braken tor

i talked to maybe it was dave at interact today really nice person i cancelled my pre order on braken tor i must of had that order for eons.ihad to laugh because i dont think neither one of us remembered what year i had ordered it.anyway if it ever shows up and you can order it iam on it. hope its on disk. dianne

I had pre-ordered Bracken Tor the first day Interact had it listed. Still have the print out and the date was.....10/19/10 I believe is was scheduled for a Halloween 2010 release the first time.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

I wonder if this game is officially dead at this point. The website is still up, but maybe that is an inside joke....

I doubt it. I think at this point it's only a matter of a tiny bit more patience and then it'll be out. Be strong!

I'll second jfcwilson, I'm sure we will see it soon

Soon as in this year? You have some hush-hush information you are keeping hush-hush about? :-)

Patient is one thing, but it's now two years since it was to be released. Last we heard there were issues with publishing or distribution related to language or translation problems, I thought. Maybe that isn't right. At any rate, it didn't seem to be a major roadblock, but now, months later, there's absolutely no news at all. That doesn't seem promising.

If Matt needed a donation a la "kickstarter" or something similar to push it through to completion and get it out and distributed, this is a game I would invest some coin in, because 1) it looks almost done, 2) it looks like a great game. I just wish we'd get some news...anything....

That is the worst part: no info whatsoever.

Hopefully we will see the game end of 2012 or Q1 2013

Good to hear more positive news again. Thanks, Carla

I emailed Matt and this is what he had to say:

"Bracken Tor: The Time and Tooth and Claw should be released towards the end of this year Or the start of next. Bracken Tor: The Dark Path (Not yet announced) will follow likely late in 2013, and will be a bridge towards Wychwood. Bracken Tor: The Dark Path’s storyline runs concurrent with Tooth and Claw, taking gamers to a range of new locations and features a big return of Radio DJ Emma Harry, along with other characters.

The game has grown, and developed to feel more in keeping with the Original Barrow Hill, a 4 direction node based game, crammed with puzzles and filled to the brim with an English folk horror mystery vibe.

The game world is huge, taking in a range of locations in the time settings of modern day and the ancient past, featuring recreations of ancient monuments here in Cornwall and capturing the desolate and now abandoned expanse of the Cornish moorland. With a return to a corner of the game world from Barrow Hill and an advance journey inside the village of Wychwood, locations should really please gamers both old and new.

Matt"

Thanks matt for the news!

That's great! Thanks jfcwilson.

Nice to know that there will be another game between Bracken Tor and Wychwood. Hope rekindled.

I'm glad to hear they're still working on Bracken Tor and hope the developers are able to stick to this schedule.

Now if only we'd hear some good news about Coven.

Interesting. An ambitious plan, considering Tooth & Claw was supposed to be out two years ago. I hope it all materializes and isn't just vaporware.

Thanks for passing along the news from Matt.

oh no i just cancelled it at interact i must of had that one on pre order for at least 2 years oh i forgot interact is closing right,i wonder how iam gonna re order it now, guess have to send for it half way across the globe.it will be worth it right dianne

Whatever happened to this game?

I'm pretty sure it will be released within the next three to four years:-)

It's coming..when the developer or publisher releases an update we will be sure to post it.

Have been SO looking forward to more of his games!

I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas !

If you're like a kid on Christmas waiting for this game, I can only empathize with what your poor parents have been going through for the past three or four years...

The delay on this is past surreal now.

It makes you wonder why these studios are already advertising new games when they havent even released their previous games yet...

THere are many reasons for delays, a lot of them are beyond their controls. When the games are ready, they will be released.

I'm sure this topic has already been brought up, but... Is this sequel (forgot name) dead?

Thanks.

Hey Laurette,

Bracken Tor: Time of tooth and claw has been delayed considerably, along with a third and fourth installment in the series, but there's no reason at this time to think that it will never be released. The developer is still working on these games.

Thanks,
James

Thank you, James.

Is this game still coming out?

Sorry, no new news, but I hopeful.
