actually ryan has not updated since the end of july now.
I frequently check the blog ofcause but nothing since then.
Though I am trying to get a foothold in the door and get my hands on
the game so I can help with voices and sounds.
my last message from ryan about a week or 2 ago was that he is
working on network multiplayer support for the game and that is why
no updates though he was vary vague and since it took him ages to
respond I can only assume he is totally snowed.

Hello.
I'm not sure how many people have been following Greymatter
productions and reading Ryan's blog over at
http://www.greymatterproductions.com/blog/
I must admit I was checking regularly until about may, but then got
out of the habbit. Visiting the site again now however, I learn that
Ryan is working on another project in addition to the Boxing game
and developement sounds like it's chugging on very nicely. I am
however a little uncertain what exactly this game is.
ryan states in his blog that it's a side scrolling adaptation of a
board game called sparcle which I believe Michael Feyr was involved
in designing (ryan puts a link to the sparcle rules), I however
haven't heard of the board game exactly and am rather uncertain
about what form it takes. Mentions of goblins, ghosts, treasure and
adventurers grabbed my interest of course, particularly when Ryan
mentioned that the adaptation he's working on will be in the form of
a side scroller, sinse a fantasy themeed side scroller possibly with
rpg mechanics sounds distinctly interesting.
However, sinse I've not heard of the original game, and am unsure
how the rules work, I'm not exactly certain of the theme, complexity
or anything else. For instance will there be a stats system? player
classes? Weapons and armor to pick up and use? maybe magic or single
use items like a ring of floatation to survive a fall or a wand of
cold to freeze a fire pit?
while Ryan's blog sounds fascinating, I think for those who are not
familiar with the original game, ---- some more explanation of how
things work would be quite nice, if nothing else for anticipation value.
While he has provided the link to the original 83 page manual, I'm
slightly uncertain how much help that will be sinse I have never
heard of the game, have no idea what a sparcle board may look like,
(if there ever was! such a board), and also sinse the game is
changing from turnbased boardgame to realtime side scroller, ----
presumably with single player or multiplayer options, some of the
rules may be different, or there may be additions made to the game.
So, while I freely understand the game is still in developement and
testing, It would be great if Ryan, or possibly Michael could say a
little more about it just to give us unenlightened, ---- or maybe
non sparcling! an idea :D.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
