your toon looks a little super-imposed.. maybe look into shadow casting.. are you using a 2D or a 3D actor?

Love teh cover Art though... looks like "IN the Mountains of Maddness".. but in space!!! (everything is cooler when set in space)

3d actors rendered in 2d...  No full-blown 3d actors for this project, a lot of our animation is happening in Photoshop. 
Very sharp of you to notice the lack of shadows-  These will be implemented down the line with a slew of other 2d enhancements-  Our "screenshots" section should honestly be labeled "Process shots".
I'm very happy you like the poster, we have more promo stuffs on the way I'll post on WME first. 
If you meant "At the Mountains of Madness", the Lovecraft story, than THANKS!   :)

Yeah, the release has been pushed back;  the poster that reads "spring" should now read "fall"...   ::slug

I found that pushing to meet a predetermined deadline has killed some fine games. We'd like the details to shine so we're pushing back the clock...  (The ability to do so being the major reason make your own game! ;))

Thanks Onehundredmillionthousand times for showing interest in Europa-  This forum will be the first notified of release.

Thanks! So much to look at: landing spacecraft, huge station, hydroponics, a chick on monitor, the axe in action, fire-sprinkling...  ::thumbup
