Well it is nice to see you again.

Grab a chair and make yourself at home. We got coffee brewing, lots of beverages and a nice ale selection as well. laugh

Just a very swift message to say, thanks for having me and I'll be along tomorrow. If I'm a little later than the times advertised it's because I've got a secret meeting in the morning and during the afternoon I'll be spending some of the time taking an important call. But you know how it is for us high-flying independent freelance creative types...

Because we put them there. Seriously, that's the reason. What we didn't do was take the time to evaluate them and ensure the balance was right. Not enough time at the end to do a lot of things we should have, unfortunately.

Hi Steve,

Just for the record. Have you, in any way, involved in another adventure game besides Broken Sword series?

And, what was your contribution in Broken Sword?

Thanks!

I thought the crates were the best part of the game (really) smile It was a lot better than trying to sneak past those guards frown
I hope the next game you make will be called Crates and more Crates...it would make a great puzzle game

In the interest of starting off some actual questions, I copied your two part question and pasted them up as two new thread starters.

Now we have some bright inquisitive people here already. Surely you got questions for Steve other than "Crate boy - myth or reality??"

I'll go and look at the other questions. smile

Some of the crate puzzles were used in the wrong context and I understand people's frustrations at them. I don't think they were bad in themselves, just out of place. So a crate pushing puzzle game...

Steve,

Broken Sword 3 was a great game that just did not sell well. Do you have any opinions on why the sales were below expectations? Poor marketing? Poor word-of-mouth.

Question #2

Why is it that everyone complains about too many crate puzzles in BS3 but I never see action gamers complain about too many guns in a game or too many corridors - is it because adventure gamers expect more?
