The party will start now (not much time before the next job we know)&#8230;</p>
<p>We just want you to know you are awesome. We also want you to know that completing the impossible is all in the day&#8217;s work for the Fates Crew. We also take a swing after ever sentence. So this is filler.</p>
<p>Thanks again guys, that was a lot of fun! Cheers!</p>

We won best short at Scream Fest in Los Angles, the biggest horror festival on the west coast&#8230; maybe the world. It definitely is the biggest horror industry event out there. Lots of fake blood too.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a pic of über producer Jen Luk hoisting the 728 lb golden skull award for our 2.5D animated film <a href="http://posthumanthemovie.com/">POSTHUMAN</a>. That&#8217;s also how she deals with slacking animators too, just lifts them by the neck for a good throttling. Look for Jen &amp; Cole on tour with the film as it plows through the festival circuit. We play <a href="http://www.bbff.com.au/" target="_blank">Australia</a> next mate.</p>
<p>While we&#8217;re tootin&#8217; our horn on this, you can read the high praises from these <a href="http://twitchfilm.com/2012/09/posthuman-is-adrenaline-fueled-anime-goodness.html">Twich Film</a>,  <a href="http://www.filmthreat.com/reviews/55201/">Film Threat</a>, <a href="http://www.goseetalk.com/fantastic-fest-review-drawn-and-quartered-shorts/" target="_blank">Go See Talk</a>, and<a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/58718" target="_blank"> Ain&#8217;t It Cool News</a>  reviews.</p>
<p>Now it might be time to get a network to turn this into a bonafide series dammit.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://fatescrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/MM_BASICS_01.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-3120];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3121" title="MM_BASICS_01" src="http://fatescrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/MM_BASICS_01-450x253.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>Wow, I guess we haven&#8217;t posted anything for a while.  <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/15/comic-con-avengers-assemble-and-hulk-and-the-agents-of-smash-test-footage-shown" target="_blank">We&#8217;ve been really busy on animation projects that we can&#8217;t really share or post about here</a>. Yeah, we sold portions of our souls to Marvel\Disney&#8230; but not to worry&#8230; we&#8217;re still your favorite  indie animation studio.  To prove that fact, we proud to announce our first fully in-house produced video game. Sure we&#8217;ve done a ton of game work in the past for clients like Ubisoft, EA, Bungie, and Microsoft, but we&#8217;ve never developed our own game from start to finish in-house.</p>
<p><a href="http://fatescrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/MM_BASICS_02.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-3120];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3123" title="MM_BASICS_02" src="http://fatescrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/MM_BASICS_02-450x253.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>So because we haven&#8217;t updated in forever, we&#8217;re going to show you guys everything from the very beginning on this game development. This game is going to be centered around the Mista Mountain character from the <a title="The epic true-life story of a half-japanese guy and the insane friends that ruin his life." href="http://joeisjapanese.com" target="_blank"><em>Joe is Japanese</em></a> series and his <a href="http://joeisjapanese.com/manga/JiJ/5/" target="_blank">epic battle to rid the Yamanote Line of the Chimpira scourge</a>.  Basically it&#8217;s a 2D side scrolling fighter. We&#8217;re trying to get inventive in this old school genre. The real-life Mista Mountain has a unique fighting style and we&#8217;re going to attempt to capture his techniques  in a fun to play head-crackin&#8217; scroller, about his real life exploits on the train loop of Tokyo, Japan.</p>
<p><a href="http://fatescrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/MM_CHIMP_01.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-3120];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3124" title="MM_CHIMP_01" src="http://fatescrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/MM_CHIMP_01-450x253.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>Stay tuned for a ton of updates as we develop this game.  Keep a close eye here on our animation studios&#8217; production blog for on-going updates&#8230; and eventually maybe even some playable beta versions!</p>

<p>Thanks in every way to readers like you that are sharing this mini-comic! The<a href="http://http//www.searchdogfoundation.org/" target="_blank"> Search Dog Foundation</a> has notified us of some good donations coming in our honor, and we couldn&#8217;t be happier. Well we could be happier&#8230; if  YOU would<a href="http://www.searchdogfoundation.org/zcom/donation/display.do?compid=98&amp;prodid=8173" target="_blank"> donate now</a> to help the <a href="http://http//www.searchdogfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Search Dog Foundation</a>.  It’s an unsung group that has sent rescue dogs to find people in over  75 deployments- including the World Trade Center attacks, Hurricane  Katrina, the Haiti disaster, and now in Fukushima, Japan. <strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>The comic has been reprinted by <a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/03/kogas-email-earthquake-comic/" target="_blank">Wired Magazine</a>, <a href="http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/" target="_blank">New York Times</a> by columnist<a href="http://revkin.tumblr.com/post/4138176739/animators-outlook-on-tragedy-a-manga-about" target="_blank"> Andy Revkin</a>, <a href="http://creativity-online.com/work/humoring-the-fates-kogas-email/22778" target="_blank">CREATIVE</a>, <a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/node/49049" target="_blank">Ain&#8217;t It Cool News</a>, <a href="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/03/29/joes-story/" target="_blank">Bleeding Cool</a>,<a href="http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/03/animators-illustrate-colleagues-earthquake-story/" target="_blank"> Comic Book Resources</a>, and hopefully a lot more that we&#8217;ve probably missed. We&#8217;ve released this mini-comic as a<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/" target="_blank"> creative commons license</a> so we encourage you so share, re-post, or re-print it anywhere you like. For free.</p>
<p>Please share the crap out of this comic it seems to be inspiring people to donate to the SDF but we&#8217;ve still got a long way to go&#8230; I feel like I&#8217;m on a pledge drive for PBS, but dammit people this is important.</p>
<p>Thanks again to everyone that has given their support!</p>
