It's taken a while but I'm finally starting to feel that we've got a solid grip on things. Every single department is active with several members working and dev'ing away, every department lead is digging into their own separate ideas independently of others and the project leads have got the overview of the tasks and milestones in the horizon - in short everyone is active and taking initiative; the optimal condition to me, and the most fun!
Furthermore we're starting to look forward and plan for what's to come. This is something I've been thinking a lot about for a long time. Even the best games won't develop anywhere unless the whole team work together towards a single, united - and appreciated - goal. If everything stands still no developers can motivate themselves and nothing new will arrive for the players. In short: bad news. For quite a while Eternal-Silence have been developed in the shadow of what has been accomplished before. For a few years now we haven't really had any particular goal, and honestly I think it has shown. This is starting to change completely though, and we're now working towards some really really interesting things. One might say we've moved from the shadows and into an endless landscape of possibilities: Where do we want to go? Who do we wish to target? What kind of style are we aiming at? What is the measure of the quality? Game-concept? Etc. The list goes on (trust me) and this is going to be our next big challenge: Keeping track and keeping real (if you have answers this is the place to go!).
Again I hope for your support and I'm thrilled to show you where we're getting at and what we're accomplishing. In a few days the next release will be out, and from there on much much more content are coming. As always I promise to keep feeding you with information :)
Wish us luck!
