I feel like we are getting a lot done and moving forward.

The initial editing and writing of Robotech® New Generation™ is done. It is an excellent book. Now, I’m waiting on editing by Wayne for the last half of the book and final approval from Harmony Gold. I’ve started to assign out artwork, and an October release is looking good.

Apollo Okamura is putting the finishing touches on the Robotech® New Generation cover.

Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Sept. 15, 2011

By Kevin Siembieda

New releases in the pipeline

I feel like we are getting a lot done and moving quickly toward some big releases. There is excitement in the air and the products you’ve been anticipating are rushing toward release.

UPDATE: Robotech® New Generation Sourcebook. My editing and writing for Robotech® New Generation™ is done. Wayne is doing his edit of the final quarter of the book. The rest has been submitted to Harmony Gold for review and approval. I have assigned some of the artwork and will be assigning more. I love this book and hope final approval from Harmony Gold is quick and easy. An October release is looking solid.

We received the finished cover art from Apollo Okamura this afternoon. It looks pretty sweet. This book is coming together nicely.

UPDATE: Robotech® Genesis Pits Sourcebook. I’m really shooting for a December, 2011 release with the Genesis Pits sourcebook. Irvin has been working on it for a while now and it is coming along nicely.

UPDATE: Robotech® Marines Sourcebook. I want to see this book out early in 2012.

UPDATE: Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook is in final production. I assigned the artwork last weekend and sent the rest of the text in for Harmony Gold’s final approval. Apollo Okamura has finished the cover and it too has been submitted for approval. Apollo is also illustrating the characters from the television series. Allen and Brian Manning are busy illustrating the mecha, vehicles and other parts of the book. Pending approval from Harmony Gold, this book is on track for an October release.

UPDATE: Robotech® Genesis Pits™ Sourcebook. I think we have an excellent shot at seeing this book released in December, 2011. Irvin has been working on it for a while now and it is coming along nicely. Apollo doesn’t have time to do the cover for this one, so I’m thinking about which artist I should approach to do it.

I’m frustrated because I knew I could get one book finished for absolute certain for an October release (maybe two). The question was, which one, Robotech® or Rifts® Lemuria? I picked Robotech® New Generation™ because the folks at Harmony Gold were hot on seeing it released. Turns out to be a bad choice as the book has been done for weeks, but hung up in the approval stage. There aren’t any problems I’m aware of, it’s a matter of the gang at Harmony Gold suddenly found themselves buried in a matter with a higher priority, so we wait.

I’m sure they’ll get back to us as fast as they can but . . . Gahhhhhh. Meanwhile, a number of things have stolen my time these past few weeks from giving Rifts® Lemuria the attention it needs to get it finished. I’ve finally cleared a big hunk of my schedule and intend to get Rifts® Lemuria to the printer in the next two weeks!

UPDATE: Robotech® New Generation™ Sourcebook is pretty much done. We are waiting to get final approval and changes from Harmony Gold. As soon as we get those two things, we lay the book out and send it to the printer.

UPDATE: Robotech® Genesis Pits™ Sourcebook. See the description elsewhere in this Weekly Update. It is about half written and has been scheduled for a January release (pending approval from the Licensor). It is shaping up to be another epic sourcebook. 8½ x 11 size. 96 pages.

Robotech® New Generation Sourcebook should see final layout and go to the printer by the end of next week or the beginning of the following week. Approvals have been coming in from Harmony Gold all day. We’re not certain if we’ll really see ALL approvals by tonight as promised, but they are coming in at a good clip and we are hopeful.
