All Good Things....
Posted: Fri May 15, 2009 11:24 am
No, not all good things must come to an end!
But sometimes good things get delayed a bit due to those nagging problems of real life and the albatross of a day job. It's partly my fault to accept so much consulting business this spring, but when more and more people are out of work or low on work I was perfectly willing and able to totally fill my schedule (even had to turn down some work because I'm teetering on overload now)!
So anyway, I really wanted to clean up some of the forum posts and announcements, and let everyone know just what is going on here.
Important facts:
1) I'm not dead!
2) We have not given up on Rogue Touch!
3) We do still have several planned updates to RT, none of them will be game breakers. A shop (and possibly an alternate quest) will be made available, the details will remain secret for now until we can finish working on them.
4) A couple of months from now when the consulting work has dried up we plan on starting an ambitious quest to complete *several* new and interesting games this year, probably with staggered releases throughout the fall.
Questions that I'll come back to this post and expand on:
1) When will 1.6 be ready, what will it contain?
2) Where is my secret character I won in CD's Angels?
3) When will the next leaderboard contest be held?
I apologize if any of you feel that this got left hanging. I should have seen the storm brewing with my consulting work, but now it's come to a head. I'll be working and living out of a hotel for a majority of the next 8 to 10 weeks. And it's not a luxury hotel in some tropical setting as NightOwl40 can attest to- she knows where this place is, not exactly my idea of fun
Depending on how well the consulting gig does each day I will try to make a bit of new progress every night towards version 1.6 and the hotly anticipated new features.
Thank you everyone for your understanding and love of the game! I hope that at least some of you will try out our new games later this year too
