No title yet for the home videogame and computer systems history book,

The book has been re-scoped to only cover the first 15 years of home
videogame and computer systems (setting up a possible series) and is
back on as a full color, glossy production. It should be finished

One section of 35 Years of Home Videogame and Computer Entertainment

potential television project. |
| |
|
01/19/2006:
"Mike Vox" will no longer be working on Antic Aardvark comics for
the book. In his place will be "GJS", who joins Bill Loguidice and
Rene Jack. Also, Bill and Matt Barton have once again reunited as
a team for what will hopefully end up being even greater "art" than what
they've accomplished previously. |
| |
|
12/10/2005:
This will probably be the last update before the new year, when Bill
Loguidice needs to go into overdrive to finish the 35 Years book.
The cover artist had a scheduling conflict, but the publisher assures
that their in-house person will be able to handle the task just fine.
More comics for the book are being finished as well by "Mike Vox", Rene
Jack and Bill (preview of one text-less panel to the right). Finally, Bill is just about done plugging the holes
in his videogame and computer collection for proper coverage in the
book. |
 |
| |
|

05/23/2005:
Myth Core team members are currently involved in a separate book
proposal project currently making the rounds at various publishers and
comic strip development for possible
Armchair Arcade
usage. Specific Myth Core project work will be resumed once those
two external projects are at a stable point. |
| |
|
02/05/2005 - 02/16/2005:
New concept art added under "Concept Media". Additional
art added on regular basis thereafter. Story outlining is taking
place to lead into chapter development. |
| |
|
01/28/2005:
Big changes! Matt Barton is no longer affiliated with Myth Core
and the remaining team has decided on the final direction of their first
project. "Project Myth" will now be a novel based on an original
dark faery tale universe first conceived in 2003. Mini-games -
first for PC - will still be worked on as time permits, but the main
focus will be on the book. If the book is received well, we'll
decide what other areas to move ahead with the property, or instead work
on the next fresh idea. |
| |
|
12/14/2004:
Matt is attempting to do open source development on the mini-game he is
directing. Bill is doing music programming tests and continuing
work on the back story/novelization, while also moving towards
development of a design document for his mini-game. |
| |
|
12/05/2004:
The back story is still in progress. What happens after that is
open. |

Bill's "one button" mini-game is still under development. |
| |
|
08/09/2004:
Two mini-games are currently under development, one by Matt Barton and
one by Bill Loguidice. Each game uses different development
technology and is not necessarily related to "Project Myth", which will
be undertaken once the full team is in place. |
| |
09/22/2003: Three mini-games are now under development, code-named as a group, "Project Team". These mini-games will likely make use of the game world created for the future "Project Myth" dark faery tale computer entertainment product. |
