Hey there everybody! Jacob here! We've had some exciting stuff happen sense last month, so let's get right to it! Art update!
First, before we get into the really big announcements, we have some art that has been completed! Raeis finished up not one, but TWO new CGs for the opening section of the game. This first one is for when you end up visiting Judith a bit earlier than she expected. And this second one...
...this second one might be my favorite CG in the game. New potential cover art? We shall see. The VAs have been decided! After a month of auditions and lots of great takes, my team and I have decided on who will be voicing each character if the kickstarter is successful! It's really exciting to have something like this on the table, so without further delay, here is our talent! As Oliver, we have cast Charles Nguyn!

[previewyoutube=nQeLP4HOX3A;full][/previewyoutube] As Judith, we have cast Phebe Fabacher [previewyoutube=UvDTv4nel4k;full][/previewyoutube] As Ashton, we have cast Bradley Gareth [previewyoutube=3Q6OIJHNvvs;full][/previewyoutube] As Andi, we have cast Maganda Marie [previewyoutube=7Mp-w2MW930;full][/previewyoutube] As Emil, we have cast Grant Paulsen [previewyoutube=cfpZICGYQGE;full][/previewyoutube] And finally, we have cast Savvi Lee as Miss Lawrence [previewyoutube=85PhU74Gn-E;full][/previewyoutube] This is a really exciting opportunity to bring the story of Siren's Call to life even more. We have decided that voice acting will be the main focus of the upcoming kickstarter, as we feel its inclusion will really help give the scenes it's in a bit more punch. Which brings me to my next announcement... Escape Velocity's kickstarter begins September 15th!!! That's right! In two months, we are launching our kickstarter campaign. We still need a bit more time to spread the word and finalize some aspects of the page, but now that the voice auditions are done and the cast has been selected, I feel confident in setting this date in stone. Here's a few things you can expect from the reward tiers: *Dakimakuras of any character pairing you desire *Physical copies of Oliver's journal, Judith's cookbook, and much more *Beta access that lets you play the game long before anybody else *Oliver's T-shirt in the size of your choosing +AND LOADS MORE!!! For more kickstarter updates, please follow me either on twitter or follow the kickstarter's prelaunch page here. We've got lots more to reveal, and with your help, you can make this game the best it can possibly be! I legit cannot do this without your help, so if this project interests you at all, please consider giving these pages a follow. Anywho, that's about all I got for now! I'll give you guys more news as things progress, so until then, stay cool. Yours and stuck in Florida forever, Jacob
