 jaes | Skrevet 04/04-12 17:49 | Jane Jensen har startet et nyt spilfirma. Udover at man kan købe deres spil traditionelt, tilbyder de en rækker community-abonnementer, hvor man, udover deres spil, får Kickstarter-agtige fordele, og yderligere kan være med til at stemme om hvilke spil de skal udvikle. De smider også selv nogle penge i projektet.
De har af praktiske hensyn valgt at bruge Kickstarter, men det kunne i princippet fungere selvstændigt a la den måde, Zero Point Software (Interstellar Marines) kører det.
Synes det ene af de tre spil lyder interessant. Der er dog meget lidt info om det nu, men det kommer i starten af maj. Som bonus mener de, at der er gode muligheder for at de senere kan udvikle Gabriel Knight 4.

Nu jeg alligevel skriver igen, så lige et citat om Moebius (der lyder dejligt Gabriel Knight-agtigt):
"Story: Malachi Rector is an antiquities dealer who hunts down artifacts all over the world. After losing everything in a fire, he's hired by a Manhattan millionaire to investigate a series of events and document them in his meticulous way. But Rector soon realizes that the events hold a bizarre significance, as does his own existence. This is a metaphysical thriller ala Dante’s Equation and Gabriel Knight.
Art Style & Mechanic: 2D, graphic novel look and feel (like an updated GK1). It will be a 3rd person adventure game with a point-and-click mechanic and lots of sophisticated puzzles."
EDIT: Så lige den her på Kickstarter, der kaster lidt mere lys på tingene:
"If we raise $600K or more the season will ALSO include:
* A second Jane Jensen adventure game on PC download, due approximately June 2013. We have a white board full of concepts that have been crawling around in Jane’s brain for years. Or it might be another of the 3 concepts below -- if it gets enough of your votes." |

| jaes | Skrevet 30/04-12 17:58, rettet 30/04-12 18:06 | Det går en smule trægt for deres Kickstarter, så hvis man sidder på hegnet, synes jeg man om ikke andet skal kravle over og smide bare en smule guld efter projektet - hvis man er til Gabriel Knight og lign. spil, da Moebius er blevet udvalgt, og det befinder sig i samme skuffe :)
Fordi jeg er så flink (og fordi jeg rigtig meget håber, de klarer den), så paster jeg lige den mest relevante info:
"It’s official! Pinkerton Road’s first adventure game will be Moebius. Our early backers voted on 3 concepts and Moebius won by a strong margin. So what’s it all about?
Story: Malachi Rector is an antiquities dealer who hunts down artifacts all over the world. After his upscale Manhattan store is destroyed in a fire, he's hired by billionaire Amble Dexter to investigate a series of events and document them in his meticulous way.
The first event is the death of a young woman in Venice. She was found hanging from a bridge. As Rector investigates her life, compiling facts for his dossier, he realizes that the beautiful and talented young woman -- and the interrupted path of her life -- had great hidden significance. It appears that Amble Dexter and his associates are playing with the fabric of life in a way Rector never imagined was possible. Even he, Rector himself, is part of a larger pattern. He must figure out who is doing what, and whether their intentions are for good or ill, before he can decide if he will play his pre-scripted role -- or try to change the outcome. This is a metaphysical thriller ala Dante’s Equation and Gabriel Knight.
Art Style & Mechanic: 2D, graphic novel look and feel (like an updated GK1). It will be a 3rd person adventure game with a point-and-click mechanic and lots of sophisticated puzzles. It will have two modes: Casual Mode (with hints, a hotspot finder and a simplified interface) and True Adventure (more challenging -- like the Gabriel Knight games).
Size: Moebius will be about the size of GK1 – 50 rooms with 10-20 hours of gameplay (depending on your level and gameplay mode)."

EDIT: Og nej, det er ikke samme info som i indlægget over - det er udvidet og nyere info ;) |

 millennium | Skrevet 02/05-12 13:47 | | Generelt får man lyst til at støtte kvindelige spildesignere. Er der en branche hvor der er hårdt brug for lidt kønsliglig udligning, så er det dæl'me spilbranchen. | The medium is the message.

| jaes | Skrevet 03/05-12 00:23 | | Der er i hvert fald brug for flere i de lidt mere kendte spilproduktioner (der er en pæn slat, der designer de mere ukendte indie-titler). Af creative directors/lead-designere er der vel ikke mange andre udover Jane Jensen og Amy Hennig (Uncharted). |
