There was an exciting event yesterday for all those who love 'Loom' - its creator Brian Moriarty was talking at GDC about Loom Postmortem. And it was the day when Loom has turned 25 years of age!
I hope there would be a video of that talk eventually, but for now there are only articles like
this one.
What is most interesting: Brian said he dreams about a sequel - and that he would trust only Telltale, Double Fine, and Wadjet Eye with making it. I have a lot of doubts as for Telltale (who have switched from adventures to interactive movies) and Double Fine (who did not do very well recently with keeping promises and making real adventure games), but there is hope for Wadjet Eye! At least, Dave Gilbert says he is interested
I think it would not be necessary to buy the rights from Disney as Bobbin and the swans are gone anyway.
By the way, there are many fan-made Loom sequels in the make. Like
'Forge' - it is a very decent one, with the first chapter already available. Try it!
