Fragile news has been plentiful lately, thanks in part to the update the game’s official website has received. In addition to some new images, info, and a newsletter, the site now has its own blog.

In Japan, the blogs that accompany games are pretty serious. I first noticed this with Success’ Haninwa Seikatsu: Hitsujimura. The game is in the same vein as the Harvest Moon series, so some of the creators actually spent a few days in the forest roughing it to come up with ideas.

Fragile’s blog right now contains some photos of 3 of the actors who will be behind the game’s motion capture. Also, some of the game’s creators took trips to famous places Seto will visit in the wake of the world’s end. Most recently was a journey to Tokyo Tower, where a few members of the game’s team got to walk across the tower’s catwalk. Seto will meet a boy named Kuro wandering the ruins of Tokyo Tower. You can read more about that here. The team also took a trip to Kawaji Dam and some famous shrines around Japan.

I sure wish it was my job to travel Japan and get inspiration for a video game. Well, maybe someday. The game’s blog can be found here if you would like to check it out. We are still waiting for news of Fragile coming to North America, but it probably won’t be until after the game’s release sometime this year.
