Progress with JUGGERNAUT II: Uprising is going incredibly well, a lot quicker than it did with the first game. We've actually got a current demo done with the overworld and world map implemented. It's a bit different than last time in that we've went with a pseudo-realistic map style and all you have to do is click on the locations to go there. As the games progress, I'd like to try and bring in a few non-pixelated things like character portraits too. I was initially intending to that this time around, but until my art gets to a level I'm happy with I think it's best to hold off.
As I've mentioned before, we're bringing voice actors into the mix and we've actually got a cast for all of the main characters and main villains of the game. I'm pretty psyched to see how it all turns out once everything is recorded and implemented. I've finished the script and we've been messing with battle dialogue ideas. The battle dialogue is pretty cheesy, not gonna lie, but it's going to be entertaining at the very least. The people we've brought in are very talented and I'm eager to really get started working with them all.

On a similar, but different note, Ender Story is almost finished. The version I've seen most recently (at the weekend) is outstanding. We've not got an awful lot left to do and the stuff that we DO have left to do is mostly straightforward. The current list of things we need to add is: Battle Rewards, Summon Levelling, Quest Menu, Party Member Switching, Cut Scenes, Saving and Loading.
A lot of that stuff can be tackled in quick succession and then it's the ever-classic sponsor hunt that we have to go through. As soon as we have the first two in I'm probably going to start grabbing footage for a trailer. I'll be sure to post it on here when it's done so everybody can see what it's like, hopefully it'll be impressive. I'm certainly happy with it!
My other game that should be finished, Earth Reborn, seems to have stopped momentarily. I haven't heard from the programmer in three weeks, but all the art, music and sound effects are definitely done as both me and Matt saw to those. I'd like it to be out in early October, but that's dependent on when I see the completed game. George, the programmer, is good though, so I have faith that he'll come through soon and we'll be able to show it off a bit.
Here's a picture from Ender Story for your viewing pleasure:
