Themes Do Sell Games
Yes. You read that right. I’m reversing my stance. Well, to a point, anyway. Neither gameplay nor presentation can stand alone — they are co-dependent.
I’m switching gears for a bit to do an experiment. I’ve put my current project on hold for the time being while I whip up a little game chock-full of style designed to blow the mind of my target audience, but with a less-than-innovative style of play (still fun, however.) I should be completing this experiment within the next few weeks, after which time I will submit it to some of the major casual portals. If the game is accepted, I won’t be able to report on its success by numbers, but I’ll give a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down as it progresses.
The experiment is as of yet untitled, but I’ll announce more details as production continues.
