A long time ago, Darthlupi and I started working on a game called Velella. Although Avaus is close to completion, I recently shifted my focus back to Velella. As Darthlupi mentioned in a recent interview, we'd like to get Velella finished soon. I won't say how soon because my time estimates always seem to end up grossly inaccurate.

Here are a couple new screenshots from Velella:

Oh my God yes. I remember playing this demo a long time ago and I always wished you guys would come back to it. So much fun potential.

And that interview with Lupi is quite entertaining. A nice change from the average indie-dev interview, I think.

Holy, I thought this ended up being vaporware.  I'm so glad to see it's return to the spotlight.  Please keep us informed on both of these projects.

Yeah, I definitely thought that this project was either abandoned ages ago, or I had just hallucinated the whole thing. Actually, it's entirely possible that I'm hallucinating this blog, so... yeah.

no, that was not a little girl squealing with giddy joy.
it was me.
and i'm not 'fraid to admit it.

Fucking finally.

...really?

I had honestly given up hope on this ever being released years ago.

Hey, I'm glad this thing is still in your thoughts, this game will be amazing.

Seriously? This is the best news I've heard in a while. I was in love with that demo. It's an incredible engine. I guess I too had sorta given up on the release of the full game, though.

Best of luck to you fellows. I look forward to it hugely.

Screen shots look beautiful. The art work looks interesting and all the objects fit in together. I'm going to have to play this when the full version is released.
