Finally Something to Post - 04/10/14
Since Dayle's vacating the company, it's been a real struggle to find a programmer to pick up the slack on It Hungers, Swipe Attack, and SL'UP. Thankfully, I've found a programmer to take on It Hungers and another programmer that was really intrigued by SL'UP. Things are pretty slow going on It Hungers, but progress is being made. SL'UP on the other hand, has come a long way in just a couple of weeks! It's only using placeholder art, but the dynamic lighting is a thing of beauty!
The only project that Dayle's allowed to work on, Slipshot, has also been slow going. We'll get there eventually, but my day job and my newborn daughter are front and center right now, as they should be!
Stay tuned, folks, Greater Good Games lives on!

Where'd We Go?! - 09/24/13
First, I, Dayle, must apologize for our little news feed blackout as of late. Life has taken a drastic turn for both of us due to my landing an amazing job at Metamoki, creators of Mob Wars. Those of you that have been following us closely know that I have been working at various companies throughout the life of Greater Good Games, so what makes this job any different? Well, Metamoki had this minor stipulation on the job: no side work allowed! When I first heard this, my immediate reaction was "No frickin way! Not interested!" But, rather than immediately saying "no", I decided to discuss it with Noah, who would be all but out of a job if I took the job. Despite this, Noah was adamant about me taking the job, which was just astounding to me. So, with a heavy heart, I decided to take it.
What does this mean It Hungers and Swipe Attack? Well, Noah has decided that he wants to get those 2 games out there, both for his portfolio and because they have potential to be frickin awesome. So, he is continuing development on those 2 titles with some programmer friends of his. It's slow-going, however, as Noah has had to return to having a full-time job and working on Greater Good Games' projects on the side.
What does this mean for the future of Greater Good Games? Perhaps, this could be the end of the road for Greater Good Games as a not-for-profit entity raising money for good causes through our passion for games. BUT, Metamoki does allow side projects that advance the skill sets of their employees, so I have been cooking up a little free, open-source project. Stay tuned folks, things might have dramatically changed, but Greater Good Games will not die!
