<p>With its bright, cheerful graphics and positive message, The Perfect Tree is a holiday treat for the whole family. Whether you&#8217;re looking for a way to unwind after a tiring day of Christmas shopping, or for something to distract your little ones until the 25th, The Perfect Tree is the perfect game!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s start by explaining what is Dress-Up Pups. <a href="http://www.anawiki.com/game/dress-up-pups">Dress-Up Pups is a Match-3 game</a> that puts you in charge of a luxury fashion agency catering to the most extravagant dog-lovers. Each customer has a unique vision for their pet&#8217;s ultimate outfit. Help them bring their dreams to life through both classic and chain-style match-3 game play, plus jigsaw puzzle mini-games.</p>
<p>At the end of 2009 we started making a little game called <a href="http://www.anawiki.com/game/the-perfect-tree">The Perfect Tree</a>, a <a href="http://www.anawiki.com/game/genre/match-3.php">match-3 game</a> where you could decorate your own Christmas Tree. We really enjoyed working on it and decided that we need to make another match-3 game. For a couple of months we&#8217;ve been exchanging ideas and experience with <a href="http://www.retrostylegames.com">RetroStyle Games</a>, the team behind the art for The Perfect Tree game. They have been great at making art, but wasn&#8217;t so successful at making games. They showed us 2 unfinished games they started working on: Fashion Life and Dog&#8217;s Fashion. It quickly became clear to both teams that we should join our forces and decided to build a game around Dog&#8217;s Fashion assets.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.anawiki.com/gfx/dress-up/fashion-faces.jpg" alt="Character concepts" /></p>
<p>We immediately started to think how we can make this game better than The Perfect Tree, what we can add or change and still keep the fun of the first game. We decided to use 3 matching modes: swap, groups and chains. Though that wasn&#8217;t enough, because we wanted to create a join between game mechanics and designing outfits. Something that would imitate creative process. And so we added collectible items (jigsaw puzzles). The concept behind this is that by collecting jigsaw puzzles Pattie gets inspired and is able to complete outfit from those &#8220;puzzle ideas&#8221;. So we had outfit ideas, but making clothes is not only about ideas. You need to sew the outfit. Jigsaw puzzle mini game was a good imitation of sewing clothes for us.</p>
<p>I understand that some may say that matching items and solving jigsaw puzzles doesn&#8217;t sound very real, but it&#8217;s a game. A game that has to be fun. So don&#8217;t get too serious about it, just enjoy the fun <img src='http://www.anawiki.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Now all that was left to do was to polish up the art, wrap it with great story (yes, I know, most of players presses &#8220;skip&#8221;, but some enjoy it) and create levels. Sounds easy, right? But that&#8217;s few months of work. And that&#8217;s not all, we had to pick the final title too. Here are some other ideas we rejected: Canine Couture, Dressed to the Canines, Dogs on the Catwalk, Doggy Divas, Four-Legged Fashionistas and Bow Wow!</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.anawiki.com/gfx/dress-up/dogs-mockups.jpg" alt="Dog's concepts" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;re almost done, but you mind be interested how we stumbled upon the idea of creating a game about dogs fashion agency? That&#8217;s where RetroStyle Games comes into action. Initially it wasn&#8217;t about dogs at all. It was about real fashion, but that project became to big to finish with available resources at that time. The team decided to make something simpler. &#8220;Maxim&#8221; magazine article on clothing for dogs along with all the cute images related to the topic was a huge inspiration for the team and that&#8217;s how Dog&#8217;s Fashion idea was born.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoyed the story about the making of Dress-Up Pups. If you haven&#8217;t played it yet, you are very welcomed to try it now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beginning of New Year is usually a good moment to take a look back and check what was achieved, what went right and what wrong. 2010 was a good year for Anawiki Games. We managed to release 3 new games and 2 others got some extra promotion. We also started one big game, that we initially hoped to release last year, but after adding few features we aim to release it in the first quarter of 2011.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.anawiki.com/game/soccer-cup-solitaire">Soccer Cup Solitaire</a></strong> &#8211; a game of love, our love of soccer, and our first try at solitaire games. We expected that it might not be a top seller, because solitaire games are played mostly by women and soccer is not theirs favorite sport. Still, we&#8217;re pleased of what we have achieved with this game, we&#8217;re pride of the soundtrack (huge thanks to Saint of Silence) and happy that those who tried the game say it&#8217;s a great game.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gabcab.com"><strong>GabCab</strong></a> &#8211; that&#8217;s probably the game that had the longest development time, almost 2 years (but soon to be beaten by Grace and the Wonderland Rescue). This game was created with the people from Reflexive, that stay behind the titles like Airport Mania or Simplz: Zoo. We enjoyed working with them and learned a lot during development time.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.anawiki.com/game/dress-up-pups">Dress-Up Pups</a></strong> &#8211; that&#8217;s our latest release, and it might be our best selling title too. I won&#8217;t write much about this game at the moment, because I&#8217;m writing longer post about &#8220;making of Dress-Up Pups&#8221;. If you want to try good match-3 game try Dress-Up Pups.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.anawiki.com/game/the-perfect-tree">The Perfect Tree</a></strong> &#8211; this charming game was created by the end of 2009, but we finished it too late to give it wide distribution. What didn&#8217;t happen last year, happened in 2010. We&#8217;ve been pleased to see that the game topped some popular charts.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.anawiki.com/game/spooky-runes">Spooky Runes</a></strong> &#8211; just like The Perfect Tree the game was created in 2009, but in 2010 we added more levels and relaxed mode. With those features it debuted on most big game sellers.</p>
<p><strong>Linux</strong> &#8211; this might sound fancy to some of you, but there are people that love Linux. We released both Runes of Avalon for Linux a long time ago, and thought that it is about time to release our latest games for Linux too. It was quite fun. We will be releasing all our games for Linux.</p>
<p><strong>Website improvements</strong> &#8211; for a long time our website was abandon. We&#8217;ve been focused on development of GabCab and other games and didn&#8217;t have much time to maintain our website. It was about time to change it. We are still focused on game development, but incrementally improve our website. Game themes (those cool images on sides) are probably most noticeable elements, but we changed website header and few menu items too. Expect to see on-line games added and probably game reviews later.</p>
<p>Coming soon games:<br />
- <strong>Arizona Rose and the Riddle&#8217;s of Pirates</strong> &#8211; we started it in the summer and hoped to release it by the end of 2010, but after adding so many cool features we aim to release it in March 2011. Hopefully it will the best picross (nonogram) game ever made.<br />
- <strong>Grace and the Wonderland Rescue</strong> &#8211; OK, maybe it&#8217;s not that much new, as it started in 2006 I believe, but it was dusted for years and finally it&#8217;s getting new shine.
</p>
<p>Stay in touch. More games to come soon.</p>
