Hi all

Hope you are enjoying Syberia: The World Before. Got her installed but have yet to start. Soon as I get done here I'll be double clicking

So.....Can anyone share anything new about.....geeze I forgot the name....ASYLUM! You know when this game first showed up the vids and screens
pretty much had us all ready to download. I can only believe we would still go after it if it ever does release. Right now I'm just looking for ANY info on it. They use to have a website dedicated to it. I dont know what happened to it. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to maybe get updates that aren't backer related. I really don't know why I care. I don't know.....just hoping to play someday I guess thinking, as long as it is taking to develop, this will be one for the history books you'd think

I dont know how long this latest Syberia took to develop but maybe someone should give Koalabs Games a call. Syberia looks great. I played the demo and wanted more RIGHT now. IT'S HERE! They did not mess around. You know thats how you do it!

Getting back to Asylum....Is the info you backers are getting any signs of hope or are they still beating around the bush. If there is no info on a release then in my opinion there never will be a release and I will finally remove from wishlist and forget about it. Should have done that already. If they were getting close you would think there would be mention of it. I really wonder whats going on. One thing for sure...I am glad I did not back. Last time I checked somewhere, can't remember where, many wanted their money back. Wonder how that works out for them

I won't be ranting on this game anymore. Please forgive my.......hostilities?

Take care all..... on to Syberia

Especially for those of us who did back this game, you have plenty of company, Orion! Have fun with Syberia!

I think the Asylum team are using Discord now instead of Senscape. Also, if I remember correctly, Augustin is from Venezuela, which has had its share of problems.

Agustin lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina and he is fine.

The latest update was yesterday and this is it:
Quote
BTW gang, it's been an eventful Friday of wrapping up stuff, talking to potential new people to join Senscape, and we have a bunch of solid news lined up for next week. The Asylum is busier than ever, and the schedule is tighter than ever too!

We know that we're owing you one of those massive Steam updates with loads of screenshots and goodies, and that's just around the corner 👀


When there is something I can post that means anything, I'll be posting.

Thank you for that, BrownEyedTigre. At least THAT is a positive in this totally disappointing situation 🙂

Appreciate the comments.

Guess they are going to release more pics and "goodies"....OK. How about a tenative release date, this year, next year, 5 years from now. What ever happened to this other demo I thought they were going to release or were they???

SIBERIA....PLAY IT ! Absolutely AMAZING ! This is what adventure gaming is all about. You don't see much of this type of PURE adventure gaming anymore. Could be the last of it's kind. Don't let it get away from you. I did not know that Benot passed away, very sad. They have dedicated this BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART to him

You all take care out there and thank you

I too backed Asylum. I used to get occassional KS updates through email, but it has been quite a while since the last one. Glad to hear development is still ongoing, but for sure they incorporated way too much ambition in the game design. Still rooting for them though


What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...

This is quoted from the Kickstarter comments a month ago:

I look forward to play the Asylum game - hopefully before the whole world turns into one big asylum - but is there a chance that the game will be released in 2022?

Our pleasure, *****, and thanks for the kind words. Guess you realized the big twist of the game -- we all have to go crazy to play it!

In all seriousness, you know that's a difficult question, and I wouldn't want to give false hopes -- but we're taking steps to ensure a release date is settled as soon as humanly possible. I'll be glad to discuss more about this in our upcoming update!


Hard to be believe it was funded on "Successfully funded on Feb 28 2013" I was backer #6. lol

Drac, if you go to KS and view your pledge the number you are is on there. I think many of us back in the day, jumped at the chance to support and purchase the game. This among others is why I no longer give my hard earned money to any kickstarters.

I stopped too. I think the last one was The Season of the Warlock about 3 years ago. I'm really looking forward to that release because the demo was fun. But I've given up on Asylum.

Well I'm NOT giving up, Draclvr, as I'm hoping to be still playing games when I reach 90.

It's been a long wait for Bracken Tor, but I still have hope that we will see it someday. smile

One thing I can say is that Jonathan's and Matt's games have all been worth the wait.

Asylum was crowd funded; Bracken Tor was not. Makes a difference for some people.

Argyle1968, there is no comparison with the two games. Shadow Tor Studios has never asked for a dime from anyone. They can make whatever game decisions they wish with their games. They owe no one, any thing.

When you ask for money and make promises and then follow that with nearly ten years of excuses, I think those of us that supported him deserve something and we have the right to complain.

Bracken Tor became Barrow Hill: The Dark Path according to the developer Matt Clark as he himself told me.
