I am officially closing the beta phase of Anima Prime. The game has been refined a lot over the past year, thanks to much input from a lot of players from all over the world. It's time to close that chapter and move to the final stages. I'm leaving the beta version up for download until the game is released (at which point it will be replaced with the free text-only version), but be aware that it differs from the final version in some significant ways.

We are currently in the "illustrations and layout" phase. At this point, we have the very ambitious goal of releasing the game at this year's Gamestorm convention at the end of March. However, it's more likely that it'll take another month or two, given my experiences with printing a proof, delivery, delays, and so on.

Thanks again to everyone who's played the game and provided feedback, ever since the alpha version in 2007. It wouldn't be half as awesome a game without you!
