This Friday marks the High School graduation of several of Atomic Entertainment Industries’ members, and the week leading up to today has been primarily used in preparation for graduation. As a result, there hasn’t been a much of progress on AEI projects.

Reading of Names

So, we’ve decided to use this update to recognize the graduating members.
Five of our most active members will graduate tonight: Jon Alleman, Joel Marzzarella, Darren Olah, Alyssa Ream, and Cory Tate.
There are also plenty of other seniors who have worked on AEI projects who will graduate tonight, such as Ibrahim Abdurrahman, Zach Davis, Brandi Fitch, Angel Gallaher, Kathryn McCracken, Samson Muthami, Emily Ott, Steven Reese, Brandon Shuman, Sinea Slattery.

Abroad

Joel Marzzarella will be leaving the country in a few days, so filming of Lazarus will be postponed. Regardless, editing will continue, and we’ll release part one as soon as we have a high quality final product to show.

Hello once again, everyone! We’ve got a few interesting things to talk about today, first off, some new developments with the Atomic Fusion card game.

Atomic Fusion’s First Prototypes

Yesterday we printed off the first finalized Atomic Fusion card. (Card #15, Scorcher) Here it is, scanned side by side with cards from some published card games.

We actually intend to make some additional alterations before publishing the game, such as bolding some of the more important text. The commercial printers and paper that The Game Crafter uses is of a higher quality than ours, but overall this is a pretty good idea of what AF cards will look like.

Lazarus Ongoing

Today we’re actually working on our third filming day for Lazarus: Forth from Ashes, our ongoing film project. We hope to complete filming for the first ‘episode,’ very soon. Once we do, editing will begin in earnest, and we’ll have something to show you all for our work. Other than that, there’s not much we want to say without posing spoilers.

[Insert Clever Goodbye Remark Here]

As always, we’ll keep you up to date on any new developments. Check back next week for more!

We have some exciting news on this Friday the 13th!

Lazarus Commences

We have finally scheduled a filming date for Lazarus! This upcoming Tuesday we’ll roll first footage on the film. If we make enough progress, part one of the film may be released very soon. We’ve decided that Lazarus will be released in multiple parts, as we complete each part. This is partly because we expect the film to be too long to release in one part, and partly so we can get it out to viewers as quickly as possible. We’ll keep you up to date as more progress in made.

Atomic Fusion’s Genesis

Just last Friday we scanned all the current handwritten Atomic Fusion cards into a digital format. They can now be seen on our Flickr page in their set here. We have been working towards making fully computer generated versions that will look much more professional, and we hope to publish them via The Game Crafter when these digital versions are completed. As with everything, we’ll keep you up to date via weekly updates.

Looking Ahead

Next week we’ll talk about how Lazarus filming went, and any other news. ‘Til then, Adios!
