Pastel Stories

I tend not to write personal stuff about myself on my site, but this time it’s different and it actually concerns you, the players. Today was my last day at work. After six years I quit. They weren’t specifically happy about it, but I quit anyways. From now on I’m commiting my full work-time to developing games. And that’s the news you’re probably glad to hear. What does that mean to you - the player? Well, more games. Or maybe the same amount of games, only better ones. The advantage of this in the nearest future is of course quicker release of Covert Front 3 (hopefully in November or December), and in a bigger view - more Submachines, Daymare Towns, Covert Fronts and the other genre - silly games as well (mothballs, missions to…, pastel bunch games like Castle Run - pastel bunch is the ancestor of the Squirrel Family as that series is closed as of now). I also have ideas for new games series, which will emerge in upcoming 2009, staying a secret for now. All that will also mean my more frequent presence on Pastel Forum, in case you’d like to speak to me in person.
Answering your recurrent questions that pop up from time to time in your comments:

• is there going to be another Submachine?

Yes, of course. This series is open. I don’t know how many more I will make, but at least 10. Just see how it looks: Subamchine X. :D

• when will you create another Covert Front?

I’m making it right now. Along with other games, but still. This is my priority project. Hopefully I will finish it this year. And more Covert Fronts will follow, quicker than this one. :/

• How about DaymareTown?

Yes, that too. Those above are my three main game series, and I’m making them in this order: Covert Front, Submachine, DMT.  One after another. And I’m not stopping them for now. However - Covert Front finishes after fifth episode, but until we get to that point - I’m sure that many other games will emerge, or if not, I’ll stick to making Submachines and DMT one after another. I’m sure this outcome wouldn’t be so bad after all ;).

That’s it for now.
The bottom line is - as of now I’m all games (and comics occasionally) - so if I ever needed your strong support - it’s right now.

And I’d like to leave you with this video, as it suits the situation perfectly (well, not really, I didn’t win Lotto - but still, happy and free as a bird).
