<div>'''D.C. Simpson''', full '''Dana Claire Simpson''' (neé '''David Craig Simpson'''), also known as '''Rain Ruin''' (born April 23, 1977 in [[W:Pullman, Washington|Pullman, Washington]], USA), is an [[artist]], [[writer]], and [[musician]] who lives near [[W:Seattle, Washington|Seattle, Washington]].<ref>[http://www.rainedog.com/sample-page/ ''About Dana''] bio information on [http://www.rainedog.com/ Rainedog.com]. Retrieved February 27, 2012.</ref> <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Dana is the writer and artist of the [[comic]]s ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'', ''[[Raine Dog]]'', ''[[W:I Drew This|I Drew This]]'' and ''[[Heavenly Nostrils]]''. Prior to 1998, Simpson created illustrations of characters from ''[[Tails of the City]]''.<br />
<br />
She was a [[guest of honor]] for [[Midwest FurFest 2002]] and [[Morphicon 2008]]. D.C. Simpson has often expressed [[w:Left-wing politics|left-wing political]] views.<br />
<br />
== Webcomics ==<br />
=== ''Ozy and Millie'' ===<br />
<br />
''Ozy and Millie'', Dana Claire's best known [[furry fandom]] [[webcomic]], has been thrice recognized by the [[Ursa Major Awards]]; first in 2002 when the collection ''Ozy and Millie IV: Authentic Banana Dye'' won ''Best Anthropomorphic Other Literary Work'', and again in 2006 and 2007 when the comic won ''Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip'' (after nominations in prior years).<br />
<br />
On April 24, 2008, Dana Claire announced the end of Ozy and Millie, though with suggestions of possible revivals in comic book form, as well as ideas of a more grown up high school version.{{fact}}<br />
<br />
=== ''Raine Dog'' ===<br />
<br />
''Raine Dog'' is a webcomic about '''Raine''', a blue female [[dog]], in a world where pets are fully [[anthropomorphic]] but still subject to the same laws of property as animals in the real world. Dana Claire says the project is heavily influenced by [[Thomas K. Dye]]'s ''[[Newshounds]]''.{{fact}}<br />
<br />
=== ''Girl'' ===<br />
<br />
Simpson's third comic strip, ''Girl'', was the winner of [[W:mazon.com|Amazon.com]]'s '''Comic Strip Superstar''' contest.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/Comic-Strip-Superstar-Books/b?node=2128878011 ''Comic Strip Superstar''] page on [[W:mazon.com|Amazon.com]].

Retrieved December 31, 2013.</ref> but which never came to be. As per Dana Claire, the delay was imposed by the syndicate, [[W:GoComics|GoComics]], due to its reluctance to launch two "[[talking animal]]" [[comic|strips]] at the same time.<ref>[http://girlcomicstrip.typepad.com/girlblog/2010/11/02/index.html ''Status report''] post on [http://girlcomicstrip.typepad.com/girlblog/ ''Girl blog'']. Poste November 2, 2010. Retrieved December 31, 2013.</ref> <br />
<br />
The strip was retooled and renamed '''''Heavenly Nostrils''''' , and debuted on GoComics on April 22, 2012 (one day ahead of the official release data).<ref>[http://inkandwhitespace.com/2012/04/22/in-stealth-we-have-begun/ ''In stealth, we have begun!''] post on [http://inkandwhitespace.com/ ''Ink and White Space'']. Posted April 22, 2012. Retrieved December 31, 2013.</ref><br />
<br />
=== ''Heavenly Nostrils'' ===<br />
<br />
''Heavenly Nostrils'' is a webcomic about '''Phoebe''', a [[human]] girl who skipped a rock across a pond, and accidentally hitting a [[Talking animal|sentient]] [[unicorn]] in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, using it to make the unicorn, '''Marigold Heavenly Nostrils''', her obligational best friend<br />

