Consider this a re-launching of the project where our efforts can be discussed with EVERYONE on the team at once, keeping everyone in the loop and moving things much more smoothly.So -- why this? Why an online RPG instead of Flash Universe or any of the other games we've talked about or started in the past (including: Pinball RPG, Demon King, Pyro 3, or any of the other great games we've designed and discussed).Answer: This is us. All 4 of us are fans of online games. We like them and have played them more than most Flash developers. On top of that, we know that they possess far higher profit potentials than even the BEST single player games.Sacred Seasons has long been a flagship for proving this.

We can actually make this into our jobs for the first time ever, with a known expectation of what we'll earn in a year, instead of at the whims of the success or failure of individual single player titles. That's a damn good thing.Lets make a game we love, and lets make our lifestyles possible in the long term. I'd love to see this transition us to being the founders of our own development studio where we can secure more funding and make even bigger projects that truly excite all of us. This is the first step to realizing that future g
