Once again, just as year ago – nomination for the ‘Artist of the Year 2006’ award in a plebiscite organized by a polish nationwide newspaper ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’. This time they took into consideration my newest comic album, ‘Rewolucje4: Syntagma’, and in general diversity in publishing ‘Alicja’ and ‘Kantor’ – again in the ‘Literature’ category. Well, this is kind of neat, though I feel like a little bit misplaced. Whatever.
December 31st 2006, sunday:
As I look at this passing year, all I can say is… HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY :-]
December 5th 2006, tuesday:
It’s been a busy year concerning squirrel games… Well, not only that, also concerning submachines…. and comics as well. Ok, it’s been a busy year. Just released another squirrel game. The Puppy Fetch hosted by 2dplay is something that you have never seen before. You play as a puppy, and as your squirrel master throws a stick, you have to fetch it. Meaning: run as fast as you can, find the stick and mind the obstacles on your way, such as bad terrain, vicious cats and bulldogs. This game is timed so you better hurry up;)
November 13th 2006, monday:
newest Squirrel Family game is online. The Squirrel Harvest hosted by 2dplay is a point and click reflex and skill game, where you have to collect as many acorns as possible in given time period
October 7th 2006, saturday:
also today my newest comic album has been released. ‘Rewolucje4: Syntagma’ from Egmont Editions wraps up the revolutions series, finishes all unfinished substories and explains it all. Only for polish viewers I’m afraid. And this is not the end of this series. More albums are still to come, as I have three already finished scripts for the next parts of the series. The future is looking bright and shiny.
October 7th 2006, saturday:
Today my comic album ‘Blaki’ received ‘album of the year 2006’ award granted by audience of the International Comic Festival in Lodz. Thanks guys.
October 2nd 2006, monday:
the site has been updated to a new design and I also launched new section – movies. Besides regular animations that have been here since day one, now you can also watch my feature movies, placed on youtube servers. Enjoy.
September 5th 2006, tuesday:
well, I forgot to tell you this earlier. Submachine Zero: the ancient adventure is online since about a week now, as jayisgames competition entry. This is just a small diversion from the main storyline in submachine series, as it has nothing to do with the main plot, it’s a small and easy game, just testing the all-new rebuilt game engine, for you to see the modifications and stay up to date before launching the big game – submachine4: the Lab. I got a lot of messages lately asking about the release date of this game – I really can’t tell, I just hope it’s this year, maybe november or december…
meanwhile – short description of submachine0:
there are three facts about this game that you need to know:
1. this game was created for JayIsGames flash games contest and has nothing to do with the main submachine series storyline. It had to meet the contest’s specifications, hence…
2. this game is short. And I mean it. Don’t expect dozens of locations to wander around solving countless puzzles, this game is shorter than Submachine1.
3. this game uses completely new game engine, which I rewrote from scratch. For example, there is a new way of using items that you collect. Its more like ‘take the item and put it back’ than ‘drag and drop over something’, like it was in previous submachine games. So think of it as a small warm up before ‘Submachine4: the Lab’, which I am already developing. Till then – have fun with this ancient adventure.
August 3rd 2006, thursday:
Submachine3: the Loop is online and kicking. Continuation of the main submachine storyline, but with a different view at pnc gaming.
June 13th 2006, wednesday:
long awaited release of Submachine2: The Lighthouse game, a sequel to the succesfull Submachine. This time the area to discover is about 5 times bigger and the puzzles are more dificult. That’s what most of you wanted in your emails that I received after the first game. So enjoy, and Submachine3 is already in production.

This album left my shelf empty, since now I’ll be publishing only new material, everything that has been done in the past worth publishing was published already.

Nomination for the ‘Artist of the Year 2005’ award in a plebiscite organized by a polish nationwide newspaper ‘Gazeta Wyborcza’. This is very ennobling for me, as I was nominated in the ‘Literature’ category for my comic album ‘Rewolucje: Monochrom’, which is quite strange in a country where comics is basically treated as amusement for kids and retards. Other names in this category are very well known polish book writers, as Stefan Chwin and Mieczysław Abramowicz.
January 9th 2006:
New game launched: Tribal jump, so I’m going back to the roots of my game developing. A brand new squirrelfamily.com game, licensed to 2Dplay.com, will surely be visible on other flashgame -related pages as well in time. Update on Submachine: 1/3 of the second game finished. I’ve got a title for this game ready: ‘Submachine2: the Lighthouse’. Meanwhile I’m working on three new squirrel family games, not speaking of new revolutions album, which I just started drawing. Oh my friggin’ head, it’s wasted…
Today my comic album ‘Blaki’ received ‘album of the year 2006′ award granted by audience of the International Comic Festival in Lodz. Thanks guys.

Polish gaming magazine “Click!” writes about the Squirrel Family. Now that’s an oddity. Someone actually wrote an article, well, a note, about my games and not my graphic novels here in Poland. However the note is slightly outdated. The Squirrel family website doesn’t exist anymore, but you can find all the squirrels right here.

500 000 users on submachine: extended version. Thanks guys. This is still a surprise to me, that this particular game gained such success on the internet. Once again thanks to Graeme and lazyLaces; And I frankly can’t imagine how many people have played the first Submachine, since it spread over the internet on so many gaming portals.
November 20th 2005:
Ole Comoll Christensen sent me an image to my celebrity guestbook, yet another aspect of the Revolutions that I didn’t know. He is a danish comic artist, you can check more of his work at www.comoll.com.
November 15th 2005:
I’ve created an extended version of the submachine, especially for the frontsteps.com, where I can watch the stats of the game. This version of the game is tougher and has more rooms, in the meantime I started creating submachine2 on a different engine hoping to finish that game in January or February 2006.
October 7th 2005:
Meanwhile, in the normal world my newest album has just been published. ‘Blaki’, 46 black and white pages, in cooperation with Karol Konwerski. The premiere was scheduled to meet the MFK2005 (International Comic Festival in Łódź, Poland).
October 2nd 2005:
Well now this is strange. Due to enormous success of the game Submachine and thousands of players I had to remove all of my games from rewolucje.com, because Submachine was causing gigantic transfer, that would consume my yearly license in like three days. Right now Submachine is back online on a different mirror, and I’m looking for a new home for other games.
September 21th 2005:
The Revolutions comic series is growing further. Tomasz Bagiński, polish 3D animation artist, nominated for Academy Award Oscar for his movie ‘Cathedral’ is working on creating a new movie, base d on the ‘Kinematograph’ comics, taken from the third album of the Revolutions: Monochrome. this is a major breaking news for the series and for contemporary movie business. So next year watch out for the Kinematograph movie, kids.
