Hi everyone, this is Amanda, the gal who is behind the
Aveyond games.I thought I
should chime in to help settle the air. I'll do
my best
to help everyone understand the mystery behind the naming of
Aveyond3: Lord of
Twilight, the naming of Gypsy's Tale, and the mystery of
the
December mystery game on amaranthia.com. :-)
It is possible that I sub-consciously came up
with
the name "Lord of Twilight" after I saw the title
of the
book Twilight. I finalized this name last May.
Still, no one owns the word Twilight.
Let's see,
what's next? Gypsy's Tale. I like the imagery tied to the
word "Tale", so it
was
very important that "Tale"
was in the name of this game. I beleive
there are lots
of games with words like Tale, Quest, or Adventure in
them. No company owns these terms.
Next, the
mystery game. I play a lot of games, but the "mystery" game
was
the first non-amaranthia game that I thought would
appeal to
most
Aveyond
players. The game is called Eternal
Eden, and since the
release of
this game on my site, it has sold like mad. For good or
bad,
there are players who like Eternal
Eden over
Aveyond.
Many of you
don't know this, but one of my favorite things
to
do is to help overlooked, talented independent developers,
become
successful independent game developers. In fact,
Dave Gilbert, the
creator of
Emerald City
Confidential and Blackwell Legacy and an IGF
finalist for best new game companies was one of the first
developer's I
helped! So to make a long story short, I
found this amazing guy who
made this incredible game
called Eternal
Eden last August. I
loved the
game and thought it would take off, but it
didn't because no one knew
it was available. In
November I contacted him and he said things
weren't
going so well. He was out of money, and to my horror, only
eating every
other day to survive. He had put every
cent and ounce of his
strength into his game. So I
helped him because I wanted to see him
succeed.
Make
peace, not war everyone! If you have any
questions about
Aveyond, etc,
just email me directly and I'll do my best to explain
any
fears you may have (admin@amaranthia.com)
Now hug and make up. Life is too short to fight with
each
other. And go play games!!!
:D
