A new page has been added to the "Technologies" list:
:: STS-101 Entdeckung-I
Sharing a striking resemblance to triangular UFOs seen in the early 21st century, this shuttle is the main vehicle used by human explorers in Adregalus Chapter 0: Heritage.
For high-res images, please visit the Adregalus flickr gallery.
Updates on the site will slow down a bit, mostly due to the fact that production on the "Heritage" series is picking up speed. Expect a few screenshots and storyboards within a few more weeks.
This project will mark my return to episodic story telling since the 5-part animated "A Dragon's Destiny" series; complete with a full cast of characters, and the use of new technologies to help tell a story.

For the first time ever, a complete map of the Uraeus solar system has been revealed.
Most of the Adregalus stories take place here, with the planets and their history playing a key role in many Akeshi and Ethonian cultures.
A high resolution map, and detailed info on each planet can be found at the links below:

"Savage Huskies" On The Big Screen? |
|
My college has an upcoming festival/show in February, at which students will be able to present their video productions on a silver screen, complete with red carpet, popcorn and movie posters!
On the left is a poster for an updated "SH" trailer, which will be shown at the festival. This enhanced version will feature a higher video resolution (1080p), and a few color corrections.
Check out the old trailer
(same footage/scenes) here.
In other news, 2010 will be an animation/movie year, starting with "Heritage".
Expect more info in upcoming months.

The project schedual has changed a bit, bumping the 8 part animated movie series: "Heritage", in full production, setting aside "Savage Huskies 2" until next year, 2011.
"Heritage" tells the story of mankind's first manned exploration of the alien planet, "Ethonia", and their accidental first contact with primative Ethonian and Akeshi tribes. It is an origins story, explaining the beginning of Ethonia's first monarchy, and the cultural seperation between both indigenous species, ultimately destroying an ancient Ethonian culture by having them follow the way of modern man.
The technology used to create this series will be similar to that used in the "Savage Huskies" trailer (see below, in older news updates), allowing far greater effects, the use of 3D, a higher video quality, and more realistic camera shots.
The narrative story telling of this series will be slow, focusing more on characterization, story, plot, with little to no action.
Here's a quick Akeshi concept image:

Thanks to the success of "Savage Huskies"
it has been decided to give the dogs one more mission:
"Savage Huskies 2" will be a short production
(and because of this, it will be an adregalus.net
exclusive only, unlike the first game), and is intended
to be one of my final projects for college.
After this, production will begin on two animated
movies: "Adregalus: Heritage", and possibly
"Forgotten Rites".
As for the game's details: the game plan is complete,
the story has been written, and development will
begin next year. Expected release date is 3rd Quarter
2010.
Currently, SH2 is planned to be a prequel, taking
place 25 years before SH1. Those who have read the
lore will know what it is about.
In the meantime, play
"Savage Huskies" here.

More info on "Savage Huskies 2":
In less than one week, the old engine has been improved,
tweaked, and a few new features have been added. So without
further ado, here are the core features of "Savage
Huskies 2"!
- The Player can toss grenades at an angle, which
can bounce off walls and hit enemies from behind.
There will be some tactics involved with these too,
such as throwing a grenade into an open tank hatch
to damage a boss character.
- It is now possible to pick up vehicles and throw
them! You can even break them down into multiple
parts and throw those as well (tires, gears, etc...).
- Entirely new enemies and player character. Nothing
will be re-used from SH1. New enemies include grenadiers
(you destroy them, they explode, damaging anything
in the area).
- Improved collision detection. The primary attack
range is bigger.
- It is now easier to pull off combos. No more insane
button mashing.
- You can select between secondary weapons, rather
than having only 1 across the game.
- Faster & more intense. This game takes place in
a warzone. Things will explode, hangers will crumble.
Lots of animated background effects.
- Since this game is a college project and development
time will be severely limited, there will be only
1 stage at most, perhaps even 2.
Expect a lot of concept artwork, screenshots and
more, beginning January 2010.
Estimated release date is Summer 2010.
