Supernova 2:Spacewar awarded!

Yes, the indie game website Gametunnel, in its popular Indie Games Of The Year awards, included my Supernova 2: Spacewar into the top5 simulation games of the year. While I think my game is more a wargame or a strategy game than a simulation, I'm still proud of have it included among the bests indie games of this year, also looking at the tough competition. On the development side, some good news: Spirited Heart is going very well, though I think I won't include a combat sub-game in it (I'm still not sure about that). But the characte generation is done, and also the status screen with all the various game options: Work, Study/Train, Relax, Relationship and Check Status. It will be a weird game I think. Similar to Cute Knight, but without the dungeon part, and with a slightly different gameplay mechanic. I am also thinking to ask Hanako's programmer to license the use the dungeon-crawler engine he used in that game, so I finally could resume working on Tower Of Destiny, which is in hiatus-mode since 2005! :/ Anyway for now I'm concentrating on Spirited Heart and 3 more "mysterious games" that will be released during next year. I don't want to disclose too much, but each game can be described with a word: Poker, Robot and Flower.

Supernova 2 update officially released and plans for future

So yesterday officially released Supernova 2 update. Got a good response so far, and I'm very proud of the result, everyone agrees that the game now is much more enjoyable. If you don't know what I'm talking about take a minute to download the free demo here. About my future plans... honestly I'm a bit burned out :D I think will take a rest for a while. I like the result I got with Summer Session, so I could work on its sequel, or do more adventure games, with more serious themes. At the same time I'll try to make some progress with my other games, however for the whole moth of August I'm taking sort of a break from intensive working. My plan is to do lots of excursions nearby to admire the wonderful lanscapes around my house :) I'll probably resume working at full-speed this autumn. Happy Holidays to everyone!
