Non-nudes?

Non-nudes?

I was going to go with better angles.

[Klytos]

I'd go with less angles.

I, for one, welcome our new Kings Kwest Kandy Krush overlords.

[Blackthorne]

I didn't say nudes of me.

Activision doesn´t do anything with GK 1 Remake. I hope on the other games too. They only look about legal stuff in the games...

Well, they did negotiate the license to Jane. They might not be directly involved with its production, but the latest move indicates that they had plans for the Sierra IP when they awarded that license to Jane's team. I would not be surprised if the Sierra logo ended up being slapped on the box.

The GK1 remake project was BEGUN under Activision, wasn't it?  I seem to remember Cesar telling us that POS was given a bunch of resources that had already been created by an internal team, and that they basically continued the project from where Activision's team had left off.

[Klytos]

Something like that, I vaguely remember a conversation about it where I was told it went through at least 2 attempts within Activision before it was given to POS.

The new King's Quest is not a point and click adventure.

@Collector and Lambonius


As Josh Mandel said to me in a livestream from Doublefine:

Back before the Pinkerton Road and LSL:R Kickstarter projects, there was an effort by someone at Activision (a man I used to work before before he went to Activision) to restart some of the Sierra IPs as mobile games.

yes, but Activision is a tough nut to crack. Even with Jane's resume, getting the GK license took *years and years* of wrangling.

Even on the Pinkerton Road farm (in early 2013) Jane didn´t want to say anything about it. But the little pictures of the sneak preview looked like GK.

Wah wah...


On the plus side, that probably means they're not doing a Telltale-style game either, since that's what people think "point-and-click" is nowadays.


I suspect that statement was made with the explicit strategic intent of causing a bunch of fan uproar and getting people talking though, so it could totally be bullshit, or not really mean what it sounds like.

Oh well.  If nothing else, this should be an amusing slow-motion train wreck to watch.

"We are making an adventure game just not one that solely uses the mouse"

Actually, that's exactly what I thought when I've read that "The new King's Quest is not a point and click adventure." - and if you thought that it's going to be a 3D-action game or something like that, then you, sirs, are perverts.
