We'll have to wait a bit longer to enjoy this upcoming creepy adventure.

Quote:
Got Game Entertainment LLC today confirmed that the release of “The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure” has been pushed to next year. The suspense-adventure game for the PC being developed by Jonathan Boakes and his Darkling Room team is now slated for a Q1 2008 release. “The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure” will make its retail debut at $29.99 (USD) and is not yet rated by the ESRB.

“The developer was not able to deliver the game in the expected time-frame, but assures us that ‘the end is in sight’,” said Got Game Entertainment President Howard Horowitz. “Mr. Boakes is determined to create the best possible gaming experience and we believe ‘The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure’ will be well worth the wait.”

Got Game Entertainment is expected to announce a more precise release date shortly after the holidays.


There's a bit more information about the delay here.


For more information about the game, visit the game's webpage.

Thanks for posting the news, Becky. smile

It's a bit of a bummer, but I'm sooooo far behind in my game play, I've got plenty to keep me busy if/when I have the time!

Besides...I'd rather a developer work to get it "right", rather than "quick." I think we all appreciate that! thumbsup

Well, at least my friends and family will get more than beer and sandwiches for Christmas dinner.

I hope Jonathon gives us a better ending this time. I loved the Dark Fall games, but the endings just kinda fell flat. Give us a spectacular ending!!

cry Oh well at least I have some great games to play while I'm waiting - and its nice to have something good to look forward to in the new year. I'd rather they took a bit extra time & ironed out problems than rush & give us a game full of bugs.

This is disappointing. When Darkling Room said: '... so a festive release is unlikely. It's a shame, to say the least,' they said a mouthful for me.

It'll be worth the wait. I commend Jonathan for taking the time to do it right the first time. bravo

My copy of this game has been on backorder since early October, with no contact from Got Game. So, I contacted them. About a week later, they informed me of the delay. In the meantime, I paid for it....::sigh::

Oh well.

Well, I 'm disappointed, but as with everyone else, I am reveling in the quality and quantity of the adventures that still await me on my shelf. It is something to look forward to in the early new year.....when the holidays are over and it is still dark and cold....and sometimes stormy...perfect for ghost hunting. :shiver:

Once again, the whole world is disrupted by Microsoft and its Vista OS. It's a shame that this great game is being delayed due to testing on such a lousy OS in the first place. Oh well, at least the game is still being planned for an early 08 release. Microsoft might even have their Service Pack 1 update for Vista ready before then!

Disappointing hope the release won't be long after the first.

Thanks for the update Becky.

Thanks to Jonathan for going the extra mile (as usual) to get it right. Remember to take some time out Jonathan with family and friends, have a good christmas and i'm sure we will have a prosperous gaming New Year. wave

All the very best smile

Thanks Becky, all good things come to him who waits think- it just seems such a long time. May be they should have called it the found crown and it would have stopped it being lost rotfl


Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

I haven't received confirmation from the publisher about that date -- but we did hear from Interact about it here.

I know I don't have a lot of patience, but since I really like Jonathan Boakes I first preordered early in October. I relented and got my money back (Yes, they took my money) until early November when I preordered again, then RE-took the money back early December. THEN I re-re-Reordered (or whatever) December 12th and have waited ever since. Banks and Paypal will release your money. I have since held pat. It's not Jonathan I'm worried about; it's THE OTHER ONES. Sorry.
