We’re deep into development of our next game. Dialogue is being written, maps are being made and so on. This is when things are calm. After a game release, things are pretty crazy. It’s hard to get enough time to do any real work. Then things start to settle down and we get back into development mode. Everything starts to slow down, kind of like going to sleep.

There’s still the occasional problem that interrupts my work. Today I’ve got some guy hacking open our games and giving away the contents. But other than that, things are going smoothly.

Jack of All Worlds has been doing quite well. It’s very unlikely that we’ll do any more with the series. It was always intended as a one off. We have other ideas for smaller games that we’d like to try later on. Jack of All Worlds wasn’t a very efficient game to make. The battles, menus and other new features took far too long to make in comparison to the rest of the game. Oh well, we’ll add those to the lessons we learned from Dawn’s Light and Lilly and Sasha.

We’re looking forward to sharing some info and screens from our new game. I’m just waiting for some art to be ready so it will be a more exciting reveal.

The Lilly and Sasha guide did really well, much better than I expected. A few guides for other games have come out since. I downloaded a few to see if there was anything we could learn from them but I was underwhelmed. So I went and bought some guides for console games and now I’ve got a lot of ideas.

I’m considering new delivery methods for future guides. The PDF download has caused a few problems. Plimus only lets you download your purchase for a limited time. There’s instructions in the purchase email for how to download the guide but instructions are boring and most people don’t read them.

I’ve been thinking about what I want to do with our site. I made the original site with just Dawn’s Light in mind. We’re almost ready for a new site, probably after two more games. I’ve never liked making websites but after looking at some of the fancy frameworks that are available, that may change. I’m excited to start the new site and that’s a first for me.
