Since I lack any new icons to release, I thought I'd go ahead and reveal all of our general plans.

Right now, we're at a headstand.

Fug has been constantly going on Vacations or busy, so coding there's slow.

Zane has been swamped with Schoolwork, Pixel art work is slow.

Axerob is waiting for Fug and Zane really, being in charge of producing the Gaiden Games

And I've been wrapped around so many peoples fingers it's hard to concentrate on this.

We are not abandoning the Project however.

We are indeed still looking for Pixel Artists, really nothing else. Details can be found here: http://www.byond.com/developer/forum/?id=776307 .



Now, we do expect this as is to be a very uphill battle. We don't expect to finish soon.




For those of you who do actively support Project TH, we might actually put up a Donation thing with a specialized Email + Paypal.

The purpose of this will be to collect Donations, which, sadly to say, and I'm going to be breaking my own promise on this, will be used to hire more PAs as needed. I don't have much of a choice, I'd rather shove my pride on trying to make this team all earn straight from the Donations aside, than let the game fail.


To those of you who don't support us. Well. You ain't getting presents from us this Christmas!


We hope to actually have progress for you 2 weeks from now. Thank you all for your time reading this.

You got a yea+ from me, Good luck with the game!

You seem to have a nice team, Axerob, Zane444, Fugsnarf and yourself.

Sounds like your ideas so far and everything are coming nicely, Though it seems the same as the rest of Byond, with the problem of lack of pixel artist's, But yeah anyway Good Luck!

I'll support you, In hope of getting a Christmas present!

P.s. i wish i could donate, but i really can't afford to at the moment, I'm sorry.

I know Teka, just the sentiment helps us a lot to know someone actually is interested in the project.

Later today though I'll be making a 2nd post with the Donation Link, and plugging it into the page, probably with Fugsnarf's help (and a wrench, specifically this wrench:

There is only one thing I don't like about the project: the name.

Twilight Herald just doesn't do anything for me. And a lot of people are going to think it's about vampires until they find out what it really is.

Oh goodie, I get the option to donate to a project that as of yet hasn't shown anything except text and a few pictures of sprites.

I think I'll hold off until I actually see the game, to be honest.

It wouldn't really be called donating in this situation, more like investing.

Sucks to be them for being Vampfags.

As it is Vampires and Werewolves are only fodder in our game design plans.

If someone wants their Vampires/Werewolves playable, they better be willing to donate a lot (I mean a LOT) of money. TH itself will remain Vampire/Werewolf free play-able wise unless we recieve appropriate compensation. This has been agreed amongst the team.

I mean that seriously too.


@Oasis: *Points to Fugsnarf's entry on the Blog*

@Sandlight: Thanks for the correction, whatever's invested though will go straight to PAs, meaning you'll actually SEE work done in exchange :S. None of us have a serious income who's still on the team. So we got to make do with what we got.
