11.01.2011 THANK YOU FOR VISITING THE BOOTH AT COMIC CON!

Thanks to everyone for stopping by our booth at NY Comic Con 2011, we had a great time there! It was great meeting all the people and discussing the multimedia assault of Kodoja. Did you pick up your Comic Con exclusives - the limited edition Kodoja prints and the exclusive CD for NYCC2011, Project Kyojo? If not, there are a few extras we got our hands on - we'll have details soon on how to get them.

10.19.2011 THE MUSIC BEHIND PROJECT KYOJO

Project Kyojo's music (written and performed by Big Pimp Jones) fuses elements of 70s funk, classical, chiptune and 80s soul, spread on a thick layer of hard drum breaks (these breaks are original drum tracks recorded in a renovated warehouse in Philadelphia). The record was designed initially to besolely a 'break' record, with nothing but beats and other instruments ripe for the sampling. When the band started working on the music, breakbeats turned into songs, then into a full-length record. Still, the record is full of breaks and the breaks themselves are highlighted on Simluations 1-9. More music and media are on the way, after all this is just the beginning of the Kodoja story.

10.13.2011 PROJECT:KYOJO COVER ART

FIFTY YEARS AGO: PROJECT KYOJO

With the task of creating 'the most powerful weapon the world will ever see', Special Weapons Division is formed. Using designs perfected in 1957, the building of a 15-story high robot begins. Weapons systems identified for the program include heat rays to be shot from the eyes and a hull with nuclear weapons capability, able to deploy a warhead with the correct launch codes. The fists can fire from the body and retract back using a strong cabling system for the retraction. But the piece de resistance of Project Kyojo is a computer capable of not only processing tasks and actions but also thinking, reacting and learning from situations. Over time it can use experience from battle simulations and choose on its own the best action to take.

Unfortunately something goes wrong in late-stage tests - suspicion surrounds the origin of the metal used to build the robot (the best metal for the purpose was part of a scrap recovery at Saipan Island in the pacific) and the robot begins learning quickly. On November 10, 1961 the project is shut down after the final battle simulation (driven by a highly advanced robot outmanuvers all fighters and tanks then deploys a nuclear wahead to the testing station) results in four casualties and the complete destruction of the simulation battlefields, facilities and their weapons system.

Gone unnoticed at the time is a major seismic event that takes place November 8, 1961 in the pacific. Tremors are felt as far as 4,000 miles away though due to its remote, non-civilian location minimal casualties and damage occur. Naval researchers show bizarre reading of oceanic creature movements, away from the epicenter.
