The recent 'foxing' of the Kings Quest 9, Non-Profit, Indie Fan project, has awoken the activist in me.
Letter #1:

Greetings all,
As you might have noticed my posting of late has been, shall we say, infrequent.
With Morning's Wrath done, and a marketing campaign ahead I've been a little run down.
So there has been a lot running through my head lately, mostly to the tune of:
So what's next?
New engine? Same engine?
Wh…

To make it easier on the wallet for people to purchase Morning's Wrath
We have lowered the prices!
$19.95 for the download version
$29.95 for the boxed version
we hope this will allow more people to purchase MW, who are on a tight budget.
Enjoy!

So,
T-7 days till launch =)
things have been busy, which accounts for my very infrequent journal updates.
The website is ready, and all legal/accounting issues have been taken care of.

I have begun to shift my view to our next title.

So I am making the site, and I am trying to decide how much to reveal.
On one end of the spectrum:
I could lay it all out on the table, images of all the different characters and enemies, thier names, what they do, etc.
All the places you can visit, so on and so forth.

So, as a rule, I generaly won't be 'countering' feedback, but there were a few things in Ysaneya's feedback that made me want to give some explanation.
As for most things, if you are playing Morning's Wrath, and you find somthing like 'That is weird? why did they do that? they should have done bette…

So this weekend saw the dawn of the Morning's Wrath Demo on the GD Showcase.
The demo represents about 1/6 of the gameplay, it covers from the begining of the game, through the ashidian attack and finishes at the discovery of the mana well.
The demo is meant to offer a bit of a taste; that way if you…

So I finally got the photos of the shipping crunch we did to get Morning's Wrath to the IGF on time.
I hate photos of myself, especialy, when I've been running around ragged and there is no Air Conditioning and it's really hot,
and I haven't had a hair cut in a while cause I'm always working on somth…

1. What would you like to see most of on the new Morning's Wrath website:
a) Story/Text b) images/video c) music d)pr0n
2. For character images, would you rather have:
a) fixed-view animated(idle) character
b) controlable rotatable view, but no idle animation
c) an idle animation until you rotate (th…

WHEW! Done!
After a lot of crazyness, our entry for the IGF is all in.
MRW Produced 10 copies (CD,Booklet,CaseWrap, Shrink Wrapped) and fedEXd them to the CMP Game Group,
it was a thing of beauty to see all 10 packaged copies going out.
We also uploaded a version to thier FTP, just in-case =)

So, having my nice new smart pointer object, I decided that it would be a good idea to make practical use of it.
So I started work on a simple ArrayList, which is type safe and plays nicely with the smart pointer.
It is lacking about half of the functaionlity it should have (notably removes, and the …

I find it funny that I thought there would be a time (notably after the finish of Morning's Wrath) that I would stop working on games, I have found that this simply won't be the case.
Not more than a week of being done with the development of MW, and already my mind is ticking once again =D
Of course…

A few people commented on the template saying that the background was too 'busy', I should have mentioned that any content that goes in the template is going to be within a bordered black background.
I've mocked up the template in HTML now, I think it's good =)

Okay, so, I came to grips with the fact that I really didin't like the new website template. It was lacking the light side of MW, so I set out to make the final templated based on what I think I wan't from it.
It will still need a border of some kind i think, unless i fade out the edges, which might…

I've always known this, but never had a way to sum it up easily, but now I do.
Problems are a Gas:
'why?'
They expand to fill thier container =)
This is a cute way of noting how even when big problems go away, the problems that were little feel just as big when there is nothing bigger =)
WTF are you tal…

I finished the Help and EULA last night.
I wanted the help to be html, however I don't have the time right now to do it =/
The next step is the installer, which I will work on tonight.
I will spend the weekend installing and play-testing MW on various systems as a last-ditch compatibility test.

Quite exciting =)
I spoke with Valley Marketing again today, and we went over some further details on the new EDIGames store (soon to be EDIStuff.com), and the packaging.
