I'm definitely considering it. I've never had a blog before, any suggestions on where to go or how to go about it?

I got on here and was all excited to see your new update. I'm loving the concept behind Fimbulvetr. Your new GUI looks good and it does seem more intuitive. Maybe, later, you could have a mini-portrait of the character you are selecting next to their selection bar. Not exactly crucial to design, bu...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMBndxdyABU Hello, everyone! I'm back with a new update, and a video showing it all off. I've made a lot of changes graphically, both to the user interface (through lots of suggestions and feedback) as well as to purely aesthetic portions of the map portion. In the vid...

I wouldn't mind doing some basic map tiles that can be used in a tile constructor if you want a quick and easy way to make the maps a bit less, well, blobby. Ordinarily, up to about two weeks ago, I would have gladly accepted, as I've been looking for an artist to help me with such a thing for a lo...

Thanks a lot for taking a look. If you have any further feedback of any sort, I'm always interested. I'm looking for any and all comments and criticism I can get - the more, the better!

Hello everyone! It's been a while, but rest-assured, I've been hard at work getting lots of feedback and making lots of additions to Fimbulvetr. Finally, I have a Gameplay Demonstration Video ready - one that shows a "real" (loosely used term) match between a friend and I as we show all th...

Thanks a lot! Of course, art is a necessity, but currently a very low priority. Not to mention, finding even one artist willing to help has been all but impossible to date.

Hello again everyone. The time has come for my fourth and final preview video. By final, I don't mean the last video, but rather the last one that will come out without a downloadable barely-alpha executable for you to try for yourself! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPdXMu-EEHQ Things are progressi...

Hello again everyone! I've released a new video detailing my most recent additions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLd5vltQ_nU The battle is shaping up to be mostly complete in terms of its required basics. There's only a few things left, in terms of making the game playable and testable. Thanks aga...

A big thanks to all the supportive comments and thoughts from everyone! To answer some questions and comments: Although I haven't really revealed anything about the setting or theme so far (after all, that's not what really draws people in initially), the name Fimbulvetr is indeed referencing the Gr...

The first thing I noticed when watching the videos was that the graphics suck. The second thing I noticed was that you've done lots of work on this. Impressive amount of work. The third thing I noticed was that the animations are surprisingly varied and smooth compared to the character graphics. I ...

I've uploaded a new video regarding Fimbulvetr, which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhkrmLgEYgs This shows some of the new things I've added recently - blocking, grabbing, throwing, and some new moves - as well as going into detail on some of the complexities of the system. It's ...
