Busy week!

Well, it's the very end of the week, but we've got some fun stuff for you.

The next patch is still underway. The bugs and kinks are worked out, the new features are in place, but we're still wrangling some final text display issues. We'll have more news for you next week on that.

So, instead of bringing you more 'next patch's notes' entries, I figured I'd do something a little more interesting. I went around the office and asked everyone to submit a screen shot of their desktop. Only rule: no sensitive info.

So I present to you a bunch of screen captures of our desktops. Not everyone who works on SAGA participated, but some other employees who don't work on SAGA did. You'll see some interesting things. And yes, we strategically positioned some of the windows on our desktops.

Take a look. You might just see some cool stuff.

- John's desktop. Tweaking the animations for the new Orc Pavises.





- Dennis' desktop. I got to work on a lot of Photoshop stuff today while blasting music. Slava has now made a 'no showtunes' rule in our office.

- Andrew's iMac. (obviously not part of the normal SAGA staff)






- Eric's desktop. He's been working on the market.



- Adam's desktop. In the map editor working on a quest.






- Sam's desktop. Just starting to work on the next newsletter.








- Mark's desktop. After a long day of squashing CP and double loot bugs.

-Kynan's desktop. Playing... *ahem* Conducting 'market research'.





-One of our Interns' desktop. Testing that particles and flags are working again.







- Slava's desktop. Figuring out upcoming promotions.


- Mike's desktop. (Not a member of the normal SAGA staff)



Until next week!

Hey guys, just read the Busy Week post and I'm a new player here on Saga, I go by Ursa Majorous in game. I'm seriously impressed with your game, the engine that runs it and everything that you guys have done recently. I couldn't help but notice two things, one is that Dennis has very annoying taste in music (because as a member of our theatre here it's what I hear everyday over and over again) and two more importantly that Slava's itinerary had a talk with Mike from Valve on it, is this a hint that Saga might be sponsored by Steam? That would be amazing for all us Steam users out there, it's a great platform and would give you so much more of an audience I think. Don't stop doing that hoojoo that you do so well guys, peace

I'm curious what Saga Tactics is, and if there's a connection between the image on Dennis' desktop and the "iPhoneTactics" on Mike's desktop...

We should have an announcement regarding tactics Monday or Tuesday, it is a brand new game.
