It's going to be a hardcover book. And I wanted to make it palatable. Palatable. Desirable, I guess, is a better word for both RPG players and Phantasy Star fans. I'm like a gigantic Phantasy Star fan. And so, like, even if, like, I didn't play RPGs, I wanted to make a book to be like, yeah, I want that book.

Yeah, a lot of things that people haven't really, you know, seen or read about or seen, like, you know, So someone said, I read something recently. Well, I already got what I wanted out of it. I sent like a preview sketch of characters. Someone said something like, I got to see like my favorite, like official art for my favorite character from like 35 years ago. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

Before that, I'm putting together, because we are not crowdfunding, I can kind of present the game the way that I want to. I guess that's the advantage. So I'm putting together a starter kit, like a starter adventure that's going to come out.

Hopefully within the next couple of months. It's not going to be like a starter box. It's not going to be a starter box or anything. It's going to be digital, but it's going to be a, you know, since I'm making the game for... for both, you know, old RPGers and for fans. It's going to be, here's an intro adventure. Here's kind of like a starter on how to play with the rules.

And it's going to be, you know, set in an event that happens during the very first game so that people that are getting into the game, they're already familiar with the scenario.

And it uses the four main characters of the original game. that you can play while you're running the adventure. So I thought that was kind of a cool idea. I'll have that up there. And then the plan is for people that are getting into it that way, then maybe I'm going to offer probably special discounts for people that want to purchase the book going forward, people that are really interested.

So Fantasy Star Online is a different... So when Fantasy Star Online came out, they actually took the entire classic story and all the characters in Fantasy Star and kind of forgot about them.

Yeah, it's like a whole different timeline and a whole different thing. I plan on introducing some Phantasy Star Online elements, you know, and some art and kind of like putting in some of those online elements in the gameplay as well without necessarily directly connecting the two because they're not really connected.

I do now. So when I thought about the original artwork, I was like, well, the original artwork is... Yeah, yeah. Well, no, no, no. I mean, it's great artwork, but the computer artwork, it's also very old. It's dated, yeah. It's not only that, but it's not even anything that I would be able to use for an actual production. Oh, okay.
