Yeah, the final of world cup is Italy – France! quite surprising result, if you were considering how those 2 teams started the tournament. Their first performances were anything but impressive… But still here they are, I guess this shows once more that to win a World Cup, beside obviously having at least some good players, you need to be on good fitness.

Greece victory in latest European Cup clearly showed that… which is quite sad, because it means more physical soccer and less tecnique, dribblings, etc which are the basis of the real fun of watching soccer!

After playing Fahrenheit, I got very interested in adventure games. I talked with my friends at Sakura and I just discovered that they’re working at one! it will be a simple 2d adventure game with manga art. The artist they hired is great, even if is from USA so not a true japanese artist 😉

< just joking, I know many people from USA who draw manga quite well! >

I’m curious to play it, even if I’ll probably have to wait until this autumn…

Yes it is! all the nice weather, the sun, the babes on bikini… ehm, ok I’m digressing. But is true, working during such periods is quite hard, I must admit. I think is not a coincidence that I released almost all my games during autumn/winter! I didn’t notice until I started to check each game release date:

Universal Soccer Manager (September ’03)

Spin Around & Ignazio the Frog (January/February ’04)

Universal Boxing Manager (April ’04)

Quizland (July ’04)

The Goalkeeper (September ’04)

Supernova: Galactic Wars (January ’05)

Magic Stones (October ’05)

In some cases the game was ready even before (like Goalkeeper) but I waited to release it, because having to fix bugs or deal with PR problems etc during the hot months for me is a pain, all the sweat, I can’t concentrate and I would do more damage than good… well we’re called Winter Wolves after all no? 🙂
