stay tuned, and get ready to meet a bunch of new characters who have joined in!

And now, back to work. We’re looking forward to this flick as much as you are!
