Ocean Book / Magical Academy

[Mingnon]

I think it's been a while since we've heard about these games. Or perhaps I'm too lazy to see if there's been anything recent about them. All I know is from this blog entry:

www.mirrorrealms.com/blog/2011/12/29/the-development-of-ocean-book/

I can't wait to see the games once they come over here! >w<;;

Hi Ming, thanks for reminding us about those two games.

Unfortunately, the project of Ocean Book has been suspended due to technical problems that Cold Breath has encountered with development of 3D technology in Flash. They may come back to it in the future once they find the appropriate third party to work with.

However, they tend to focus on developing Avalon School of Witchcraft and Wizardy quite seriously nowadays; if you use browser with google translator (e.x. Chrome) you can follow news about the game in this part of Artifact blog:
blog.artifact.jp/?cat=8
It already looks quite exciting! I will be posting more info on Mirror Realms blog as well to keep track of the process for all the players.

Oh! And it appears that Artifact has another game called Torinesia! o^o

Torinesia is so fun you should play it! Anyway, I'm looking forward to having these games in our International Version (or English version) Avalon's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry presents new art style, new 'battle/play' style (card game) and many more! (By the way really excited with elevators and dorm so I hope once artifact is done developing it, we should get news of it not in the jp ver but on the int. ver)

blog.artifact.jp/?cat=8 The blog has updated and it seems there's an item design contest going on. There's also some new scenery on the contest page, and it's really nice and colorful.

Can't seem to translate the blog entry though.

i hope someone make a good design contest

[spongy]

Auto google translate can't seem to translate. Here is what the blog entry says:


Hello, this is Artifact.
As of today, we have started accepting submissions for
the 6th Fashion Design Contest.


The theme for the contest is "Wizard"
In the game "Avalon's School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry" which is currently in development, there
is a point taken in various locations. It is the
equipment that can be synthesized in the items that
can be collected from there.
Since this is public, please try to design
with the reference to permitting. To those who won a prize in the contest, the first set of artifact scratch items will be the
prize. We will present a "Diamond Dust" item for
the 1st/Grand Prize. "Nostalgic Fairy" will also be presented as prize
for the 3rd place.

Please try to get a prize. Any design is fine, may it
be cool, cute, mysterious, or ingenious. In addition to this,
I will be waiting for your application.

Huh? blog.artifact.jp/?p=3106

Howlin' is going to end service!?

[spongy]

Umm, the date on the post stated that it's June 29. They just took a break, that's all. They continued afterwards. Anyway a new post has been added today, and it shows some of the places in the school. blog.artifact.jp/?cat=8

It's good to see animated background! I like how the star floats in the garden.

Here's what it says:
Hello, this is artifact.

The first news is the title of the new service has been officially decided!
I was determined by the Avalon Magic School. Thank you very much.
Informations about the development of Avalon's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have been delivered.
Today, we will introduce the 5 development information that we have shown
in the previous videos.

Nice Spongy! I think it's more or less understood so I will just add link to the video and a few pictures from the School of Witchcraft to better visualize it here:









It's indeed something to look forward to!

[Mingnon]

Ah, thank you spongy, and sorry for wigging out there.

I am looking forward too! ^.^
