A few little tidbits…
July 4th, 2008First things first: my friend Lee and I have started a new blog for Stage!, the game we’re codeveloping. A few things have changed since the last time I talked about it here, namely, it’s now an interactive comic book rather than an adventure game proper, and it’s going to be made in Flash. [1] So far, only Lee has been posting, but it’s interesting reading regardless, and I’ll be following suit once I think of interesting things to add on my part. Have a looksie.
Second, I’ve posted a mini-review/critique of The Graveyard over on the Adventure Gamers staff blog. It’s an artsy interactive piece that I mentioned in passing in one scene of DREAMING, [2] and although I personally wasn’t too crazy about the execution, don’t let that stop you from taking a peek anyway.
Finally, I’m heading over to the other side of the world tomorrow — specifically, to Israel, followed by a small selection of European countries. Don’t mess up the place while I’m gone, okay?
- One of the main reasons for this is because I’ve recently purchased my very first Mac, and have thusly decided that I wish to do the remainder of my indie projects in a cross-platform environment. Another reason is because I just plain want a more generalized set of tools, given that my design ideas seem to be outgrowing the adventure game-specific engines I’ve been using. ↩
- Which reminds me, I still need to do this big huge retrospective post I’ve been planning in my head. Soon, I hope. ↩

… Hi from Israel!

Oh, it was you that wrote about the graveyard at AG. I didn’t notice (the names are easy to miss, since they’re so small and at the beginning of the piece) but I guess I should have guessed it. I considered posting a reply, but will need to think a bit more first.
Another blog to look at! Later, maybe.
Good luck on your journey to our side of the world! I hope you’ll have fun. (Particularly in the meaning of the word I use when I say that games should be fun. The opposite of that is “boring”.)

On the subject of not messing things up, here’s a funny bit of trivia: 90% of the spam I get posted on my site comes in the form of a comment to the post on Pigeons in the Park. I wonder why.

Hey, you’re coming here? What’s your connection to Israel?

Oh, right, you’re gone already. Maybe someone else knows what she’s doing in Israel?

Mory, I have a good guess. There’s a hint around this website
Since there’s another living Israeli around, I’m open for an adventury meetup. Contact at ori@avtalion.name

[...] P.P.S. Deirdra hasn’t has a chance yet to make any posts here, but she did make mention of this blog over on her regular production blog here. [...]

*grins* Hope you’re having a good time in Israel. Looking forward to you getting back.
