Both Dodrill and his wife, [[Elizabeth Dodrill|Elizabeth]], are the primary participants and funders in the animating, producing, directing and voice casting of both works.

While the film, which began production in or after 2000, is far from complete due to budget and time constraints, the video game has gradually inched closer to completion (despite Dodrill having only learned object-oriented programming in early 2009), with a teaser of the pre-alpha build being released on YouTube in May 2009. Furthermore, a more advanced build of the game won a $40,000 grand prize at the September 2009 Microsoft XNA Dream-Build-Play competition, with a planned release on [[wikipedia:Xbox Live Arcade|Xbox Live Arcade]] in August, 2012. The game makes an appearance at PAX East expo in Boston.
