			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So we probably won&#8217;t do this, but I thought we&#8217;d get some more outside opinions, out of curiousity and to help us make a decision &#8211; should we license out the Breath of Death VII code for other developers to make their own RPGs?</p>
<p>Pros:<br />
Helps developers who want to make RPGs but aren&#8217;t the best programmers.<br />
We could see some cool games from other developers out of this.<br />
Alternate source of income for us to help pay the bills between game releases.<br />
XBLIG might become THE place for RPGs on home consoles.</p>
<p>Cons:<br />
We could have an RPGMaker effect where lots of crummy RPGs get released.<br />
RPGs on XBLIG might all start to feel the same if they&#8217;re based on the same engine.<br />
Extra work &#8211; I&#8217;d have to go through and add documentation to explain how the engine works.<br />
Some people might waste their money, not realizing how hard an RPG is to make, even with an engine in-place (there are no user friendly editors with our system- it&#8217;s all code editing).</p>
<p>If we did decide to do this, the code license would probably cost a few hundred dollars ($300 sounds about right to me), but again, nothing is set in stone and there&#8217;s a very good chance we won&#8217;t do this at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would be easy to miss since it was only on the New Releases for a day or two due to a sudden rush of new games, but Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess just came out on XBox Live Indie Games for 240 MS points ($2 cheaper than the PSP version). It&#8217;s simple (not much more complicated than jumping up and not missing platforms), but it&#8217;s fun and has rather nice production for an indie game.</p>

<p>And if you haven&#8217;t played it yet, I highly recommend giving <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025855047d/">Dysnomia</a> a try. It&#8217;s a high quality Aliens-esque shooter similar to Alien Breed. Well worth the $3.  And to be honest, I&#8217;ve enjoyed it much more than the official Alien Breed remake on XBLA that came out last year.</p>

<p>First, we have some screenshots of the first town in the game. Townsfolk haven&#8217;t been added yet, but this ought to give you a nice idea of the kind of visual improvement we&#8217;ve made since our last game.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-543" title="Town1a" src="http://zeboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Town1a.png" alt="Town1a" width="640" height="360" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-544" title="Town1b" src="http://zeboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Town1b.png" alt="Town1b" width="640" height="360" /></p>
<p>Next, we have some animated GIFs of 2 of our main characters &#8211; Cthulhu himself and the lovely Umi.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-542" title="CthulhuspriteAnim" src="http://zeboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/CthulhuspriteAnim.gif" alt="CthulhuspriteAnim" width="48" height="48" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-545" title="Umi_Anim" src="http://zeboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Umi_Anim.gif" alt="Umi_Anim" width="48" height="48" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Finally, we have some additional songs from the game. We&#8217;re planning on releasing the entire soundtrack for free when the game comes out, but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy the music from two of the dungeon types - <a href="http://zeboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/cth_dungeon_cave.mp3">Caves</a> &amp; <a href="http://zeboyd.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/cth_dungeon_shrine.mp3">Shrines</a>.</p>
