Happy New Year! With plenty of bubbly and Beluga, I brought in 2006 with a bang to celebrate the many milestones Malinche reached in 2005 with an eye on 2006. Thank you for being a part of it. What have we been up to? Quite a lot! Here's just a brief rundown of what we've done recently and what we're doing now... Out With the Old and In With the New ------------------------------------ Malinche is aging, thank goodness! And with age comes lots of news that all too quickly becomes old news. To that end, the annual news archiving has been completed. All news located at http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?eDCeWxrcV_VlA_hSd09ugA has been moved to the archives. What are the archives and how do you get to them? That's easy. Just scroll down to the bottom of the Malinche news page and follow the link to the page preceding it. Brave adventurers out there can explore the history of Malinche since inception with a great many pictures and comments along the way. Now would be a great time to go retro with Malinche and see what we were doing three years ago compared to now. As you walk through the corridors of time bear in mind I created Malinche with just a single inspiration back in in 1997, resumed my quest in 2002 and plowed ahead from there. It's been a wild ride and I thank you warmly for sharing the experience with me. On a reflective note, I'm more than a little surprised that Malinche is celebrating its third birthday this year. Pardon the cliche but time really does go by so fast. The last company that tried to publish Interactive Fiction failed within six months. Let's take a moment to pay homage to Implementer Mike Berlyn's Cascade Mountain Publishing and then another moment to salute Malinche as it plows ahead to its fourth year. While we're talking about new stuff and old, let me add that I loaded the company information page with a lot of new information documenting the history of Malinche and a bit of own life as well. Where's that? Over here.... http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?ylS1SVlUvDPV.feDU6vaFg Speaking of News... ------------------- I hope you did (or do) visit the news page at http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?eDCeWxrcV_VlA_hSd09ugA because you will see some astonishing news I posted on December 20th. The skinny goes like this: I'm not just working on Pentari: Second Dawn anymore. I'm also working on Pentari: The Apprentice, yet another full-length Malinche adventure as well as a private project for a multinational advertising agency in New York City. Sneak previews can be seen at http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?rWShkVNBE1fBKFhPq92WBg January is Mac Month at Malinche -------------------------------- Despite the mad rush we experienced during the holiday shopping season, I made it a point not to ignore customer service the rest of the year. There's been an ongoing challenge with Apple Macintosh users installing our games. No longer. Maestro Mike Ferrador worked his magic and created Apple installers that work as easily as our Windows installers. Mac users of all of our products can now look forward to super simple installation of their new Malinche titles. Class is Back in Session...Today! --------------------------------- Free online chat sessions resume TODAY, January 7th 1:00 PM EST at Malinche's own chatroom. Each and every Saturday at 1:00 PM EST sharp I will personally host a chat session where newcomers and oldtimers alike can shoot the breeze with me and pose any question to me. I'll be happy to provide specific examples and demonstrate how powerful my interactive fiction titles are and help you tap into this power and have some very serious fun in any and all of my titles. Where's the chatroom? Over here -- http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?HrGcsJNv3can49QCU6g43Q Much more is ahead in 2006. Let's all look forward to the future in store for all of us with anticipation. Wishing you all the best in this new year. Howard A.