'''Antilia''' is the leading product of '''Right Brain Games''', and has been under development since 2002<ref name="history">[http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:2 Antilia - A Brief History]</ref>. It is a [[fantasy]] [[Wikipedia:MMORPG|MMORPG]] set in the world of ''Forra'' and ''Alenfay'', which is inhabited by a species called ''Taipii'' (that can be divided into five different breeds of [[anthropomorphic]] animals).<br />
<br />
==Development status==<br />
[[File:Koro.jpg|right|thumb|A Koro, the [[deer]]-like breed of Taipii.]]<br />
In September 2007, Right Brain Games built a new website for Antilia, which includes a blog providing status information and development screen captures. The game has been open to periodic alpha testing since November 30, 2011<ref>[http://antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:50 Antilia - Alpha Testing Begins]</ref>.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The project was started between 1998 and 2002 by an inexperienced team of developers. Since then the team had struggled to develop their own graphic engines and various technology for the game. They produced two previous versions of the game, one of which was made available for public testing. In 2006 the Antilia-Game website was replaced with a "Coming Soon" message, and little information regarding Antilia was released until the website returned in September, 2007<ref name="history" />.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, March 25, 2008, Jeff Leigh (the head of the project and, at the time, the only man on it) had replaced the new site with a message stating that Antilia will be delayed for an extended period of time, and what remains of the site (the message) will, itself, be taken down on April 4, 2008{{fact}}.<br />
<br />
Antilia was brought back on October 30, 2009<ref>http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:18</ref>, and Jeff Leigh began providing informational blog posts around once a month, with occasional development screenshots and examples of progress<ref>http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php</ref>.<br />
<br />
Antilia went through a period of intense development during 2011-2012. Much of 2013 was spent preparing for the Kickstarter scheduled to run from December 17 through late January of 2014<ref>http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:77</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
While the Antilia website has returned, it does not, as of February 2012, provide any current information on the game's plot.<br />
However, the setting of the alpha tests is known to be the island of Kasau and the world of the game is known as Forra.<ref>[http://antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:46 Antilia - A New Approach in August, A New World in September]</ref><br />
Also, the wiki lists much of the game's lore.<br />
<br />
==Player Species==<br />
According to the Antilia website, the following species are currently implemented fully<ref>[http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php?page=FAQ Antilia FAQ]</ref>:<br />
* [[Cat]] (Felo)<br />
* [[Deer]] (Koro)<br />
* [[Fox]] (Vulan)<br />
* [[Kangaroo]] (Kisan)<br />
* [[Wolf (species)|Wolf]] (Lupan)<br />
<br />
Players can also mix traits of two of these five archetypes together to create unusual hybrids.<br />
<br />
There are two race-sets to be implemented in future expansions:<br />
<br />
* [[Dragon]] (Sakii)<br />
* [[Rodent]] (Reisuii)<br />
<br />
These races will involve fairly radical game-play differences, as the Sakii and Resuii are different in size and technology than the Taipii.<br />
<br />
==Wiki==<br />
On Saturday, May 28, 2011, Antilia got a wiki.<ref> [http://antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Forums.Topic:351&offset=0#post_45405 Antilia Wiki Announcement Post]</ref> Users can ask questions about the lore and society of the Taipii as well as edit pages they have knowledge on.<br />
<br />
Currently, the WIKI pages are private for revisions and organizations around the lore.<br />
<br />
==Right Brain Games==<br />
'''Right Brain Games''' (previously known as '''Enygma Arts''') is an independent computer game company currently consisting of two game developers, who are also the working artists of the team.<br />
<br />
Their main philosophy is namely that the games they produce must first and foremost be visually appealing, and as such they require all their (current and future) developers to be artists above anything else. ''Antilia'' is being created using the company's own game engine, previously ''Saffron,'' now known as ''Toi''.<br />

On Tuesday, March 25, 2008, Jeff Leigh (the head of the project and, at the time, the only man on it) had replaced the new site with a message stating that Antilia will be delayed for an extended period of time, and what remains of the site (the message) will, itself, be taken down on April 4, 2008{{fact}}.<br />
<br />
Antilia was brought back on October 30, 2009<ref>http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:18</ref>, and Jeff Leigh began providing informational blog posts around once a month, with occasional development screenshots and examples of progress<ref>http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php</ref>.<br />
<br />
Antilia went through a period of intense development during 2011-2012. Much of 2013 was spent preparing for the Kickstarter scheduled to run from December 17 through late January of 2014.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
While the Antilia website has returned, it does not, as of February 2012, provide any current information on the game's plot.<br />
However, the setting of the alpha tests is known to be the island of Kasau and the world of the game is known as Forra.<ref>[http://antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:46 Antilia - A New Approach in August, A New World in September]</ref><br />
Also, the wiki lists much of the game's lore.<br />
<br />
==Player Species==<br />
According to the Antilia website, the following species will be included in the first public release<ref>[http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php?page=FAQ Antilia FAQ]</ref>:<br />
* [[Cat]] (Felo)<br />
* [[Deer]] (Koro)<br />

'''Right Brain Games''' (previously known as '''Enygma Arts''') is an independent computer game company currently consisting of two game developers, who are also the working artists of the team.<br />

Their main philosophy is namely that the games they produce must first and foremost be visually appealing, and as such they require all their (current and future) developers to be artists above anything else. ''Antilia'' is being created using the company's own game engine, previously ''Saffron,'' now known as ''Toi''.<br />

'''Antilia''' is the leading product of '''Right Brain Games''', and has been under development since 2002<ref name="history">[http://www.antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:2 Antilia - A Brief History]</ref>. It is a [[fantasy]] [[Wikipedia:MMORPG|MMORPG]] set in the world of ''Forra'' and ''Alenfay'', which is inhabited by a species called ''Taipii'' (that can be divided into five different breeds of [[anthropomorphic]] animals).<br />
<br />
==Development status==<br />
[[File:Koro.jpg|right|thumb|A Koro, the [[deer]]-like breed of Taipii.]]<br />
In September 2007, Right Brain Games built a new website for Antilia, which includes a blog providing status information and development screen captures. The game has been open to periodic alpha testing since November 30, 2011<ref>[http://antilia-game.com/index.php?page=Blog:50 Antilia - Alpha Testing Begins]</ref>.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The project was started between 1998 and 2002 by an inexperienced team of developers. Since then the team had struggled to develop their own graphic engines and various technology for the game. They produced two previous versions of the game, one of which was made available for public testing. In 2006 the Antilia-Game website was replaced with a "Coming Soon" message, and little information regarding Antilia was released until the website returned in September, 2007<ref name="history" />.<br />
