Lastly, I am working on a new game. Yes. And, it's going to be super. I love the setting (new), the established characters and the threat. It's not as quirky as The Lost Crown, but will use some of the elements created for that game. Those who know my previous games will recognise many plot threads, with some loose strands being tied up. As far as titles go, the game will be called Dark Fall III, which is exciting...to continue the series. The subtitle gives LOADS away, so I'll hang on to that for a bit. In the mean time, rest assured in the knowledge that I am working, very hard, and making the best game I possibly can. It will be point and click, mouse only, with loads of puzzles (of every kind), made for XP and Vista, with adventure fans in mind.
The setting is horribly spooky (I'm surprised the location hasn't been used before), and really does provide a perfect stage on which to tell a ghost story; with lots of stony passages, dark pinewoods and long forgotten hallways. Horror-wise, this game will scare people; I'm constantly leafing through the game document (which is a bit like a walkthrough, for me to keep on top of the story) and adding "more creepiness here" and "needs a jolt here". If you found the crypt ghost or Ager Brothers spooky you may wish to start on breathing techniques now. In all honesty, I love spooky games, and want to make the next Dark Fall as weird and wonderful as possible. Fingers crossed, you should be playing the game by this time next year. I'm aiming for dark nights, as always, but we'll see how it goes. Deadlines have a way of flying past, at an alarming rate. But, one thing is for sure, I will be continuing the series (as its called) with this next game, with more to follow. The Dark Fall is coming...again...and it will know your name...
Get out in the sun!
