Welcome to the official website of Lost Planet Studios (LPS). Take a look around the site for more information about the studio and the progress of our games. We hope you enjoy our work and stick with LPS. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments. You can e-mail us at lostplanetstudios@yahoo.com, or leave a message in our guestbook.

Its summer and LPS is ready to kick some ass! I bet you can't wait to see our new updates! So far we have a brand new episode of "The Machine" so check it out, we also have an exclusive new video called LPS behind the scenes #1. On that video you will be able to see the enviornment in which we work and just get a taste of what we do, and there will be more to come. Other updates include adding new pictures and updating the current projects page with new games. We have a brand new game in production that is due to be available to play in less than 3 weeks from now. You may also notice a "donate" bar on the home page, we are just throwing it out there in casual sense that if anyone wants to help Lost Planet get software and supplies to fund our meetings and produce games faster than before. We are not expecting any donations, we are independent, but if you would like to donate than feel free to do so. Thank you! We promise there will be more updates very soon.

Next weekend there is a big LPS meeting scheduled. However there will be a smaller meeting this weekend in which we hope to accomplish some minor goals that will help out next weekends meeting. The "Current Projects" page has been updated with current information so I hope you enjoy that. If you noticed the forum was deleted, that is because no one was interested in it, and we believe that it just isn't the right time for a forum to be up. It will return once we see that we are getting more comments and hits on the website. Next week, expect a new LPS talk episode, and some additional photos due to our release of prior members of the LPS Team. If you are interested make sure you go and check the "Join Us" Page! We are willing to make exceptions!

3.5.08

Currently we have a new episode of LPS Talk out! You'll quickly realize that it is a lot different than what it used to be. We changed the name and everything; LPS Talk will now be called "The Machine" so I hope you enjoy the name change. Let us know what you think. The LPS Team thinks its more "tech" sounding and flows well with the studio. The quality of our videos should also be slightly better, along with more video features. Check out the latest video by clicking on "The Machine" on the navigation bar. Yes work did get completed last weekend. We made sure we got plenty done. Expect some more secret projects in the future *hint-hint*.

2.2.08

We have launched our secret project and a new page on the site! Go ahead and check out the downloads page for more details. We are now working hard on PTA to get it done as soon as possible. However, the team has a long way to go. Our meetings should be coming more frequently which means more things to come.At this meeting we got a better view as to what is to become of the studio even though we spent most of our time into finishing the secret project.

1.7.08

At our last meeting we have accomplished the full guide for creating Project Titan Arcade. We now have a clear idea on how the game will be produced and what order things will come. At a meeting prior to this one we have established several new gameplay concepts that have changed around many of the levels, and has made our idea more original than before. Besides the guide being finished we have created a few general sprites for items and those will be worked on at a later time. Some music and SFX have been created and finalized so the audio department is seeing well on this game.

 There is still much more work to accomplish and at our next meeting there will be non-stop work on the game in order to catch up with lost time. We understand that we havn't been able to update the site much and also present much work to the public. We just don't want people taking our ideas and work, and even more so, school has gotten in the way of many things. I know it seems we say this all the time, but school really causes a problem when it comes to getting work done, and trying to plan a meeting takes much work in trying to get everyone to meet up all at once. We say we have done so much and say we are capable of so much, well we are not lying about this, it is just we have not had the time.

We have taken the liberty in puting up some concept work on the photos page, so feel free to take a look and see some of the things we are capable of. Make sure to join the forums as well; we check them every day and so far no activity. No one is going to join if no one is there, please keep that in mind. I hope you have a wonderful while till our next update, enjoy.

As we promised, the domain is now up and running! We are now www.lostplanetstudios.com. Spread the word, post the link, anything you can to show support! In other news, we are continuing work on Project Titan Arcade. Currently, work on character/enemies, and music/sfx are all being done simultaneously in order to increase productivity and hopefully have, at the very least, a playable demo by the end of the year.

The meeting last weekend was a success and much work was done.  The process of mapping the levels was started and the Gamemaker software was ordered.  Another meeting was planned and we expect to be even more productive next time around.  More news to come soon.

