I decided to add reviews to our site. My personal, short reviews that will help you pick up the game you need - be it a game for you or your kid. I’ll start with reviews of kid games. Kubi, Prof. Fizzwizzle and Maggie the Gardener is a good begining. First review coming this week.
Recently I created a thread on a game developers forum. I wanted to hear opinions about our new game possible titles. Unfortunately discusion have not solved the naming problem. I was more confused than before creating the thread. Until my friends from www.codeminion.com gave me a call. I guess you need to be gifted to create a good name and they probably are. They proposed the following names:
Thanks Konrad & Maciej. I like Runica the most. Short, one word name, has runes in it. Symbols is nice name too - but I think it is too far away from mystic theme of the game.
PS. Checkout Magic Match - latest puzzle game from Konrad and Maciej.
Creating great graphics for our game is one of our main goals. At the moment I am stuck with one of the waypoints in Runique game - the Dragons’ Home. I have the picture that player will reveal during play, but I can’t find good picture for background. I created little snap for you - it’s a fragment of the image you reveal during game.
PS. It’s the hottest summer in Poland since 227 years and it will be that hot until August 15th.
It’s been a while since my last post. The heat is killing me slowly. I can’t think. My head hurts. It’s over 30 ceclius degrees (around 90 farenheit) for about a week now. I’ll definately buy good A-C next year.
In the begining of July we’ve started work on a game called The Ponys. It’s still just a codename, but may end up as a final title. The game is going to be about ponys - imagine The Sims, but put ponys instead of people. Yes, the game is targeted at younger audience (girls 7-12) but I’m sure it will appeal to adults as well. Here’s a screenie:
That one is still work in progress, so expect little improvements.
As usual, check out our blog to find out more about The Ponys and our other games in development.
I am very happy to announce that today we launched online gardens gallery for Maggie the Gardener. Now not only you can browse online gardens gallery within a game, but also on our site. This way you have the ability to show your best designs to anyone who has internet connection without the need to install the game. Ain’t that great?
There are only 2 limitations for web version of gallery:
Have a happy garden survey!
We’re having debate about the name for our newest game. Giving a name to a game is like giving a name to a child. There are few propositions, one of them you can see on the game annoucement page. Here are all of them:
My favourite at the moment is LOTR. It puts the game instantly in the right direction - a player expects that it’s going to be a game with fantasy theme. But them, I’m affraid that we are asking for troubles giving our game such a similar title to The Lord of the Rings (should I write here that ™ belongs to their owners?).
This is really sweet and looks so cool. Little Tom from Tom’s Hen House has his fan art. I just received this picture from Kittanate. I can’t wait to see his new game.
Although it may look like a great fun. Very often it is. But for most of the time it’s really hard work. I’m glad that I enjoy that work and I am glad I am good at it. Now when I look at the time passed I cannot imagine myself doing something else. Do you know what’s the hardest part of making games? Finishing it (but I’m sure it aplyes not only to games). There’s a joke in developers community: a game is 80% ready for 80% of development time 
So World Cup Finalist are known. Who’s going to win this year? My bet is on Italy, either my favourite teams already gone home.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
