Hey guys! Been a little while, but we've got a new Seeds of Fate demo out!

You can find all the links & info here: bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…

Or, if you don't mind sitting through a half dozen seperate deviantART checks for leaving the site...

Here're seperate links:
Dropbox Download: dl.dropbox.com/u/7478239/Seeds…
Mediafire Download (mirror): www.mediafire.com/?i993cm7phsf…
Bug Thread: bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…
Balance Thread: bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…

There's a whole mess of new content and new features. Sadly, as previously stated you cannot use savegames from the previous demo. There are also a number of bugs, sadly, which we haven't been able to work out.

If you guys can help us out by posting here or, preferably on the forums with any bugs or balance issues you encounter, or any feedback in general, go ahead!

ALSO: just going to say this now because a lot of people have commented on it. In the stealth section in the desert base DASHING will alert the guards to your presence. You have wo WALK to sneak around them. Sorry this isn't well explained in the game itself, we'll look at it for the next release.

Hey guys! I won't make this too long, already got a lengthy post over on Bastion Works. Saburo X, Axel Rosered and myself just released a demo of an RPG we've been making in RPG Maker VX. If you're interested you can find the details and the download link here: bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…

Miss Mars S2E3

1 min read
Hey guys, thought Bastion Works was done for the year? Well, we've got one last update before Christmas rolls around... another chapter of Miss Mars!

I won't get fancy with the link since deviantART just hates that. Here you go;

bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…

This chapter's short but sweet, and I hope you all enjoy it. Make sure to comment if you've read it, give us some feedback and your thoughts.

I usually blab on but I'm posting this late at night so I'll keep things short. I hope you guys enjoy the Miss Mars chapter and have a Merry Christmas, or whatever holiday you celebrate.

EDIT: seriously, what the hell is up with linking stuff on dA? Does anyone know? Every time I make an A HREF link, the result is just a link that points at my page. WTF is up with that?

Hey guys, I know it's been a while, but I've got some news for you!

New Miss Mars Chapter!
bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…

Season 2, Episode 2, "Once Upon A Time" is now up on the forum. I won't jaw your ears off talking about it since those who are interested are probably going to read it straight away. Suffice it to say that this is just about my favourite Miss Mars chapter to date, and I'm really happy to be posting it.

I also posted a new story on Bastion Works recently; Trick or Treat.
bastionworks.com/Library/story…

As you might be able to guess from the title, this was a Halloween story, for the site's Halloween update. I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween, I certainly had some fun. This is a short story, aiming for short and (sickeningly) sweet. Feedback on the forum is always appreciated.

Oh, and last but not least, it was Saburo X's birthday a couple of days ago, so I hope you all wished him a happy birthday.

Well, that's it for this update. Peace out, chaps.

EDIT: I forgot dA hates links.

Hey, been a while since I updated or posted stories. Today was my birthday and I thought I'd give a little back, so I've done a couple of things on Bastion Works!

Number one, I uploaded the first part of a two or three part illustrated story to Bastion Works. The story is called Between Good and Evil and you can read it here: bastionworks.com/Library/story… be very appreciative if people also commented on it here: bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…

Oh, and while we're on the subject of stories, Saburo X recently posted a picture recently of a round elf lady called Aisha. I wrote a little something to accompany it, and you can read part of that her: bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop… Again, comments are very much appreciated.

Last but not least, I put up a new Writing Challenge on the forum. This week's, writing challenge IV (missed several), is to write about a pregnant girl being late. You can check that out here: bastionworks.com/forum/viewtop…

That's a lotta links, so hop to it.

Also, I've gotten some interest in old stories recently. While much of this is flattering, I really hate being asked "When is your X-Men Fic/Ascension/NFPT going to be finished/continued?" Most of the stories in question are six years old, so I'd hope most people could take the hint, but if not, I did write a journal explaining why. darien-shields.deviantart.com/… I might put a link to it in all my journal entries if it helps divert more questions...

Sorry to end on that down noat, but it's become a bothersome trend. Be sure to check out all that other stuff if you get a chance. Posting criticism/feedback is always appreciated. So, 'til next time...
