Subject: Notes from Draconis Entertainment: Behind the Veil
Greetings gamers,
If you've been wondering what was happening with Draconis
Entertainment, it's time to lift just the corner of the veil of
secrecy for a quick peek.
First, if you've tried to contact us in recent weeks and not
received a response, or have placed an order and not yet received
your registration key, our web host has been having some significant
problems with our email servers. We were not aware of the existence
of these problems, nor the extent to which they were effecting us,
until recently, as email would sometimes be fine, and other times
get lost in the ether. Please contact us again if you're still
waiting for a response. Chances are, our reply or your original
message was a casualty. We believe that our web host has corrected
the problem.
For quite some time, we've been developing new tools and techniques
for the future of accessible gaming. The fruits of those efforts
are coming together at long last, and we will have new games to
release in short order.
What can you expect to see from Draconis Entertainment? The
following are some of our plans. They are subject to change.
1. All future game titles will be fully cross-platform for both Mac
OS X and Windows XP/Vista. Versions of the games for both operating
systems will always be released simultaneously.
2. Our first new release will be a freebie game, available to all on
the web site.
3. Following the freebie game, we will be releasing both brand-new
titles, as well as entirely rewritten versions of our classic games
which will take advantage of our new gaming engines and be cross-
platform for Mac and Windows. These releases will be staggered
between new games and new versions of old games.
4. New versions of old games will be substantially enhanced from
previous versions with tons of new features, audio, and in many
cases new modes of game play, or entirely new sub-games.
5. We expect new game releases to come much more quickly, now that
the framework for the future has been designed and is well
underway. We hope to avoid problems like those experienced under
Vista.
More soon, and thank you for sticking with us during this time of
transition.
