Howdy, from now on our little dev posts will be written by Josh barlow. I will continue to post them here, but he is a far better writer and he will hopefully his posts will be more entertaining and contain less grammatical errors.

Hello present and future audience,

I am Josh Barlow and I am the one that will be bringing you the present and future of Screenboy Productions through these updating blogs. We (that is Screenboy Productions) are a tight knit, friendly, and small group of men with a love for video games. Pretty tried and true right? Any Indie Developer can, and does say, that they are video game loving adults that got together in a small group and through their friendship they will make great indie games. Well we here at Screenboy say that this is our backbone of what we hope to accomplish, but we hope to go deeper then that, we aren't going to be making piddly XLA or PSN games that you buy for 20 bucks and then put down after 20 minutes. We hope to make ground-breaking, genre-twisting, and excitement-inducing games.

And... we have started on our first.

We will be giving you the highlights of our creative processes, the highlights of our gameplay, the highlights of story, and some pictures that we know are highlights. About this first unamed game.

Lets get to it. These are all WIPs, which I am told mean works in progress for all that didn't know just like I didn't until about 20 minutes ago.

We have some sweet early unit pics ready for view:

We have some awesome "WIP" concept art:

I got you an early promo right here:

Well that is all I am allowed to show right now, because (you know) we are all secret agents working on this game and The President doesn't want us to show you everything we have... yet. I can say that we have A LOT more to come right in future months and weeks.

You may be wondering what this game may be. Well all I can tell you is that it is a turn based strategy game, with units and heroes that are based in an ancient fictional oriental Asia. We will be dabbling with unit powers and hero's might. We will be dabbling in environmental deformation, and we will be dabbling in a story based on political intrigue. We are still in the very beginning stages of our game and we are still getting our idea hammered out and non-arguable. Some features that we are currently "arguing" on is a "card system" for abilities and weapons to be given to packs of units and you would be able to keep a certain amount of them as a "deck" for the beginning of battle. The story consists of backstabbery (which isn't a real word) and two kingdoms warring not only against themselves but also against you.

So in closing I have some websites that you can sign up in or subscribe to and give your insight, and what you want to see in our game, be prepared to have us say no to you though. (I don't think we can fit pokemon in to our game, even if you scream and yell on the forums)
