over 4 years ago – Mon, Sep 16, 2019 at 09:38:05 PM

We just returned from the Argentina Video Games Expo and had a great showing! We can't thank you enough for your continued support during development!

Just some quick housekeeping things on our side:

We will have the Backer Kit set up and live this week. This will allow anyone else to purchase the vinyl that missed it, purchase a copy of the game if they missed the kickstarter, as well as get first access to some exciting new games we're providing discounted, early access to our Phantom Gear backers first!

Stay tuned for your Backer Kit email!

Hi everyone! Leo writing!

September started and we are finishing to define our development road map for Phantom Gear. With that out of the way, we are going to start producing assets for the new levels and enemies.

We feel inspired by your positive feedback. We took notes about some improvements a few people pointed out and we are going to implement them.

Campaing's cover art

I want to show you a speed painting of the cover art for the campaign that I made. It took me around 10 hours to complete it. In the middle of the process I rotated the picture's canvas a lot, so I hope you don't feel dizzy watching the video.

Fan Art

We have been receiving fan art from many artist since before the campaign started. We wanted to show all the love we our artist fans gave us so we ask them permission to show their art here:

Campaign founded party

This past August 25th, the owner of an arcade bar here in Buenos Aires invited us to celebrate that we successfully funded our campaign in his bar. This place is call "Bar El Destello", a good place to drink beer and play arcades. We took the opportunity to make a small party with family and friends celebrating what we have achieved. At the same time we showcased Phantom Gear to other people in the bar in a beautiful PVM that Agustín brought to the party.

Almost all the team was at the party. Marcos is studying in Japan at the moment, but his spirit is with us.
