Anyone knows what happened to Big Finish Games?

Their website went down days ago and is now being parked.

There is no message left on the unofficial Tex Murphy site from the developer?

This is not good...

I haven't heard anything, maybe they just didn't renew the domain in time and it'll be back. We can hope.

I have no real info, but I remember reading in their forums that their 3 Cards to Midnight games were doing badly among the causal gamers despite good reviews. It all seemed like they weren't planning to make another game in that style, but rather go back to adventure games...

Here is the latest news:

Quote:
A few days ago, our Big Finish, Inc. website got into a bar fight (hey, it was a holiday weekend) and was sucker-punched by some yahoo. Fortunately, it managed to sleep it off and is now back in business. We apologize for any inconvenience and/or concern this may have caused.
In other news, please check in with us toward the end of the summer (late September-ish) as we will have some news on an upcoming release. No, it’s not Project Fedora, but we do hope to have some info regarding that venture as well.

Thanks Ana! Sounds like they've been busy while their site was out making the bar scene. There's something about those words..."we will have some news on an upcoming release" that's like music to my ears. grin
