Slashing Dragon has published an update on his progress on Ananias, showing off the “fratermonsters” (companion creatures, basically) in the game, which are illustrated in the screenshot above:

Hard work continues in the fratermonsters, you can now select your starting companion and make him evolve using magic artifacts; this includes special skills for each evolution.

He also gives a breakdown of the funding he received from Ananias’ Indiegogo campaign, and what costs he has incurred thus far in further developing the game:

• Campaign total: 737 USD
• Indiegogo, paypal, bank and other fees: -135.24 USD
• Contribution for the pixel artist: -201 USD
• Payment for the first two tracks: -120 USD
• iOS developer program provision: -100 USD
• Payment for the game illustration: -50 USD

What’s interesting here, to me, is the mention of an iOS Developer Program registration, which does indeed cost about $100 USD. Rest assured that Ananias will earn a permanent spot on my iPhone should it be released on the App Store!
