Hello
My name is John and I represent the 7 Towers Soft Games team. It has been brought to my attention, and properly so, that we haven’t introduced ourselves in the forum causing suspicion for our activites since these are “weird” times!
So, we are small indie and retro games development team, from Thessaloniki, Greece. We have released a number of titles in itch.io and have a few games in Steam. To “address the elephant in the room” the slightly large number of releases in under our banner is because in the previous years, myself and my associate, have been developing a number of games for our own fun, practice and so as not to lose touch with game programming, whilst we have been forced, due to general financial difficulties in our country, to work in jobs totally unrelated to our skills.
Time passed and we have managed to gather a small capital to attempt to make our dream come true. Become game developers and do this for a living.
We are NOT against AI use, meaning, we are not haters, but so far we did not feel the need to use it. All our games are made by our own skills and in-house developed tools. If in the future, for whatever reason, we have to make use of it, we will be straightforward with it since we personaly believe that its nothing more than a tool. An old phrase that I was once told was, “You can spread butter with a knife and you can kill a man with it! Either way, its not the knife’s fault. Its just a tool”.
That is exactly how we feel about AI. Its just a tool. We are against its use as a lazy maker, meaning sitting on a screen, “ordering” a game like its a burger (now I feel hungry with all the butters and the burgers 
), and then serving it as a deluxe meal! That is shameful, ignorant, harmful to the scene and of course lazy!
So, having cleared the air, I hope, we can reboot our relationship here with all of you on a proper footing.
As for Amstrad CPC platform, we have two games in development at this time but they are far from nearing completion.
-
An homage to Cybernoid. Graphics done, but the engine is giving us some hard time as we want it to be a dual format (CPC 6128 & GX4000)
-
The so-called Utimate Retro Game, that we’ve gathered ideas and suggestions from 3 forums, CPCWiki included, and its still in the drawing board.
Thank you all and I hope we did it properly this time!
John
