Been a while.

I'll admit I slacked off. I could list a number of reasons for that, but I won't bore you - and myself - by enumerating them. Simple fact is that I got lazy, and I'm here to make it up to you. We, at Blood on Binary, have never stopped developing our games, even though it may seem like that since we frequently drop off on the PR and public presence.

One of the problems with this blog is that I felt unable to blog about non-Sacred Chronicle-things. I frequently had things relating to...well...non-gaming topics, and I didn't have a place for them. That has now changed, which hopefully will help to bring this blog back into focus for me. Behold: http://sunathalgeraan.blogspot.com/

Now that I've shamelessly plugged my personal blog, let me continue on with a little Sacred Chronicle update. It's about a little thing called a timetable.

At Blood on Binary, we are working hard on several projects. None of them are Sacred Chronicle. Most of our effort is being diverted to Escalation-Online, and getting a big release ready for sometime after the 1st of 2009. We also have several other, more classified projects underway, which are infinitely simpler than Sacred Chronicle. My baby's a big game, and it will take, in all honesty, more effort to produce than we can at this time bring to bear.

So what then of this blog?

If you're reading this, you're coming from one of several places. People from each of those places have very different backgrounds. My approach will be thus: I will blog about a specific topic each week (or possibly longer), and then discussions will be held on that topic. As a result, there will be very few surprises about the game to those who read this blog, but hopefully the end result will be that much stronger because of the diversity of the opinions which form a trial-by-fire for my ideas and plans.

I recognize that some things simply must be tested before they can be seen to be a benefit or a hindrance to the game. Those topics will be kept more to the outside of the discussions here, to the best of my efforts.

I also recognize that it will take some time for people to start reading this from the various places I will post it. To that end, no discussion topics will be posted for a week or two until I know that people have seen my various posts.

I'll close by saying that if you're reading this blog, I'd much appreciate it if you'd leave a comment to this post, signifying that you're here and reading. One of my excuses for ceasing the blog previously was because of my impression that nobody was reading, whether that perception was accurate or not. By all means, comment! I want your thoughts...mmm....thoughts. Yummy.
