We took a look at a proof of a box layout plus the embossing design, it’s is pretty cool to see our boxes from its early stages to the finished product. Also, another cover design for a new game is in the process of being fully illustrated (now that the layout design was decided upon). […]

I’m having quite a different day today. Office updates include the following: There’s a new office puzzle we are working on during our lunch breaks in the kitchen, (maybe I’ll post a picture when it starts to take formation), something smells in one of our refrigerators and we have yet to find the cause, testing […]

Our production department is scurrying to get a beta build done for some serious testing. This is the fast and busy part for them and I’m excited to test out this early version of the game. (I occasionally sneak a peek at some environment art, which is so beautiful and rich!) As for me, today […]

This is a really exciting time for some of us in the office (and the perhaps the most infuriating for our fans). Ok, maybe it’s exciting only to me, because it’s a bit mind-boggling and slow at times. It’s the halfway point in creating a game when most of the art is done, the puzzling […]

As I may have mentioned before, every once and a while I would hear a horse whinny. It would come from any direction in this office, meaning not only is it coming from different locations, it also moves mid-whinny! After two months, I finally discovered the source: the new Nancy Drew Mobile Mysteries®: Shadow Ranch […]

I’ve heard some people in the office have been testing early game builds, which is exciting. (This is when much of the art is finished and it is then put together like a puzzle, then we see if it works). It is a motivation to imagine every task of ours as a challenging puzzle, it […]
