Heaven Sent Gaming's 10th Anniversary

Don't freak out or anything, but 2016 is Heaven Sent Gaming's 10th anniversary. We've gotta do something ladies and gentlemen!

— Heaven Sent Gaming (@HeavenSentTweet) January 2, 2016

If you follow us on Twitter, than you're already aware that 2016 is Heaven Sent Gaming's 10th year in operation. Along the way we've met numerous friends, and worked with countless talented people. It's rare for any crew to mark a decade of continuous action. God willing, we're not slowing down any time soon. Our team is now consists of three persons; cofounders Mario and Isabel, as well as editor Jason. The cofounders have been with the team since 2006, and Jason has been an on-and-off member since 2007.

Here's a strawpoll for choices on just a few options we can take for Heaven Sent Gaming's 10th Anniversary: https://t.co/8eLJTtjBfP — Heaven Sent Gaming (@HeavenSentTweet) January 2, 2016

In fact, this year, we've got a few fun things planned to mark this special occasion. If you were unaware we're running a strawpoll, check it out over on strawpoll.me. This poll will be running until the end of the month. Come next month, the results will be announced, and perhaps we'll run another strawpoll to iron out the details.

We're also planning on releasing our previous content on new avenues, we were working with Comixology to bring Reverie 2010 Collection to their service. Instead, we'll be bringing the currently unreleased, Reverie: The First 5 Years to the service. If it does well enough, we'll add more of our comics to the service.

Plans to regrow our group's numbers fell through within the last couple years, due to various reasons. These efforts mostly fell through for silly reasons, and as always, we look forward to working with any of our past members. Once a Heaven Sent Gaming team member, always a Heaven Sent Gaming team member. In fact, we're going to be reaching out to all of our classic compatriots to again join our side to make this year something special.

Our prayers and thoughts are with him and his family.

Obituary

This update covers: Mario's Grandpa, rewritten novels, our new game announced at the New Jersey Camden Comic Con, a Wikipedia incident, and New Mexico!

Comics

We have been a little thin on updates since last Sunday. Mario's Grandpa, Joe M. Lucero, is currently close to knocking on heaven's door, and both Isabel and Mario are spending their free time at his side. Therefore the comics, and their other projects, are currently on hold.

Novels

Nevertheless, that hasn't stopped Heaven Sent Gaming! If you hadn't noticed, Jason has updated and applied corrections to all of the novels! Especially digitalDomain, which has been modified to fit in more with the Heaven Sent Gaming universe, and rewritten to better fit his original concept.

Games

If you were at the 2015 Camden Comic Con, and were able to attend the Just Read the Comments: Women in Geek Culture Face Challenges Online panel, then you may have heard from the author and The Geek Initiative contributor D. H. Torkavian, that D. H. Torkavian and Heaven Sent Gaming will be working together to produce a table-top role-playing game. Its tentatively titled Thirst, when more information is availible, we will announce it here!

Videos

Videos will be inbound soon, we've got some new equipment to enable us to Twitch stream.  And, The Lucero Vlog has received its first episode on our official YouTube channel.

Web

An overzealous Heaven Sent Gaming supporter, and team member, was attempting to create Wikipedia articles about the team. This has lead to Mario's account on Wikipedia being banned in the crossfire, even though, he has had that account since 2006 and was simply editing articles about New Mexico. However, this has not quenched Mario's desire to educate and spread information about New Mexico, we will be launching a new web project about notable New Mexican information, and it will highlight the culture of New Mexico.

We will leave this post with one of Mario's Grandpa's favorite songs,

We will begin daily updates, at least one update per day, at 7PM MST starting February 8th - 14th, 2015!
