I can't wait. It sounds brilliant. I want to go down the well ... I love games with dark tunnels & spooky atmospheres & people who are not what they seem.

Thanks NJ, I appreciate the interest. It's not planned to come out until late 2007, but don't be surprised if you see another AG slip in under the radar before then. smile

Hey Ivinia! wave Okay, we won't be surprised. Any more information about this other adventure? Existence is satisfying, but details are more filling. laugh

LOL, Becky! smile

Ok, here's the deal.

Raven's Hollow - Intricate story, different characters, dialogs (I personally don't like long dialogs that much in games, so don't expect anything long-winded here), lots of diverse areas to explore with a mixture of inventory and logic based puzzles. As such, it's a lot more involved to make sure that the story line is fully developed without loopholes, coordinating things with voice actors, clothing and rigging characters, animations, music, etc.

The 'Other' game - Think Aura, Alida, Rhem, Safecracker types of a game. Solitary exploration, mostly logic based challenges and a somewhat loose story. As it is much less involved than Raven's Hollow is from a development standpoint, expect it to be completed in a relatively short time.

Currently I am finishing up the first location for this new title as well as some actual screenshots from Raven's Hollow for an upcoming interview.

The nice thing is that I will actually be working on the Raven's Hollow engine sooner than originally planned since this other title will be using it. In a strange way, I am checking off some to-dos for both games at the same time. smile

I "think" the interview is planned for the end of November, so expect to see some new Raven's Hollow images then, followed by some screenshots for this new game sometime in mid-December (although I seem to be on a roll lately, so it might be sooner.)

Busy, busy, busy... thumbsup

This sounds like a great game. Anything with "horror" somewhere in the description is guaranteed to pique my interest! Looking forward to this one already.

Do I misunderstand her latest 'news' about RH? She says something about the "Other" game and the same name being used (the "Other" game also being called Ravens Hollow?). And she is doing some work on it as it is still in development and has an "interview" scheduled with regard to it - so is this a different RH new game from the one we played in 2006?
Love, Betty Lou

BL, who is "she" that you are referring to? This is an OLD thread as I stated in the post above yours. Raven's Hollow is not released yet but it will be shortly. Hidden Sactum is working on some puzzle games as well which may be the "other" games you are referring to.

What Ravens Hollow did you play last year? It is not released yet.

It may be best to close this thread since the info is a year old and only leads to confusion.

Betty Lou -- Ivinia is Eric McConnell of Hidden Sanctum. I believe that Ivinia is a place, not a woman's name. laugh

LOL, yes Ivinia is a place going back to my Role-Playing Game days and yes, I am a 'he'.

The 'Other' game that seems to be causing some confusion here is Pieces of Eight. It's planned to come out before Raven's Hollow. Both games are running well beyond their expected release dates. It has more to do with some early expectations not being met which we are trying to recover from than anything else - well, and our desire to make things even better than originally planned. Long story...

The puzzle games the BrownEyedTiger is probably referring to are some casual games we are doing. We were supposed to release 2 of them last week, but had a slight hiccup along the way involving a Frenchman vacationing in Venice, LOL. No worries though. Nothing ever runs as smoothly as planned, but as long as we keep moving forward, we'll get to where we need to be - just not as quickly as we would have liked.

Things are going to be a bit hectic over here next week (I hope!). We've already done some design changes to our website that haven't gone live yet. We should have those 2 games ready to go out - unless our vacationing Frenchman decides to stay in Venice another week! Then we might have to get Gameboomers Ace news reporter Carla to go on a scavenger hunt. smile So while next week we hope to release 2 casual games and launch our new site design, it's going to even get a little crazier...

We were supposed to release another game two weeks after the two that are on hold at the moment. That game is actually in three parts - Version 1 with 1,500 puzzle in it, Version 2 with another 1,500 puzzles and the Deluxe version which contains all 3,000 puzzles from version 1 & 2 plus 7,000 more...10,000 puzzles in all that fans of GameBoomers Garden of Puzzling Delights might enjoy.

Our plan is to make all of these games easy on the wallets and purses. So if all goes well (fingers crossed) we will be releasing a new website design and 5 new titles next week. LOL, forgive me if I seem a little nutty next week...well, nuttier than usual!

Your lost Frenchman must be very wet, that's the reason he's not back yet! lol

We had lots of rain and the famous venetian "high tide" stroke back, tell me if you need a rescue party, I'll see what I can do! happydance

Happy to see you here with all these exciting news, Ivinia!
