"She Lives for Adventure.
She Fights to Save Her Kingdom
             ... She Needs You to Watch Her Back"

Lady Sia is on her way to a GBA screen near you - and she's no damsel in distress. When the cruel and merciless T'soas imprison Lady Sia's people, she takes it upon herself to escape from her jail cell and go on a journey to save her lands. Along the way she will collect different spells and weapons, search for secret areas and bonuses, traverse four lands (each with 5 levels), solve mystifying puzzles, and ultimately defeat the nefarious Onimen (your archenemy) and his minions (all 21 different kinds of them!).

Set to take advantage of the 32 bit GBA system with great graphics, larger than life monsters, and full screen magical effects, Lady Sia is calling for heroes.... Will you answer? 

We had a chance to ask the development team a few questions about the warrior princess and her GBA adventures - so get your battle cry ready and prepare for Lady Sia's journey....

-------------------------------------

1. Who is your target audience for your upcoming GBA title, Lady Sia?
Boys and girls, ages 8 and up

2. How will the magic-casting system work in Lady Sia? Will spells abilities be permanently acquired as you progress through the game, or will it be a 1 item = 1 spell system?
Magic is permanently acquired, but it will require skill to manage your magic energy so as to be ready with a spell when you need it most.

3. How will the save system work in the game? Will you be able to save at set points or at the end of each level?
It is automatic. All you have to do is pick a save game slot at the start and you’re all set to go.

4. What will be the pros and cons of Sia's transformation into a Sasquatch?
Transforming in to a Sasquatch is automatic and gives Lady Sia just what she needs to fight the most fierce foes.

5. Will there be any full aerial combat fields when Sia reaches her friend, griffin?
No, there is no full aerial combat per say, but there is special game play when Sia is flying on the griffin.

6. Are each of the 4 worlds unique with their own individual pros, cons, and monsters?
Actually, each level is very unique with it’s own look and feel. The challenges vary as well from all out fighting to puzzle based game play.

7. Will Lady Sia meet many friends and allies along the way in the quest to help tell the story of her quest to free her friends?
It is a harsh world, but Lady Sia will win friends to her cause.

8. How fun/challenging it is to work on a brand new system? What kinds of things are you excited about doing with the GBA that you have not been able to do previously?
The GBA gives you a lot of great art abilities from rotating sprites to transparencies.

9. Lady Sia seems like a great "girl-power" game - was this a thought you went into the creation of the game with?
Game are a reflection of where we are all at in society and girl-power certainly is here to stay.
