Well, we’re still quite busy these days deciding on other features to add on to the Aircraft….not to mention LOTS of tweaking but doing it in 3D Studio Max is much easier.
Higa-san has developed the world maps of this PM Universe so feel free to check them out below…I’ll have addition PM news as well…
World Maps of the Projekt MUSE Universe
Europa
North America
East Asia
————————————-
For newcomers to my blog site, you may be totally confused so I suggest viewing info a few posts before this to get a general idea of this Alternate Universe setting.
We’re hoping to debut the aircraft (MUSE Luftritter) soon as I’m still tweaking the air intake sections. Expect that sometime hopefully before the end of the week or after Comic Con.
Other related news:
- Should have the concepts for the 4 remaining characters…so expect a design for a character from other ethnic backgrounds like France, Italy, China and Finland but use the maps above for the names of their citizenship.
- The Official Website is almost ready to view. I just need to finish up the Splash image for the site.

Irrelevant news:
Interesting enough, and in a span of a week I received 3 messages regarding any future updates of OSOM. No I haven’t forgotten about that but here’s my official message to all regarding any NatsuShizu updates:
“Thank you for your continued interests in my doujinshi however all types of fanart are low priority right now as I’m busy with “real” work. As you may have noticed, I’ve been plugging work’s latest project while at the same time trying to finish up designs for an upcoming Console/PC game so unfortunately putting food on my plate as well as keeping up with the mortgage payments will always come first before anything else.
My sincerest apologies and I hope you find an interest in supporting our latest project, Projekt MUSE.”
Well that’s about it on today’s news front. If I encounter any further developments today, I’ll just edit this post.
Once again, thank you for your continued support!

Now I’m really wondering what happened with Spain… :O Some other interesting changes on the maps there… curious as to the backstory for some of that.
One gripe though, why isn’t SD free!
I’d be whistlin’ dixie down here. A’int that a darn tootin shame. Guess I’ll just simmer down and head over yonder to see if my last minute plan to actually get a Comic Con ticket worked out… :E
Sorry, the CSA really really needs a Pacific ocean deep water harbor for the Confederate Pacific Fleet, so while either Los Angeles/Long Beach or San Diego leaving the CSA is bad…both is unacceptable.
Sounds like the makings of a side story, however…I’ll think about it… =)
Oops, Spain…I just extrapolated from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Since German Union and The Union of People’s Soviets didn’t get involved in the Spanish Civil War like the real Germany and Soviet Union, I figure the outcome would be slightly different with both sides. There is just too much stuff to write up. I’m sure the Basques have split off in the Projekt MUSE universe as well, but that is too hard to put on the map (like poor Luxembourg and Lichtenstein).

Well, Higa-san is well versed in the backstory of this project since he’s the mastermind behind it all so this info is new for me as well. Thanks for sharing, Higa-san!
Oh and did you manage to get lucky with a ticket to ComicCon? I heard it’s a madhouse…then again, I’m not surprised. It seems to get increasingly worse each year. The additional square feet that they used to build the extension doesn’t feel like it exists anymore LOL!

Ah makes sense… looks like France suffered a similar fate. I’d ask about the Ottoman Empire but that somehow has major plot point written all over it.
Wolfie – yes… but no. I borrowed a pass for Friday
from a friend who can’t go because of work. But if Sat or Sun doesn’t work out it’s whatever. This is actually my first time going… since I moved to socal I always meant to go but never made it.
I’ve been a bit busy to comment you much lately but from what I’ve seen I really like the project so far… gl with it, to both of you.
Oh, as an aside, I might need to hit you up for LA show suggestions in a couple weeks… if you’re still doing the circuit, anyway.
Why is France always split in half ^^ And Yeah for a french character. Gotta support character from my place ^^ I follow your work since your first Shiznat art and I wanted to say i’m a fan ^^
About your Projekt Muse at first I though i would be an anime but i seem to have misunderstood. You pitch the project in some magazine, then if it work maybe adapt in anime ? or Game ? Anyway I already took a liking to Adalwolfa ^^ and I wish you good luck for the project.

Actually it’s going to be a manga or rather a web manga. It could eventually become an anime depending on the reception that the manga gets. But yeah…for now it’s just a manga and we’ll be plugging various merchandise for this Universe.
As for France being split in half, Higa-san, the creator of the series can provide you with a better explanation that I can. I’m sure he’ll be responding to your question soon.
Thank you for your support!

In the same way that the Spanish Civil War ended with Spain keeping a National and Republican part (due to lack of intervention in the Spanish Civil War from the German Union and the League preventing Union of People’s Soviets intervention), France is divided by the 1934 crisis. The Popular Front, afraid of a Facist coup, preemptively seize power and declare the end of the Third Republic and establish France as a Socialist/Communist country. The conservatives rally, but only manage to hold the south. The South, in response lays claim to the French Colonies and reinstates the French Empire (in name) to attempt to garner support from conservative voters. The League of Nations intervenes, and prevents either side from receiving aid (either from the Union of People’s Soviets, or from National Spain).
Our French character is actually going to come from Freeport Marseilles who doesn’t want to go along with the new French Empire and becomes a neutral city. I haven’t worked out the details, but Marseilles ends up having a lot of support from the People’s French Republic and the Union of People’s Soviets.
Woot! I’m excited to see all the activities on the Projekt MUSE. Nice to know things are progressing well.
*quickly save all the nice promo images into her PC*
Oooo… Chinese character… I wonder what instrument will you be giving her… yangqin maybe?
Looking forward to the new characters.
Your Europa is very interesting because German Union is a big country and I don’t see Austria T.T
Fantastic name is ‘League of the rising sun’.
Has any country a royal house?
Well the maps are very interesting. I wonder what Andrea will say about a French character….
The only thing I remember about France from WWII is that they got pwned by Germany. I think. I took AHAP (American History ‘advanced placement’ pfft) my junior year of high school so I’m kind of fuzzy ^^’
Free city of Hollywood looks like the most interesting to me XD the diva character is from there right? Haha, fitting. I’m moving there it must be awesome.
Did the Civil war in USA not end the same way it did in real life? Confederate States of America…interesting. I don’t see why the USA hasn’t taken over Canada yet. Such a waste of space!
haha I’m kidding….Canadians please don’t kill me….?
@ ShayP: well EXCUSE ME..okay Canada is sort of lame we never win at anything but we’re still cool. We’re uh..multicultural! yeah. Maybe i should stop reading and reviewing your fic since you said that. haha jk not that minus one reader makes a difference but i’ll still keep reading because it’s too damn good =P.
Anyways, interesting map. Each post gets me more and more excited for this project. I’m glad to see things progress so quickly =) I also can’t wait to see the other characters especially the one from China. I wonder what instrument you’ll give that character.
The name League of the Rising Sun for Japan is a fantastic name too. I’ve also heard people refer to Japan as ‘land of the rising sun’ so it fits really well.
I’m looking forward for more
LOL @ Rwar. No hard feelings….EH??
har har okay not that funny >.>
The German Union is a confederation of a number of semi-independent territories, formed in 1871. The major powers are Prussia, Bavaria and Austria but there are a number of other territories as well. As of 1936, the different defence ministries of the member German Union states began integration of their militaries into the German Union Wermacht and German Union Defence Procurement Agency.
For the launch of the project, we are only going to focus on the nations that the first Sky Knight (Luftritter) and Armor Knight (Panzerritter) Tuners come from.
The first three characters are all women from the German Union, but as the war continues, the other characters will show up.

I can email you some suggestions. Hang on for bit. I should get a decent list of things from my bro tonight and then I’ll send it your way.
