pennmom, I'm here! ! I'm Jose from ikigames.com. We are the authors of the DragonScales games, and other titles such as NagiQ, The Rainbow Machine and 10th Corpse. We're currently working on a new casual game, a Match 3 in the traditional sense, and I hope to post further details once we are nearer to an alpha version. For the time being, I can say we'll try to focus on Match 3 puzzles with this new game. Of course, we'll be pleased to receive your early feedback! Zany Face Also, I wanted to announce that it seems 10th Corpse for Mac will be released by Big Fish on January 6th. Currently, all our games are 20% OFF on ikigames.com. And we have discounts on other sites such as Steam. Well, that will be all for now. It's time to go back to the grind. May you stay healthy, and happy holidays! Snowball Fight Santa

Welcome ikigames, glad to see you made it here! I'm in an even nuttier mood than usual, so only just noticed your name sounds like "icky games" and your Twitter handle is the "super" form of that even. Folks, don't be fooled, Jose makes anything but! (rofl) So don't be afraid to wander deep into the woods and find the tenth corpse or get a heart of dark flames LOL. 8D Of course, now I'm wondering why he chose that name to begin with considering how it sounds to me now, heh... Glad to hear there's a M3 game in progress. I'm starting to get an inferiority complex over my lack of nonogram skills since I was finding Daydream Mosaics to be a challenge and nobody who's any good at that sort of game would find it hard!

pennmom , SynthpopAddict , SynthpopAddict , I'm sure you'll overcome that inferiority complex pretty soon. You're smart, so those nonograms will be a piece of cake for you, soon. Hey, icky is sticky! Maybe someday we should consider making some icky game with gore and zombies! But the origin of the name comes from the east. Do you know the ikigai term now relatively en vogue? Well, that's where the "iki" comes from. That "iki" meaning "life". I'm back to the grind! Take care!

ikigames, SynthpopAddict, I feel like we should have our own Woodsy saying now kind of like Hakuna Matata only with IKI,..Hakuna IKI Matata Jose! (I guess that would mean No life worries?)

Great that you didn't take it the wrong way, Jose. :D And thanks for the explanation on the origin of your company's name. Japanese is not a language I'm conversant in so I completely missed that, but that's a wonderful concept. In some ways, games mirror life; the really great ones are beautiful, and make you think with a purpose, and bring you joy and a little frustration at times. That's what I love about your games. :) But if you decide to do the gore and zombies one, think I'll have to give it a miss because I'm too much a "fraidy cat".
Hahaha, I wish nonograms would become a piece of cake because my other game designer friend is working on another one and I've already promised him to provide feedback, but nope, even after playing through all 3 difficulty modes in Daydream Mosaics because the gaming OCD insisted I get all the stones, I'm still in the phase where I actually have to think about which mouse button to click and have to spend several seconds staring at the squares in a row or column to figure it out, and sometimes the brain signals still get crossed despite all that on 20 x 20 or so grids. :-S Meanwhile there's peeps who can do really gigantic nonograms in monochrome which if I ever had to deal with 100+ squares in every direction in one color I wouldn't be able to do if I had a million years...

pennmom , ikigames , SynthpopAddict , Happy New Year! This one will be better than 2020. pennmom Hakuna iki matata sounds really good! Also, it seems that Swahili and Japanese share some phonological traits. Vowels seem the same, just like in Spanish, in sharp contrast to the multitude of vowel qualities in germanic languages. You know what? I loved the fireworks in the background! I won't work today. I'll just take a little walk

pennmom, ikigames, SynthpopAddict, sonia (username @eskarina)We're doing progress with a level editor for our new game. Hopefully that new level editor will allow for faster design, and also other members of our team will be able to modify the levels "in-place" during our internal evaluations. We've also completed 7 HO scenes to include as minigames. Slowly but steadily :)

Ha ha! And even if the fish or other "hidden object" is that big I might still miss it in a HOS. :P

ikigames , I've got a suggestion for the DS series. Including a wallpapers option in the games so we can view the level backgrounds would be awesome as I love the imagery used and sometimes I've wanted to just look at the "scenery" but of course the playfield is getting in the way. The hexagons being translucent was probably the workaround for that in all of the games, but I remember asking for them to be darkened in the most recent game as I was having a hard time figuring out where I could play scales sometimes. But even in earlier games where the hexagons are lighter, the playing board still gets in the way of the lovely pictures.
