Hello all Pastel Games fans!

This is the first of many upcoming weekly (monthly, emm… time-to-time) summaries. In this post I’ll try to keep you updated on all the things that happened since my last “The Summary” entries. And by keeping you updated I intend to keep you informed not only about our projects but also on how things are in our company, who did what etc. (this is starting to sound like a gossip blog post… oh well). So… let’s start!

First thing I’d like to mention is that we finally managed to get the desired “things” we wanted to get so that we could put more games in the appstore (by “things” I mean some blah blah blah stuff you don’t really want to read about). To celebrate that we already sent 3 games to the appstore and I think they should arrive… hmm… soon!

The first game you’ve already seen on this blog (the games intro movie to be precise) - ”The Glade”. I’ve asked you on the forums about what do you thing the game will be about. You gave us some answers and surprisingly one of the posters was right (I really don’t know how could he have figured it out by only looking at the movie… creepy).

The other two games have also been discussed on the forums. The only information I gave you was that these two games are based on flash games that we already released. I’ve asked you (I think my forums status should be changed to “Quiz Master”) what two games do you think will be ported to the appstore… well… no one guessed the right games… anyway I hope you will like the games (even tho they weren’t your top picks).

Enough about the games we are releasing… Now for some future plans.

I’ve asked you (heh…) what flash games would you like to see on your iPod Touch/iPhone (or what games do you think people with that devices should have). Almost everyone said what we think you would say – no surprise here – Submachine. I think all of you already know that we have a Submachine game already up on the appstore (and most of you think it’s too short and too easy). The thing you might not know is that the price of the game has been recently lowered (0,99$ at the moment) and I think it will stay that way for some time (who knows what crazy idea will we come up next).

Oh! And about Submachine – the game won Jay is Games vote for Best 2009 Adventure Game. Thanks for all the votes : D

Also I’ve wanted to know if the pastel fans would like to see a bigger, longer, more awsome, breathtaking, epic, 10/10 (stop reading this line if you get the idea), beautiful, perfect, unforgettable Pastel Games game. You said yes (now that wasn’t surprising). The thing you might not know is that it’s coming! I can’t tell you when it’s finished but it’s better then nothing right?

Enough! No more information (for now) about our present and future games…

Oh! I almost forgot! We’ve changed the Pastel Games website design! (not that you’ve already noticed)

Now to some off-the-record news about Pastel Games

We had a long break in developing games and I think most of you probably noticed but it was due to some blah blah “stuff” you don’t really want to read about… but we’re back!

You might have noticed a increase in our crew members (if you haven’t check the About Us section on our page) so let’s all say a big “Hello!” to Robert Musialek and me (:D). Robert is a programmer and I’m the new designer (with some PR thing going on – as you can see). More information about us you can read on the Pastel Games website.

While all of us are working hard (and I mean very, very HARD) on the upcoming games Mateusz left for Italy (for a comic book festival). This should explain the fact that he wasn’t appearing on the forums lately (in case you were worried). I’ll try to get some pictures from him when he comes back to post them in the next summary.

Many other things happened in the office but I don’t think I should write about them (actually I don’t think I’m allowed to write about them).

I was going to post some pictures from our new office but I wouldn’t have anything to write about in the #2 Summary.

That’s about it. I really hope you’ll like our upcoming releases. I hope you liked the Summary – feel free to add comments about the office life, our products or anything else you want to write about and if you have any opinions or suggestions on what you’d like to see more in the Summary posts give me/us a message in a comment under this blog entry.

What we are working on? This short video will answer that question “The glade” comming soon!

After a long break we bring you the second episode! With it you will get to know more about the space station and what happened there.

You will have to wait just a while longer – this game will be released this january.

The 2nd episode is being created by a checked and great graphic designer/animator Kamil Kochanski (known from Scene of the Crime and The Great Escape series) along with Konrad Hildebrand (scriptwrighting debut with a little bit of my help).

hats for the text, now some screenshots!

(Oh and the programmer is ofcourse Mateusz Skutnik).

As Mateusz wrote on pastelstories “Wrapping up 2009 means ranking over at Jay’s. Once again we’re going strong and last year was very fruitful, you can tell by our share of games in Jay’s nominations”.
This year we got 7 nominations in three categories:

- adventure (Submachine 6, Covert Front 3, the Fog Fall 2);
- escape (the Great House Escape);
- point and click (Bermuda Triangle Escape, Mandrake 1, the Scene of the Crime);

There are lots of good games nominated to this award – its great that we can find ours among them!

this is a background of an iPhone game that I’m currently working on. It’s some sort of a cave.

A few words to sort things out – the last few months we didn’t release many games for you to enjoy. The reason behind that is that these months changed many things (MANY things). The good part is that now you can enjoy our new logo, new site, youtube channel, facebook page and a twitter site!

Besides that Pastel Games has grown! Our new and old team members you can see in the „About us” page on our site.

To be honest everything changed. No! Wait! The games didn’t change!

We start the year with the 2nd part of Space Oddity (coming this January!)

What’s next? Daymare town3, Fog Fall 3, Covert Front4 and… Submachine7!

From now on we promise to inform you about all our future projects.

And now if you have any questions, suggestions, opinions – write to us.

Happy new year Everybody !
