Prepare For War!

The winds are blowing, the cold rising. The last leaves have fallen, and the ice of the night envelops the earth. Winter is nearly upon us, we shall weather it, and laugh at its pitiful attempts to bring us to ruin. I speak not of only the seasons, but but also of Dark Prophecy itself.

The time is at hand, when we need to once again place our names upon the map. Our epics have always lacked one thing. Release. Even the old classics such as Omega Blue, the old Starcraft versions which had many maps completed, never had been fully completed.

Therefore I propose a new short game, something simple yet attractive we can finish within a very short amount of time. My current project, Murder at Castle Xyr, is a perfect example. A short but sweet game of mystery and surprise, and just a tad bit of devlish frustration. But the point is it will be something that will only take a short amount of time.

This point has been reinforced by J's recent fixation with rather having many short games then one or two epics that are'nt yet completed. Perhaps only as a side project, and perhaps one has already been started or discussed, you will come to realize I am often last in the loop. But its certainly something that should be considered.

Am I wrong?
