It's nice to see what you've got going, but don't press yourselves so much to give teasers and reveal footage as that could also take away from valuable work time. It's because you're a small company, yet so dedicated to this project that people trust you and believe in you just as I do too. Indie companies are beginning to make a mark in this world, slowly becoming as apparent as the big name companies themselves and it's all because of the honest efforts that are put into your work. Long story short, I think the truly faithful appreciate updates but also acknowledge the game as more than one hundred times more important than reminding us of your diligence. Best wishes in all of your endeavors! As long as you can acknowledge progress, so will the truly faithful follow you to the very end.

The Algol looks awesome. Yeah, I think you ARE alone in that. The Algol looks awesome.

In my opinion the "super FX 2" type effects used there feel cheap, out of place, and have far less appeal than several frames of 'hand-drawn' sprite animation would. (just my opinion!) otherwise, wonderful video. Some of those background graphics - Temple of the Sun in particular - are simply gorgeous!! each piece of new information makes me more excited for this game -- I would definitely love to see more screens and videos as progress continues, and I think these would be a great way to get people's attention.

Generally, people will probably react as expected, "Is this finished product?" Maybe a title at the beginning stating very clearly some graphics are still under construction could stave off a number of those comments however. Continue to work hard, we await the release!

Thank you for clarifying the single-color enemy sprites, I figured you guys were going to add in the complete enemy art later. There's certainly going to be a lot of it. I think it's not a bad idea to keep showing new screens, as long as (like DarkTetsuya said) they're marked with WIP and you explain along the way "this is going to change, this enemy isn't finished." That should hopefully cut down on the questions. I love the WIP videos and images, personally.

I love that you have this blog on your state to keep us up to date with what is going on. It may have already been answered before, but will the WiiWare version of "LA-MULANA" let you switch between the new improved graphics and the original graphics ala "Cave Story"? Keep up the great work! Thanks. From what I saw in the video, the game looks great in action! I love that you have this blog on your state to keep us up to date with what is going on.

It not only reassures people that you are doing your best and your working hard, but it will also show that you are giving it you're all and that you are continuously experimenting with all the elements to get everything just right, which in the eye's of people will portray professionalism and respect. As well it's a fantastic way to get some publicity mind you! As everyone always likes to see what goes into a game and the steps on making one. After all, people are always fascinated with the creation of some thing, whether it be a rubber band, a sky scraper, a movie, or even a game in this case.
