This is our second trailer. One for Runes of Avalon was a very positive experience and I hope that this one will do the same 
Lately I was looking for games similar in theme to Runes of Avalon. I was surprised that there are only few. Luckily they are all great. If you want to play a great game similar to Runes of Avalon before our games will be launched, here’s my list (direct download links for PC versions):
If you know about a great game (fantasy theme) that I don’t have on my list make sure to let me know about it.
Have you ever heard of Merlin or King Arthur? I’m sure you have. I doubt you’ve heard about Morgan Le Fay. And definitely you haven’t heard about Merlin’s Apprentice. So here is short who’s who in Arthurian legends and Runes of Avalon.
Merlin is best known as the mighty wizard featured in Arthurian legend. His traditional biography has him born the son of an incubus and a mortal woman who inherits his powers from his strange birth. He grows up to be a sage and engineers the birth of Arthur through magic. Later Merlin serves as the king’s advisor until he is bewitched and imprisoned by the Lady of the Lake.
In Arthurian legend, Morgan le Fay, alternatively known as Morgaine, Morgain, Morgana and a slew of related name variants, is a powerful sorceress and sometime antagonist of King Arthur and Guinevere. King Arthur is her half brother by Igraine and Uther Pendragon. Morgan has at least two older sisters, Elaine and Morgause, the latter of which is the mother of Gawain and the traitor Mordred. In Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur and elsewhere, she is married, unhappily, to King Urien of Gore and Ywain is her son. Though she becomes an adversary of the Round Table when Guinevere discovers her adultery with one of her husband’s knights, she eventually reconciles with her brother, and even serves as one of the four enchantresses who carry the king to Avalon after his final battle at Camlann.
All that is what you can read on the internet. But is it the whole story? Is it true story?
It’s not…! I haven’t written a word about Merlin’s Apprentice, but I will, hold on. Story will be continued. In the meantime don’t forget to check out Runes of Avalon game trailer.
Does game need a story? Can story be a game? Well, not every game and not every story.
Actually, I know only one story that can be played? What’s that? This is one of the best games I ever played, called Another World. It is a game, but has such a deep storyline, that should be considered a story that can be played. Another World is 15 years old but there are thousands of players that still remember that title. Haven’t played it? You must give it a try. Game was recently re-released with improved graphics.
Storyline very often enhances a game, makes it deeper, makes you wanna play longer. We’ve been working on storyline for Runes of Avalon for couples of weeks - well, actually professional writer was writing it. And you know what? We ended up with 23 pages of text. That’s huge, but also very interesting. Implementing it well into the game will be another piece of art.
New Year has come and I was thinking about what I would like to achieve in 2007. I was really surprised how clear my goals are. So here is my list:
It looks like a lot of work for such a small team like ANAWIKI GAMES. Small is huge 
when it comes to effectiveness.
So 2006 has ended - the first year of ANAWIKI GAMES existence. Time to make new plans and summaries. Here’s the list of what we achieved:
Definitely not a bad year for a start up company.
