WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?!

<a href="http://youtu.be/jDMCrkI-b7c" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://youtu.be/jDMCrkI-b7c</a>


I am UTTERLY OFFENDED by this BLATANT BETRAYAL of the True Faith that is the Adventure Game for the Pure Filth that is the common and unsophisticated platformer!

Nah, just kidding. Looks like a fun romp, guys. Is it gonna stay on Itch.io or will there be details getting released over here as well (on the site if not the forums)?

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Farewell, Telltale?
« on: September 21, 2018, 05:30:42 PM »
It appears to be the end of an era, for good or ill.

Given the opinions on Telltale's works over the years here, I'm curious how people feel about this.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / The Art of Point-and-Click Adventure Games
« on: April 18, 2018, 06:18:42 PM »
Those of you who know me fairly well are aware that I'm far more about the musically artistic component of games than the visually artistic. But this? This GREATLY tempts even me.

@Broomie, I hope at least you will be getting a copy.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Just One Line, a modern text adventure
« on: December 03, 2017, 08:19:24 PM »
Given the well-known enjoyment of the parser interface amongst several of the folks behind the infamy here, I thought it might be wise to post about this here.

Take a look and maybe check out the demo or Early Access if you like.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Conquests of GOG
« on: May 05, 2017, 09:15:36 AM »
Christy Marx's work at Sierra is now available on GOG for $6 each.

Possibly of even greater interest, GOG did a short interview with her which revealed that she had at least some preliminary ideas for two other Conquests games; here's hoping she gets the chance to make them someday.

Amusingly, someone mentioned IQ as a potential partner in the comments on GOG. Anyone think we should direct Ms. Marx towards the for-profit groups that have grown out of the fangame scene?

I'm not sure if this should go here or not, but you guys might want to keep an eye on the SQ2 downloads and see if there's a spike...because the LoadingReadyRun YouTube channel just uploaded this.

Banter and Chit-Chat! / Al Lowe Leaves Replay Games

You know how a lot of people felt Paul Trowe was a little shady? Well, prepare for some rather unfortunate confirmation.
