			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>Yeah! our fourth game is here. It is called &#8220;<strong>Inner Quest</strong>&#8220;, a match-3 game which was created having in mind the best user experience possible. We focused on make it smoother and soft, relaxing and pleasant</p>
<p><span id="more-210"></span></p>
<p>A video says more than a 1000 screen shots:</p>
<div style="margin:10px; text-align:center; ">
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CDg8vBJdRns&#038;hl=es&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CDg8vBJdRns&#038;hl=es&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div>
<p>We are getting older, actually getting older is good for a company but anyway when I look back I feel some nostalgy (drop a tear).</p>
<p>The road until here was hard, and it seems that the upcoming road is harder, but as long as we can make games and eat every day we will be more than fine!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

The work was:</p>
<ul>
<li>Redesign the logo</li>
<li>Update the graphics in all our games (Dylo&#8217;s Adventure is the only one with the old logo)</li>
<li>Redesign our <a href="http://www.southwindsgames.com">site</a> (which was the biggest challenger)</li>
<li>Customize the <a href="http://southwindsgames.plimus.com/jsp/buynow.jsp?contractId=1661382">order pages at Plimus</a> (not as easy as it sounds)</li>
<li>Re-skin this blog</li>
<li>Buy new t-shirts with the new logo <img src='http://www.southwindsgames.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<p>Actually this has low priority over many things so it was a challenger to keep working on it with the time passing by.<br />
I&#8217;m really proud of the result <img src='http://www.southwindsgames.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our site needs a revamp, probably it will happen when our new game gets out. But that&#8217;s not all, our logo is some years old too and it is getting old fashioned. We want to redesign it to express our vision of our work.<br />
<span id="more-1"></span><br />
First we keep thinking on the same colors scheme:<br />
<img src="http://www.southwindsgames.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/vincent-van-gogh-noon-rest-from-work-1890.jpg" alt="vincent-van-gogh-noon-rest-from-work-1890" title="vincent-van-gogh-noon-rest-from-work-1890" width="456" height="365" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100" /><br />
The gold/orange complementary to an aqua cyan.</p>
<p>We also thought on adding a third color but we don&#8217;t want to push it too much, maybe it will come with the time.</p>
<p>Here it is a first model we have worked out, I hope you like it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7" title="southwindsgames_logo_alpha1" src="http://www.southwindsgames.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/southwindsgames_logo_alpha1.png" alt="southwindsgames_logo_alpha1" width="330" height="234" /></p>
<p>We are making a lot of changes to our organization, we keep growing and we would like those changes to be reflected in our image &#8230;</p>
