And the winner is...

Ladies and gentlemen, our winning wallpaper courtesy of Jonathan J. Our budding artist will be receiving a free copy of Pier Solar and some serious kudos in the mail.

*Kudos may not be honored.

Back in our little cave of development he--aven, things have hit a BLISTERING pace. That's right, BLISTERING. In capital letters! The script is now finished entirely. A little bit of proofreading to correct minor grammatical errors and spelling mistakes will be on-going throughout the project but what's in it's pages will be what you'll be reading come launch. And for the record, the thing went through six separate drafts so if you don't like it you can just **** right off.

Smiles!

Composition of the game's delicious music tracks are going strong and hopefully we'll have some new samples for you guys to listen to soon. Trust us, even without the enhanced soundtrack, you're in for a treat. With the enhanced soundtrack your mind will be blown. Like in Pulp Fiction. Ker-SPLAT!

We've also got good news on the publicity front. German game mag extraordinaire, M! will be covering us in an upcoming issue. So if you speaks the lingo, go buy a few copies (or a hundred!) and lay upon them, basking in their warm previewiness. We plan on doing it, possibly nekkid.

Off in the distance the whips are a-crackin' so it's time to get back to work. Thanks again to all those who submitted wallpapers and congratulations to our winner! Cheers kids!

Christmas Give Away Time!

We at Watermelon Development were witness to something disturbing this week. Our intrepid project leader Tulio stumbled upon a spy in our midst, hungrily rummaging through our development vault in an attempt to get an early glance at our game. This vicious villain went by the last name "Claws" and sported the most horrific red attire - surely dyed with the blood of the innocent.

When confronted with his crimes, he used the smiling faces of gamers on Christmas morning as a defense, threatening to add us to some sort of "list" (a hit list we presume) for delaying our upcoming RPG and destroying the dreams of countless old school gamers.

Needless to say, The Fonz would have none of his threats and the picture below tells the story of what happened next.



Nevertheless, our defeated foe's words struck a chord with us and we thought it unfair to leave you all Pier Solar-less during the holiday season. So here's the plan, but it requires a little work on your part.

We're giving away one (1) free copy of Pier Solar to the person who designs the best PS wallpaper. Use whatever you want to put it together, just make sure it looks good on your desktop. Once you're finished, email it to wolfrider31 at hotmail dot com with the subject line reading Pier Solar Submission. The best of the best will have their choice of a free Pier Solar game in any flavor they wish.

Go forth anonymous artists, and bring us Pier Solar greatness.

(Oh, and you'll also have your WP published on our site. Which in some cultures is considered an honor.)

Happy Holidays everyone, and tune in next week for another Pier Solar progress update!
