Over a week ago I asked for your help. Now I want to thank all of you for your great support. This really proves you like our games and encourages us to work harder on our upcoming games. Once again thanks! (And keep it coming)

One of my friends created a game and was wondering (worrying) if anyone will notice it among all the casual games that are released each week. No worries. It is noticed by many eyes.

Ricochet Infinity

Great news for all Linux users. Ravi from All about Linux posted great review of Runes of Avalon.

It might be said that there are numerous games of these sort with similar game play. To some extent it is true but if you ask me, what makes a game a success and a joy to play is a combination of factors - them being ease of control, superior graphical effects and an entertaining game play. I found “Runes of Avalon” game to sport all these qualities.

Thanks Ravi!

Yes, I need your help. We are working on two new games: Pony World and Alice in the Wonderland. We run out of funds. The games are almost done, but some extra funds would take down a lot of stress from us (we are very small self-funded studio). So how can you help? BUY one of our games:

Runes of Avalon
Maggie the Gardener
or Tom’s Hen House

Pony World is a huge game. Very beautiful. With lots of freedom and possibilities. We just finished new title screen (it’s in polish). It adds a lot to the game.

Alice in Wonderland (this is codename title) is a puzzle game similar to… Professor Fizzwizzle. Yes, we love Prof. Fizzwizzle so much that decided to create similar game to it. With a twist of course :).

Please help us a little bit. Even a single sale is very appreciated.

I’ve got couple of good news for all Runes of Avalon fans. We plan to release Runes of Avalon soundtrack - all great songs from the game have been remastered, extended and put together to create great compilation of music (18 tracks). Soundtrack will be most probably released as a high quality set of mp3 files and cd image to burn on your own (package will include cd cover images).

We are also finishing level editor, that will let you create your own set of levels. Editor is extremely easy to use and let you use all assets from the game or use your own backgrounds or songs. I can’t wait to see all the levels that Runes of Avalon community might create.

Soundtrack will be available as a separate product or as a part of Runes of Avalon Gold Edition. Level editor will be free for all Runes of Avalon owners.

Runes of Avalon Gold Edition will feature:
• Runes of Avalon full version
• Original soundtrack
• Extra levels
• Wallpapers

We started beta test program for Pony World game. If you know polish you can play it now. If you don’t, write to beta@anawiki.com to be notified about english beta. So polish players download the game: http://www.anawiki.com/download/kucyki-beta.zip. Don’t forget to fill up the questionaire, so we can send you full version of Pony World and one of our existing games (Runes of Avalon, Maggie the Gardener or Tom’s Hen House).

We’re happy to announce that Runes of Avalon is officially released for Linux. Spread the news if you can and enjoy the game!

It’s been a while since the last post about Pony World. We have given the game new title. My favourite name - Ponyville - was too risky due to My Little Ponys connections, so we decided to go with Pony World.

We’re at beta stage. Programming is done. We just need to replace placeholders. If you want to be a beta-tester for this game, feel free to send a mail to beta [at] anawiki.com. We will start beta testing next week (polish users only at the moment), though as soon as we get english translation we will start global beta tests.

Runes of Avalon for Linux, our first Linux, title is now soft launched. If you do own Linux machine and would like to play it please do not hesitate to download it. Your feedback is very welcomed. I’ve tested this on Ubuntu 7.04, but it should work on Debian and other distributions as well. Game works best with hardware accelerated OpenGL. May require libstdc++ 5 to work. We’re still learning Linux and will try to provide the best Linux experience at the end so if you find any issues just email me or leave a comment in my blog.

Minna from Grrl Gamer made a nice review of Runes of Avalon. Read more at Grrl Gamer, I’ll just quote few phrases:

Runes of Avalon is at first glance similar to many PC puzzle games I’ve been playing, but there are many little twists to your basic “match three” game that it definitely deserves a second look.

It’s definitely a “must-play” game for me.

We’re also finishing Linux version of Runes of Avalon. Linux is quite new experience for us. It works very well. The game itself runs even better than on Windows. Expect Linux launch next week.
