Hi all,
motivated by a recent thread, I tried to create a complete list of games still in development by Jonathan and Matt.
Starting point were the following websites
http://www.darklingroom.co.uk/index.html (is this Jonathan Boakes company?)
http://www.shadowtorstudios.co.uk/store/ (is this Matt's company?)
According to these two sides, I found those games in development
Lammana - The Looe Island Mystery (featured on both sites, maybe because they teamed up for this game?)
The Lost Crown - Silent Night (featured on both sides, but with non-identical titles, on one site 'The Lost Crown' as a prefix is missing)
The Last Crown - Blackenrock (featured on both sides, maybe because they teamed up for this game?)
Dark Fall 5 - Storm Warning (featured only on dark fall site, maybe because Matt is not involved that much in this game?)
Glastonbury - The Alchemical Mystery (featured only on darkfall side, even though it is mentioned that Matt = shadowtorstudio is involved)
Bracken Tor (featured only on shadowtorstudio site, I guess because it is more of Matt's project only?)
I hope both sites are actual and all of these 6 games are still in production - can anybody confirm?
So far, so good, but on the internet, the following additional titles are mentioned:
The First Crown
Dark Fall - Dowerton Experiment (is this maybe the old name of Dark Fall 5 - Storm Warning - or is this even Dark Fall 6?)
Glastonbury - Waking Dream of Avalon (old name for Glastonbury - The Alchemical Mystery or a different game?)
This is so confusing. Can anybody clear this up? Are the last 3 games old names or abandoned projects (which would explain why they are not listed in any of the two sites)
Also, I can totally understand that creative minds work in a way that they need different projects in parallel to stay motivated. But 6 or even up to 9 games/projects in parallel development is really too much, imo. Not meant to criticize the developers, their games are really great and they can do whatever they want, like I have mentioned before. But the consequence is that it takes a very long time before a game is ready to be released. Having said that, I am very much looking forward for the next game, I am pretty sure it will be a good one once again.
Update: I found one more game title: Wychwood Hollow - no idea about this game at all
