Something’s In The Air is one year old this week, at least the open beta is. Combined Beta and 1.0 downloads has reached 93,000. I recently did a new play through using my tablet PC, and only found two minor bugs. I plan to do a 1.1 version once the Date Ariane update is done, at the very least just

This is a continuing series of directors commentaries on the Something’s In The Air game available here. It contains spoilers, and this post is best read after playing the game first. Almost exactly one year ago, I posted the first beta of Something’s In The Air on a couple of websites where I knew I would get constructive feedback and

After over two years of work, Something’s In The Air is finally done (for now), with version 1.0 now released. You can download it here for Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Now that the game is out, I thought I’d write some commentaries on the game, throw some insights into my thinking. I’m doing this as a “Director’s Commentary” like you might have in a DVD if this was a movie. This post will contain spoilers! If you have not played story 1 yet, download the game now and play it

After more than two years in development, Something’s In The Air is now available for download at ArianeB.com/sita. There is a lot of downloading going on , so it may take a while to load the 180MB file, but I have not heard any complaints that the download is not working.
