Science Girls:

This fun little RPG should be out in the next month or so. You control a gang of schoolgirls (the Science Club) fighting off an alien invasion. Turn-based combat, but fast-paced... you won't need to sit around grinding experience levels in order to survive the next challenge. Also, the whole party is present in combat, ready to step in if the front line is incapacitated.

Bionic Heart:

Science Girls was fantastic, I love console style RPGs. Bionic Heart also looked really good. When does it come out?

Last I heard, Bionic Heart is pretty much complete except for the voice acting. They're hoping to have it finished around the end of this month, but I don't know for certain.

Because of all the voice recordings, it's going to be a much bigger download than Heileen was.

(bionic heart author) - yes unfortunately still miss a good amount of voices, so probably the game won't be ready until mid-July
The demo download will be around 25-30mb while the full version will be over 100mb!

They sound cool, but since I live in China I can't see youtube videos (without using rather underhanded tactics). T_T

Good luck with the voice acting. I hope everything goes more smoothly. ^_^

But the voice acting makes the game big!

Ohm, Hi, I'm new here! Nice to meet you all!

Love the Bionic heart video I wish I knew when I could get my hands on it. But alas the only game that interests me is Fatal Hearts two any idea if its in the works??? Thanks again!!!!

There will not be a direct sequel. There might someday be another game of similar style (puzzles + branching story) but it would be a totally different setting, totally different characters.

I really don't want to do anything further with the Fatal Hearts characters because I don't want to choose any ending as canon. All the endings might have happened. If people want to figure out what happens next, that's what fanfic is for.

Alternately if you can ever find any company that wants to buy the rights to make it an anime (unlikely!) and they ask me about the plot instead of just taking my ideas and making up whatever they want, it probably wouldn't follow ANY of the paths directly, and might draw out the interactions between the two sides much longer.

An anime would be a fantastic idea....and why not the concept is gripping and the plots would be able to unraval with each episode. 30 minute episodes with the unravelment style of the series Inuyasha would be excellent Ah to dream. Don't sell yourself short!! Believe me it is something you should persue.
