Very nice to look at, and I’ve heard that it’s a fun game, too. More evidence of great looking side-scrolling in 3d!

Now I’ll Tell You a Secret…

In case you wonder what was the outcome of all that MUD and server coding I did, well, I’m officially (but quietly) announcing that I have a new game in production! I have put up a minimal site and blog to get things rolling, but it’ll all be getting better over time.

This new game is a lot different from Lila Dreams, but I hope that you will like it. The type of game it is and my plans for it are all based on lessons learned and my constant research about the online game business. It’s also shaped by the fact that I have to keep things small because I’m the only one working on the game. That’s ok with me, though, because I want my games to be personal creations. I hope that some of the flavor of my imagination will show in all of these games, and more than that–I hope that you enjoy the flavor!

Plans are still in place to get Lila Dreams back on its feet as a project, but not until some time in 2010. I need to launch this new game, learn a lot more lessons, get cash flow going, and then I can bring Lila to life. I really want to do it right and have the means to give it the production values I envision for it.

Meanwhile, please check out the meager info about this new game: an online world called Spirits of Gaia.

In this game, you are a wind spirit, and you use the Wii-mote to gesture and help a boy past obstacles and dangers. I haven’t played it, but it seems pretty novel in its mechanics and definitely has nice production values.

I love the background elements and how they make the game world feel like it has some depth. NPCs, houses, and distant hills all add to the sense that there’s more “out there” than you see in the gameplay. The soundtrack is really good, too.

I found this inspiring, so I thought I would post it in case you missed it.
