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 […]

Not much on office news today. It’s a Monday and therefore it is the wake-up day of the week. I’ve been catching up on some art surrounding the game covers, and I’ve also been reading the message boards. We are very interested in reading about what our fans are talking about, it’s so much fun […]

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 […]

It is a beautiful, mellow day today where we can sit back in our chairs and quietly work on…whatever it is we do. (Magic, some might say). I myself am working on a new design that will be for drawing people’s attention to older and current games. I hope it will be clean and catchy […]

There sure has been commotion all day today! Our printer was getting fixed this morning, people coming in and out of meetings, our Game Production Manager has a broken leg yet paid us a visit, the end of the month is coming and a few of us are scrambling to finish writing our plans and […]