10.3.07

We would just like to remind everyone that Project Titan™ is being put on hold for a while to work on the Project Titan™ Arcade. We do not have any concept art up for any of the games simply because much of the art has not been finalized yet, and because we do not wish to release some of the sketches yet. A meeting is set to take place on Friday, October 12. During the meeting, we will work on the Project Titan™ Arcade. We will bring you updates from that meeting via an audio update. LPS has many plans to improve the website and forum; these updates are set to take place later this year.

The studio had an outstanding meeting this weekend and I can honestly say that much work was done. We have two new additions to the LPS team so check out the "about us" page for more details. We were unable to retrieve the episode of LPS talk that was recorded last weekend, however, a new episode of LPS Talk was completed  so make sure you watch that. The episode contains information about our work on  "PT Arcade". The basic idea for our the arcade game was set and work as well as guidelines have been assigned to our members. LPS is determined and working hard to bring "PT Arcade" to the public as soon as possible.

We currently are having trouble getting our most recent LPS talk episode downloaded, so it may take some time before we put the episode up. We may just remake the episode as well if we are unable to download this one. I would also like to announce that LPS is having a large meeting this weekend and we plan on getting much done. We will not be able to meet up for a while and this will be the last meeting for atleast two or more months. Its sad to say it, but this is the best we can do for now and I will update the site on what we have gotten done.

Yesterday, we completed an episode of LPS talk and it will be added to the list within the week. The current projects page was updated with a new project so feel free to have a look. Also soon a new page will be added to the site, an LPS Review page, which will include video and written reviews of new games and some old games we recommend to play. I may be able to include some concept art soon since the addition of a graphics tablet to the LPS team. I will be able to easily make some concepts for "Project Titan" for everyone to see. This year looks like a very promising year for the studio and we definitely hope to get some major amounts of work done. We should be able to have another meeting the 3rd weekend of the month, but it is to early to say.

8.21.07

We have another audio update for everyone to hear. Again, you'll be prompted to wait a minute for the load to prepare, then the loading will begin. Also, it is a lengthy update, yet informative, but it will take a while to open because of it's length. We hope you enjoy it!

Recently I have completed the primary sketches of Declaro, the main character of "Project Titan". The pictures have been sent to Flippy who will turn them into 3-D. I will put them up on the website, However I plan on redrawing them with more detail before I put them on the site. I will put up some other pictures as well, this will take place in about 2 weeks or so. I will start work on adding primary details in the "Project Titan" levels this week as well. Once everyone returns from vacation, the weekly assignment will be re-issued for the LPS Team. Currently Sanctuary hasn't had to many updates in the storyline, but we plan on getting some more done with it as the summer comes to a close and the sound of lockers closing in the hallway become more clear. Until next update, have an awsome summer.

This update is an audio update! You will be prompted to type in a 3 letter/number code that is shown and wait a few moments, then you can download the file. We hope you enjoy it! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NSMU20LE

School has let out for the crew which means one thing, we will be hitting our games hard. A message from myself, I am going to try re-doing some of the songs for Project Titan due to me not being satisfied with some. I plan on going back and re-composing a few of them. But currently I am very hard at work on songs for our horror game, Sanctuary. I try to work on a song for both games at least once a day and I'll be working again right after I type this update. Also, getting an account at a website for song uploading is still on my to-do list, I know I've said I'll put songs up somewhere for you all to hear, but I haven't forgotten. ;) Again, school is finally out and it's time for us to kick into "maximum overdrive" with our games, so expect more news to come!

We finally have a new episode of LPS talk up, but "Something's wrong with the G-diffuser!" Nah, not that, some of you might've got that Star Fox 64 reference though  There was actually something wrong with embedding on freewebs, so the episodes are just linked under the LPS Talk page.

Due to last minute changes in plans, we had to postpone getting the domain.  However, the description for Project Titan^TM has been posted on the Current Projects page.  Head over there and check it out.  The team is trying hard to get another episode of Talk on You Tube, but some of us are really busy, so I won't promise anything.
