Rey Jimenez, producer of SF HD Remix, is currently hard at work trying to keep development on track. I just chatted with him, and we have decided to hold off on the art updates until we have something more substantial (i.e., screenshots) to show you guys. We know expectations are high, and he’s working hard to make sure the game meets those expectations.

I have another set of desktop wallpapers for you again, this time featuring Chun-Li and Sakura in front of Ken’s new background from Puzzle Fighter. Like last time, I did a 16:10 hi-res version at 1920×1200, and a squarer version at 1280×1024. Let me know what you think.

Long time, no see. I know it’s been a while since my last blog update. I took the week of the 4th of July off for vacation, and all last week I was in Santa Monica for E3. Well, I’m back now, and I have something very special to share with you.

How’s it going? I know, it feels like it’s been forever since the last update. I’ve been working on wrapping up my own pet project, namely 3 Themes and a gamer pic pack for Xbox Live featuring all the characters of Puzzle Fighter (basically Street Fighter and Darkstalkers). I just sent those off to someone else to handle the submission to MS. They should be available later this month. I’ll post a little preview of what they’ll look like pretty soon, but I think you’ll be very pleased with how they turned out. I know I am. I don’t want to spoil it, but let’s just say that everybody who voted for their favorite characters to appear in the gamer pic pack will get what they want…

Well, Rey, the producer on Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, was able to get me another update this afternoon. I’m just now getting around to posting it because I’ve been working on everything above plus a whole lot more today. So, let’s get right to it.

I have lots of feedback from Rey, plus some brand new Street Fighter art for you to drool over.

A lot of you have been asking for some new Chun Li stuff. While I don’t have color animation frames from the actual gameplay for you, I do have something almost as cool. And for your reading pleasure, SF HD Remix producer Rey Jimenez has given me yet another message to share with you, where he talks about how the game is coming along, and addresses feedback about Guile’s new look and other questions and comments that have come up in the comments here on the Digital blog and on some of the various forums. If you haven’t read his other posts, hit “Digital” at the top of the page and see what other stuff I have been posting for SF and the other download titles.

Here’s the deal. I’m working on putting together some Dashboard themes and a gamer picture pack for the Xbox 360 to go along with the launch of Puzzle Fighter (which is coming very soon). I have one theme complete and I’m working on the other.

But for the gamer pic pack, I’m not sure who to include. The themes are like wallpapers, but when you use a gamer pic in your profile, it actually represent you. It says something about you, or shows what games you like. Everyone would probably like Ken or Ryu, but there’s room for more and I want to leave it up to you who makes the cut.

There are basically 11 characters in the game, and I can put up to 5 images in a single pack. But I thought, why not ask you guys what I should do? You tell me which characters you want in the pack, and I’ll include them.

Here are the characters:
Akuma
Chun Li
Dan
Devilot
Donovan
Felicia
HsienKo
Ken
Morrigan
Ryu
Sakura

BTW, if you don’t know what gamer pics are, they are the icon that goes in your gamercard, your profile. Here’s my gamercard. As you can see, I’m sporting the guy from Mass Effect as my icon right now:

So, who are your favorite Puzzle Fighter characters from that list? Who do you want to put in your gamer profile to represent you?

Just vote in the comments below. I’ll be monitoring the comments, and Friday afternoon (6/22) I’ll tally it up.

EDIT:
I’ve looked at the votes, and I know what I want to do with the gamer pics, so now it’s a matter of clearing it with a few departments internally. Once I get a firm answer, I’ll announce what I’m doing with the gamer pics. I also have 2 Dashboard themes done and I’m working on a third. They’re pretty sweet, and I’ll give a preview of them here on the blog before they hit Marketplace.

I got some new art from Rey that just came in, along with a note to post:

Just a quick peek at Guile today. I noticed a lot of questions on the Capcom BBS and Digital Blogs from my last post. I will try to address some of them next week. Today is a pretty important milestone day for Super Street Fighter II Turbo and I will be working on it all day. So be sure to check the blog next week for the next update.

—Rey

I’ve got a triple-punch of goodies for you SF fans today. First, new artwork to feast your eyes on. Second, producer Rey Jimenez walks us through how Udon Comics are going about updating the character artwork for the game. And third, Rey responds to some of the questions, requests, and speculations that have been made about the game both in the comments here on the blog and on the message boards.

Here’s a quick and dirty peek into how the fantastic artists from Udon are creating the frames of animation. For some of you artist and graphics peeps, this will be old news to you. But for a lot of you, this should give you some cool insight into the process that you may not have known about.

Wow, I guess you guys really like the new Street Fighter!!! The producer, Rey Jimenez, wanted to respond to some of your comments and share a bit more about the game, and thank you for the overwhelming response himself.

I just have a quick update today. The next sneak peak I have is of everyone’s favorite Russian bear wrestler, yes the Red Cyclone himself, Zangief. What we have here is a work in progress, that’s why it’s not colored in yet and there might be a few minor changes that will go into it.
