It has been a while since the last update on the matter of the status of Zero Break Games following the collapse of Advent Heroes. During that time, several matters have occurred which have impacted the state of operations and development in relation to the continued viability of proceeding with maintenance of the Zero Break Games label. In relation to that, I am updating to state that the plans to fulfill publishing agreements for The Story of Two will no longer be the sole extent of the duration of Zero Break Games as an ongoing concern.

This decision was made in relation to my intention to begin work on a replacement project that will pick up from where work on Advent Heroes left off, with the intention of utilizing many of the same ideas and characters that were intended for the original development plan. This will result in the use of these characters in differing contexts which are currently being finalized, with prototyping scheduled to begin within the next month.

Additionally, despite the fact that some unexpected family considerations have impacted my plans to utilize PAX West as a springboard for either the sharing of ideas that I intend to carry over from Advent Heroes or the investigation of additional projects to consider for distribution under the Zero Break Games label (if not both), it has also not been completely ruled out due to the fact that personal considerations which would separate the family portion from the outreach portion are now in progress, with a final determination of the feasibility thereof to be determined by the first week of August. On the chance that PAX West does not stay on the schedule in relation to this matter, I intend to defer to PAX East 2025 as the feasibility will have its final determination by that time at the latest.

Finally, in relation to the state of matters regarding the use of character voiceover in Zero Break Games projects, I would like to reassure that there is absolutely no impact to these matters in relation to the ongoing negotiations between game development companies and SAG-AFTRA as no voice talent is expected to be used which would be affected by any decision by SAG-AFTRA to initiate strike protocol. Furthermore, there are no plans to suspend work on Zero Break Games projects in connection with any decision by SAG-AFTRA on such initiation of protocol.

More information will be shared on this and other matters as it becomes available.
