What We're Working On

I wanted this blog to sort of be an update of "what's new" type stuff at Core Concepts, and I feel that a few mentions of what we're currently working on fits into that category.

Right now we are very busy with working on CoLa. We are not only editing the games, but we are fixing them and making them a lot better. When CoLa comes out again, we're going to have several new CoLa games (including at least one new Rich Diamond CoLa game) and a few new additions to the gameplay that will make them better overall. For example, there is now a level select menu for each CoLa game which will not only allow you to select any level at any time, it will also show you what score you got on each level.

Aside from work on CoLa, we are also busy putting Rich Diamond into updated code. This is going to allow us to do several very exciting things. Earlier, I had mentioned that it will allow for much faster replays of game saves. This will definitely still be happening. On top of that, this will allow us to fix the few bugs in the Leaderboard and make it much more solid for the future rush of new customers! Once the Leaderboard is working again, we're going to have another, better contest. Be on the lookout for that!

A few other things we'll be able to do which I haven't mentioned yet are the following: It won't be too long before we get the game running on the Mac. More and more people have been using Macs these days, and people have been asking us why our games don't run on them. Well, fairly soon this will be a reality. This will allow more people to play the games, post on the Leaderboard and Messageboards, and join the Core Games community!

The next project we'll be able to work on is getting RDDP onto the iPhone and other cellphones. We have looked into this, and it actually would be much easier than we originally thought. Hopefully that will be coming out before too long as well.

Aside from Rich Diamond things, we are also still working on the upcoming Puzzle Magazine and Core Access. Both of these are going to be wonderful new ways to play our games, and more details will be given the closer we get to release of these products. I am very much looking forward to their release as I believe our customers will enjoy them greatly.

Thank you all for your continued support of Core Games. Don't forget to tell your friends about us and happy treasure hunting!

Wow guys, this all sounds really cool. I can't wait to see all this stuff out on the market. Making Core Games Mac compatible will be killer. I know 2-3 people that love RD but can't play it on their Mac just yet. As for the mobile games, that sounds really cool for people (like me) who take public transit to work. That'll give me a chance to exercise my mind on the way to/from work. Best of luck getting all that churned out!
