All Is Not As It Seems At UnEarthed Games · 123 days ago
Though it appears that UnEarthed Games slumbers, we are working harder than ever.
Something new is in the works.
Something unexpected, but something I hope you will enjoy.
After a brief full-time tour in the armies of Doppelganger, I’ve returned to part-time consulting, with greater dedication to UnEarthed Games (and this time I’ve brought some company).
I started UnEarthed Games with the plan to create a game entirely by myself: Art, Music, programming, everything.
Part of my reason is because I wanted to fill in my knowledge gaps around 3d modeling, animation, game design, composition, level design, audio production, and business in general.
Upon reflection, part of my reason is because I’m crazy. (And apparently don’t listen to sound advice). Everything I read about making a modern CRPG advised against attempting to do it by yourself. The reasons were usually that it was impossible.
After a few years splitting my time between consulting, and working full time on UnEarthed Gods, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is actually very possible to do. The only problem is that it would take another 5 years to finish with the level of quality I would like!
At this point, even one more year working by myself on a single project is too much. Life is short. I’ve got some games to make.
About November of 2007, I began rededicating myself to this mad, mad enterprise. Along with my two co-conspirators, we’ve been making great progress since then.
If you are thinking of taking this path by yourself, I can only tell you that I do not regret my decision. I would not know the things I know, or be where I am today if I had not made the attempt on my own. I am still convinced that you can do it by yourself if you work hard. Just beware of biting off more than you can chew, and do not underestimate the discipline you will need to keep yourself motivated for many years.
I will likely continue to update this website very rarely until we have a game completed and ready for sale, then we will reveal all.
Thanks for all your support and patience over the years!
